For me it was The Amytiville Horror (1979). I still can't look out of a window at night and not think of seeing eyes. I didn't see the film until I was about 11, so mid 80s.
When I got my first tattoo 30 years ago, my then mother-in-law said I'd be in prison soon enough. So far I've managed to be a good citizen (it seems following the law is easy), but I've got a plan for this to prove her right. When I'm about to go bye bye , I'm going to strip naked and run around on live TV, probably at a sporting event. That will at least get me arrested, and if I resist arrest and generally be annoying, I'm might go to prison to let the state pay for all the medical things associated with my demise. These tattoos are a bad influence. Hell awaits.
I don't have opportunity for gardening or a need for for firewood. Just this afternoon, I did just very successfully forage for yummy wild mushrooms for my lunch.
Do I have to be profound when I make a comment that is taking more of a dig at my fellow space rock companions than at AI itself?
If I do, then I feel like the author of the article either has as much faith in humanity as I do, or is as simple as I was alluding to in my original comment. The fact that they need to dehumanise the AI's responses makes me think they’re forgetting it’s something we built. AI isn’t actually intelligent, and it worries me how many people treat it like it is—enough to write an article like this about it. It’s just a tool, maybe even a form of entertainment. Thinking of it as something with a mind or personality—even if the developers tried to make it seem that way—is kind of unsettling.
Let me know if you would like me to write thiis more formal, casual, or persuasive. 😜
Can we say that AI has the potential for "intelligence", just like some people do? There are clearly some very intelligent people and the world, and very clearly some that aren't.
Yeah, you're right, but perhaps I should not be so dramatic abouts it ending the relationship. More that I'm worried the conversation will bring unnecessary stress on top of so much stress. If there wasn't so much going on, this would be an easier conversation to have.
I'm not sure how you got that I don't appreciate history from my comment. That's some amazing mental gymnastics. You get a cookie.
