The weather today was hot. According to the official weather apps, the highest temperature was around +36°C with not-so-clear skies, and it heated the attic so much that it felt like being in a sauna up here. Before hitting the sack, I'll surely switch on the AC units in the bedroom; otherwise, I won't be able to sleep.
After my initial blunders concerning my input, I could submit clear instructions and parameters along which both AI could provide me with valuable feedback and help. These large language models are truly fascinating, although the question of being taught by a machine makes the process a bit weird. The Industrial Revolution brought about changes, e.g., the steam train, that people couldn't comprehend when they first met these technical achievements. However, none of those novelties stirred up much emotion and foreboding than AI. The implication of these modern machine-based assistants that can create cohesive sentences that even a literature professor would consider a legit piece of writing draws attention to the question: what if AI gets some consciousness and regard human beings as enemies? What will it do? How will it react? And what will it be connected with? Will we need those brain implants that make AI part of our bodies? Will letting a robot surgically insert a chip into our brains be mandatory? If so, to what extent will we be able to control these implants? And how can we control what these implants do to us? Phew, that was a piece of stream of consciousness. Anywho, as long as it behaves and helps us thrive, I don't mind using them; after all, it is a great way to expand my possibilities in practising my English.
