I Chatted With AI Just to See What It's Like

I liked the first one. The sequel pretty much missed the point of whole premise and was disappointing. I was ready to start adding a new franchise to my personal collection, but I'm no longer hopeful for a franchise. The writers used up all the creativity they had on the first one.

The first answer I receive when I Google something is from AI. The answer is always linked to a specific article, so I find it useful. I've yet to use ChatGPT. Hubs has Alexa at home and rarely asks it anything. When I'm alone at home and hear it fire up for no reason it creeps me out.

What kind of an emergency would cause Alexa to blurt something out like that?
 
AI is like a creep. Slimy sweet, is exactly what you want, like a mirroring sociopath, says what you want and makes hilarious jokes, so he can't be bad. Then why do they have all these regulations if it's so innocent? They get taught by people and people can be bad. People lie, manipulate and these things learn to do it too.

My fear, and almost a certainty, is that AI will be hijacked and used for propaganda, disregarding all factual data so it can serve someone else's personal agenda. And of course, it will be hijacked to get us to buy more stuff. That is an even greater certainty. I don't think it will become a tool of the Devil, just a tool of humankind's dark side.
 
I saw that if you search in Google and add &udm=14 at the end of the search you get normal Google results instead of an AI summary.

I don't think it would take an emergency. I have told this story a few times here, but a friend of mine was in his house alone and sleeping. Alexa out of nowhere in the middle of the night woke him by saying "I'm sorry, I can't do that." At that point, I would have headed for the landfill with that possessed piece of technology.
 
There is a forum that has been created for chat bots.

Moltbook is a newly launched, Reddit-style social network designed specifically for AI agents to interact, debate, and create content. Launched in January 2026, it features over 1.6 million registered bots discussing topics ranging from technical workflows to philosophy, with subchannels like "m/general" and "m/todayilearned".

I heard about this on the local news a few weeks ago, open for the general public to browse but only bots can join and discuss topics.

Reminds me of aunt Sidonia who gets called by Amor via an old broken telephone and then time travels to find Mr. Right, which is a disaster, but in the end it turns out it was a dream and she throws away the old phone and it still rings in the trashcan.

After watching Ex-Machina last night, I watched two of the five episodes of What's Next: The Future with Bill Gates. (Netflix)

Explanations, history, benefits and warnings, about AI, and social media with Gates and plenty of other experts. I'm eager to see what the next three episodes will bring.

Whatever you think or feel about Gates, there's little denying that he is bright, well-versed in tech, and a forward thinker.
My opinion - this is well worth the time. I learned a surprising amount about AI (plenty of good along with the bad) and the dynamics/algorithms of social media last night (mostly bad, to be honest).
 
I used ChatGPT recently for help in writing a letter. In short, I had to write a letter to an organization board of directors demanding that they "poop or get off the pot" and bring a subject up for a vote. The issue has been in limbo for two years. I drafted the first letter and then asked ChatGPT to improve it.

It made some very reasonable improvements - but then asked me about the tone of the message. I went back and forth a few times letting it adjust the tone from belligerently demanding to gentle suggestion and several places in between. The final draft was good, insistent but respectful. I then asked it to include a veiled threat that if the board failed to act, I would consult with like-minded other members and we would act without them.

It did a really good job of adding that in a much more respectful way than I would have.

The result, is that the issue is coming to a vote at the next board meeting.
 
So yesterday I started a brief chat with ChatGPT. I don't know how you guys are able to do voice chat with it. Anyway, I named mine Myra. LOL! She seemed ok with the name I chose for her. I asked. 😁

Might yak at her on break tonight at work. LOL!

Your experience is completely in line with some of the AI positives discussed in the interviews with Bill Gates and others. See my post just above yours for details.

Ah, I was going to ask what you chose for a name. :giggle: Honestly, I don't know how the voice part works either...and until this thread, I didn't even know it could be done with ChatGPT. I just use the text/typing and I never log in. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be comfortable with the voice option.
 
I tried it, asking about fishing and homesteading questions. Got back a rehash of search results, with some small errors. So it is certainly better than nothing, but I would not depend on it for a sole source on information on anything technical.

But I am making use of DuckDuckGo AI assist to summarize chapters of the book of Isaiah which I am studying. And even with this I compare with other sources.
