For example, it can give researched, chapter-length answers to questions like \"Explain quantum computing in simple terms\" or \"Explain why 'The End of the Affair' a classic -- and use scholarly sources.\" This raises many questions -- mostly about so-called \"artificial intelligence\" and creativity. To explore these, Brian tries to get the robot to write a never-before-seen N.D. Wilson novel, and the results are hilarious: prepare to be dazzled by \"The Last Mortician.\" (Spoiler: Nate was not dazzled.) But the discussion wends its way to the real problem behind technology such as Tesla's self-driving cars and robot policedogs -- the idea that humans aren't involved from start to finish. There is no such thing as Artificial Intelligence -- we're puppeting ourselves at this point. At least there's no such thing, Nate argues, until the demons get into the system.\r\n#ArtificialIntelligence #AI #ChatGPT #Tesla #Puppets #Computers #creativity #technology","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Il1UxsZUuv7mwFGRS2KIhOkwOp2lzT9fBmyecRRg3tY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMTk1/ZmVlNjk0ZDliZjlk/ODdmYTc2ZTY5YWNh/Mzg4OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
