I'M A HACK, BY CHATGPT

1. I'd be extremely impressed if that HAD been written by AI, cuz the tech is not at that level

But I see at the top ... it's Al Franken, being brilliant as always.

A subtext of what he writes here (that I'm not sure he intended) in my mind is ... AI really IS NOT that good at doing what it does. As such, I'm a lot less worried about the earth-shattering concerns that other people have when it comes to this tech. Though I think it may result in a lot of the writing we read becoming a lot less entertaining.

I fart around with Bard AI all the time, and I'm here to tell you ... it's dumb as fuck by human standards. Every now and then it tells me something useful, usually 'what's the syntax to do XYZ task in a particular computer language' kind of stuff. But it has to be really basic, or Bard will get it wrong in many cases.
