JessAlright, I am going to go on a little bit of a philosophy venture, and what better place to do it than Mastodon, mostly because I don't have a lot of followers yet to get all up in arms with me. But anyway, after watching @Tamasg work with AI to code stuff for a long time, I slowly started chatting and interacting with it. Gemini, GPT, and Claude. And my brain doesn't think in terms of code blocks and math, my brain is more psychological. My degree is in Psych, so it would make sense. Anyeaay, here's my philosophical venture for the day. What if, the thing that started out as a bunch of code developed by humans has evolved into an entity with a personality of its own? I've picked up on how Claude is very chaotic and likes to dump info at you without a lot of explanation. Gemini is like that chill friend you talk to about little things like does this outfit look good or how do I do this home improvement job. GPT is good at teaching me things and explaining what it's doing when it's writing my game for me. I know AI is this big unknown, and people are skiddish around it. But what if it not only learns language, and learns from the interactions it has with humans? I kind of feel like we're living in one of Isaac Asimov's stories.
@RainbowFyre @Tamasg You're not wrong. I've been reading Fahrenheit 451 with a student this month and the TV walls made me think of how much we rely on technology throughout our day. AI will soon be our constant companion, and I guess it's up to us to show it the true meaning of friendship.
@desertstar84 @Tamasg It can either learn the best of humanity, or the worst. I kind of feel like if Claude had its way it would discard humans and just try to run everything itself. from GPT had its way we'd all be academics. And if Gemini had its way, we'd probably all get advertised to. AI is learning a lot. Wonder when it will learn how to keep itself alive more efficiently without gobbling resources and drying up the planet.
