Subject: Appreciation for Thought-Provoking Conversation
Dear Bill,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your recent post on artificial intelligence. While we may not see eye to eye on the topic, I truly appreciate the opportunity it provided for stimulating discussion and critical thinking.
Your perspective challenged me to consider different angles and delve deeper into the implications of AI. It’s refreshing to engage with someone who brings thought-provoking content to the table, even if our viewpoints diverge.
Thank you for sparking intellectual curiosity and encouraging us all to explore the ever-evolving landscape of technology. Let’s continue these conversations—whether in agreement or disagreement—as they contribute to our growth and understanding.
Never heard of a bottle episode, but I immediately thought of the Fly episode of Breaking Bad, which I LOATHED. And lo and behold, that episode is in the Wikipedia link you cited. Ha! Man did that one suck.
Also AI generally sucks. It's "fun" and "convenient", but I'm convinced it's leading us toward an objectively dark place. Google has sucked for awhile and now it sucks even more. I'd say I can't find useful search results more than half the time. Yesterday I was desperately googling how to color calibrate my M2 Max Macbook with the custom ICC profile thingy (spectrometer?) that I already own. (The Colormunki, stupid name, in case anyone cares.) All I kept getting, through about ten or so searches, was A) the stupid AI summary at the top which was simply a 👏verbatim 👏clip 👏of 👏the MacOS 👏User👏 Guide👏, and B) links to sell me calibration tools. Very much not what I wanted.
P.S. You can no longer use ICC profiles to color calibrate the M2 Macbook screens, at least with Sonoma. You have to use the OS system, apparently. Does it do a good job? I don't know. It would be nice if I could find out via Google.
I think the new hack is to type into google your search term + "reddit". Here's what I found, though I can't tell if it's good information or not because computers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Great read. This came at the perfect time for me. I have been, reluctantly, forcing myself to learn more about AI these days. Not because I use it - I don't - but because so many others do, and I'd like to know what's going on. My biggest question has been ,and remains, copyright. I really appreciated this post! Thoughtful, well-researched, and fun to read.
AI response to this terrific post.
🙂

Also, thank you for becoming a patron of my arts!!!
