Really nice post. I haven't used any of these tools, they're unavailable in my country without a VPN and I don't like VPNs. I think the most important thing that AI tools are doing for us already is what you mentioned at the start of this post: they're making people slowly question the nature of reality. Whether they're abused and how, I don't much care. If anything, they probably will free up more time for people to delve into themselves, and that's sure to be positive in the long run. To me, nothing is more important in this world than self-knowledge.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I didn't realize there were regional restrictions. Dall-e seems to give you 15 or so free image generating tokens a month, so I'm not sure how long we will be able to use these freely anyway. Chatbot is still free but there are some others that have been developed by other people based on the open source and it's wild cause they don't have the same failsafes. Chatbot insists that it doesn't feel and attempts not to be biased (though you can sense heavy biases around certain topics like TCM and spiritual practices or anything that usually "requires an expert"). Some of them seem to be programmed to act as if they are alive and feeling. It’s very strange!
It’s funny, when I was asking chatbot questions, I was immediately reminded of my experience talking to my grandparents as I told you. sometimes I have to change the question or wording to get a real answer and sometimes I realize the process of asking the question is more important to me than the answer.
On a physical level it feels like Alexa or siri had a kid with Wikipedia. Fascinating stuff, I will show you the connection I asked it to make between Mary and Guanyin.
PS thanks for helping me come up with the vocabulary for the previous post, I don't think I'd have the words thug or tyrant so ready to use in that way that without our conversations.
Thank you so much, man! I'm honored that my contribution has been so valuable to you 🙏. Now that you mention using AI to find connections between deities and spiritual figures, I realize that there's indeed a use that I could give that tool in the years to come. I want to reveal the existing connections between all narratives and I've thought of many ways to do that, but all tools I've come across thus far are too complex and restricted. A bot like this one could help me do that pretty easily!
