Do you suppose that is the result of Gell-Mann Amneisa?
You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues… and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
You know how to program, so you know the AI sucks at programming. You know it sucks at poetry, synthesis research, etc etc. You don’t know how to draw, but do you suppose the AI is good at drawing?
There’s something about the internet, isn’t there? It encourages us to presume discord when we come to the same point in two different ways. I’ll take full credit for misunderstanding your agreement and interpreting it uncharitably. I need to resist that instinct. Cheers, mate!

I think Dan Olson said he saw people “praying” to ChatGPT, and I can’t think of a better analogy for it.

I know what you mean. I don’t remember always feeling so defensive on the internet lol. I think that feeling it’s a function of societal divisions.
