Indeed John Carter ... a profound angle on what it means to be human, rather important as general A.I. might be right around the corner ... and begs the question as to whether 'Artificial Belief" might emerge from the current A.I. 'hallucinations' (funny euphemism for 'lying with confidence'. Just yesterday, Yokosuka shi, south of Yokohama announced it was incorporating ChatGPT into its city government work flow. Fingers crossed.
Oh no. Are they already incorporating it? I played with it for a few minutes, and in the course of that time, it produced several well-written texts, full of factual errors.
Yeah, same here. Scary that "hallucinations" is making the rounds as a euphemism for "errors". My guess is that the psychopaths in charge will soon be appropriating that term for their shameless lying. A long-time common practice for politicians or businessmen inescapably guilty act of thievery suddenly become 'sick' and are hurried to a private hospital for long term recuperation. I'd bet my bottom yen that 'hallucinations' will be one of the emerging symptoms.
GPT4, on the other hand, produced some scary good results depending on how well I prompted it. For example, one of my prompts was to list those mystical traditions which organized religions tend to have in common, and it spit out a fairly comprehensive list in less than a minute. With a little prodding for details, poking at the edges of answers, and hedging meanings ... I could easily imagine the hype of being able to write a book in less than an hour.
My guess is that we will soon see a flood of books, music, and graphic arts that are largely, if not entirely, flooding the market ... and prompted by those with business interests as their priority. Unfortunately, it does not have to be great art because "good enough" will satisy the majority of people in the majority of situations. After my quick trip to the states, I thought about the difference between dining and shopping background music between Japan and the U.S. (mostly 'golden years' stuff for the snowbirds in Tucson ... and jazz/Brasil for the pretentious in Japan) ... but I cringed at the lowest common denominator of music forced into my ears at the cheaper dining spots of either country. Would rather hear the 'music of the spheres' through the chirping of crickets ... as long as they are not topping my pasta.
Again, just guessing, but the overtly human element will become increasingly important in distinguishing authentically human art as an experience from canned art as a consumer-commodity ... but that is something you are more qualified to write about in a future post. Looking forward to it Tessa.

To be fair, factual errors in government texts are already rather common... ;)
That, too. :) But I was not even talking about propaganda-type errors. I was talking about things that were blatantly made up with no seeming benefit.
So was I 😂
