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 At least it only does so when *asked*!

@patrizia @andrewfeeney @kevlin @cwebber Oh no… you just gave me a nightmare vision of an even more dystopian future where we have to endure "unsollicited automated mansplaining as a service"

@kevlin @vanderZwan @patrizia @cwebber I’m not going to lie, I had real trouble ordering the adjectives in this meme. Reading it again now it seems very wrong.

@andrewfeeney @kevlin @patrizia @cwebber … have you tried asking ChatGPT?

My first thought was: Determining the natural order of these given adjectives is actually the exact problem for which ingesting the entire internet into a generative model would be the insanely over-engineered but near perfect solution. Let's try it!

My second thought, after trying it, was that the results were ... inconclusive.

@andrewfeeney @kevlin @patrizia @cwebber at least it keeps up the mansplaining tradition of confidently contradicting something it just said

Okay fine, I'll give it this one. My prompt was wanting.
