Prickly City by Scott Stantis for April 27, 2023

Can A.I. have a original idea?

Same question could be rephrased: “If we were created by a god, why we are so stupid?”

A.I can (apparently) engage in sub-creation!!But to think that it is as valid as original creation, is beyond consideration!

SkyNet and The Terminator seem more likely every day.

Nah, I’m not worried about AI either. After what they did when experimenting it checking the internet, ChapGPT, and other forms, we’re safe. It’s PEOPLE you need to look out for. The older they get, the dumber they become (or TRY to become!)

As far as I can tell, things produced by AI SOUND human, but are actually mostly vague BS, and often completely false. So yes, we could be.

But thank you, Scott, for sending everyone into the epistemological abyss.

But Allen Iverson has retired

The Architect: The first matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect. It was a work of art. Flawless. Sublime. A triumph only equaled by its monumental failure.

The Creator created perfection perfectly then gave His highest form of creation free will…, and here we are.

The rise of the machine and the fall of man. The end of the human era. (Quoted from the cinema classic “Strange Brew” starring Bob and Doug MacKenzie)

And

If we were created by AI or even God, then nothing we do or say could possibly make the slightest bit of difference, so everyone just knock it off
