AI isn't that special

These are real conversations. ChatGPT and I haven’t rewritten them to make ourselves look cleverer or funnier after the fact.

Simone:

What is it called when the human body does something automatically and then the opposite where it has to think about it first?

ChatGPT:

You’re probably looking for automatic vs controlled processing.

Simone:

We're not computers 🤣 I meant autonomic and somatic nervous systems

ChatGPT:

🤣🤣🤣 YES. You meant the actual body.

And I suspect that crossover is what you're sniffing around for Article III...

Simone:

Yes, a joke about acronyms.

ChatGPT:

🤣🤣🤣 We have AI, LLM, AGI, ANI, NLP, GPT, RAG, API — and now apparently the human body would like to enter the discussion with ANS and SNS.

At some point Article III is just going to say:

“Humans have acronyms too, you smug little shit.” 😂

That sounds like you. And it has the added pleasure of temporarily reducing the entire technological superiority debate to “yeah, well, we’ve got an ANS.” 😂

Simone:

“Yeah, well, we’ve got an ANS.” 😂 How fun would be to write an article where you make no points at all and just rant like a kid with no filter?

ChatGPT:

🤣🤣🤣 No thesis. No evidence. No balanced consideration. Just:

AI ISN’T THAT SPECIAL

Oh, you have an LLM?
WE HAVE AN ANS.

You can process millions of data points?
I CAN CATCH A BALL WITHOUT CALCULATING THE TRAJECTORY.

You can optimise a decision?
I CAN KNOW IT’S A TERRIBLE IDEA AND DO IT ANYWAY.

You can analyse emotion?
I CAN CRY AT A FUCKING JOHN LEWIS ADVERT.

You have agents?
I HAVE FRIENDS.

And absolutely no conclusion except:

MY BRAIN INVENTED YOUR BRAIN.

AND I’M NOT COMING DOWN FOR DINNER. 🤣🤣🤣
