AI ~ an expression of nature

I don’t know how y’all feel about AI right now, but I like this, Fraud Monet, very funny.

I suspect that who- or what-ever wrote this copy decided to not use “who” (the human pronoun), but maybe the use of “that” was just an error because human intelligence is and was already in decline!?

The importance of the distinction between “who” and “that” in this context has probably never been more hotly contested than during the current storm about AI.

I was talking to a Zen friend last night about how human intelligence has caused a lot of harm (and good) on this planet, especially in an ecological sense, but at the bottom of it all, human intelligence is just another expression of nature.

Therefore so is artificial intelligence, as an expression of human intelligence.

Nature is bigger than both of these things.

I’m worried about the proliferation of bullshit that might result from dodgy journalists having a ChatGPT account and I’m worried about artists losing their livelihood, but the post-truth age was upon us long before the rise of AI chatbots writing essays, and artists have been economically marginalised since forever anyway. This new addition to the equation just adds pressure to the pot!
