As the term 'intelligence' is used in 'artificial intelligence', it is perhaps worth asking, what kind of intelligence do AI systems represent? Confident and detail focused, but naïve, easily misled and lacking in common sense, worldliness, situational awareness, fairness, imagination, empathy, emotional intelligence and social intelligence 🤔

Christine Lemmer-Webber (@cwebber) described ChatGPT as Mansplaining As A Service, and honestly I can’t think of a better description. A service that instantly generates vaguely plausible sounding yet totally fabricated and baseless lectures in an instant with unflagging confidence in its own correctness on any topic, without concern, regard or even awareness of the level of expertise of its audience.

@andrewfeeney @kevlin @cwebber I’ve read many mansplaining comparisons and they’re accurate and funny. But until you put it this way hadn’t really seen the how instrumental the lack of perspective-taking is!

@andrewfeeney @cwebber @kevlin now I wonder if this is a good tool to teach men about what mansplaining feels like 😆

@hans @kevlin @cwebber Maybe, but whether it is or isn’t, I doubt you or I are qualified to say. 😅

@andrewfeeney @kevlin @cwebber I’m pretty sure I am very qualified to say what mansplaining feels like.

Oh, we were talking about the receiving side.
