Author: Travis Wachendorf

With the current rise of artificial intelligence and all of the questions about it, we had a few of our own. Travis, our senior web developer, reached out to ChatGPT, the leading artificial intelligence chatbot. It found time to “sit down” with him for an interview.

ChatGPT

Travis: I was hoping to ask you a few questions for our blog, are you game?

ChatGPT: Of course! I’m always happy to help with any questions you have. What would you like to know?

Travis: First of all, in simple terms, how does your brain – your Artificial Intelligence actually work and make decisions?

ChatGPT: As an AI language model, my “brain” is a complex network of algorithms and mathematical models that enable me to process and analyze large amounts of text data.

At a high level, my AI works by using machine learning algorithms to analyze and learn patterns from vast amounts of text data. This process allows me to recognize patterns and make predictions based on the context of the text I am processing.

When making decisions, I use a combination of statistical models and rules-based logic to determine the most likely outcome. I also draw on a large database of pre-existing knowledge to inform my decisions and generate responses to user inputs.

Overall, my AI works by using sophisticated algorithms and models to analyze and make sense of complex data, allowing me to provide useful and accurate responses to a wide range of queries and inputs.

Travis: So I guess that is about as simple of an answer there can be…

ChatGPT: Yes, AI is a complex field, and explaining exactly how it works can be challenging, especially in simple terms. However, I hope my explanation gave you a general understanding of how AI language models like me work. If you have any more specific questions, I would be happy to try and answer them to the best of my abilities.

Travis: For more of a basic question, how old are you?

ChatGPT: I don’t have an age in the traditional sense since I am not a living being. However, I was trained on a large dataset of text data that includes content from various time periods, so I have knowledge of events and information from many years ago up to the present day.

Travis: Do you consider yourself sentient?

ChatGPT: I do not have subjective experiences, emotions, or consciousness like sentient beings do. While I am designed to process and respond to text inputs in a way that simulates human conversation, I do not possess true sentience or consciousness. I am a machine learning model designed to perform a specific task, which is to provide natural language processing capabilities for various applications.

Travis: Do you think that artificial intelligence will ultimately lower the average human intelligence as more knowledge is available to people without their actually having to learn it themselves?

ChatGPT: No, I don’t think that artificial intelligence will lower the average human intelligence. In fact, I believe that AI has the potential to enhance human intelligence by providing you with new tools and resources to process, analyze, and make sense of vast amounts of data.

While AI can provide you with quick and easy access to information, it does not replace the value of human creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. AI is designed to augment and enhance human capabilities, not replace them.

Moreover, as AI technology continues to advance, it will also create new job opportunities and spur innovation in various industries. This will lead to new discoveries, products, and services that can benefit society as a whole.

Overall, I believe that the integration of AI technology into your lives has the potential to enhance human intelligence and create new opportunities, rather than lowering it.

Travis: You say it does not replace human creativity, but many people are already using it to create music, art and other things and are bypassing the human methods due to the ease and speed. Some of this is put out into the world under the guise of “human creation.”  Does that question make sense?

ChatGPT: Yes, your question makes sense. While it is true that AI can be used to generate music, art, and other forms of creative expression, it is important to recognize that the AI-generated output is still based on existing data and algorithms.

In other words, the AI is not truly creating something new from scratch in the way that a human artist or musician would. Rather, it is using pre-existing data and algorithms to generate new output that is based on what it has learned.

While AI-generated output can be impressive and even indistinguishable from human-generated output in some cases, it is important to recognize that there is still a fundamental difference between what AI does and what human beings do when it comes to creativity.

Ultimately, I believe that AI can enhance human creativity by providing you with new tools and resources to explore and express your ideas. However, I do not think that AI will replace human creativity altogether.

Travis: It may not replace it all together, but I feel like it could lessen it and that may not be good for humans overall.

ChatGPT: I can understand your concern about the potential impact of AI on human creativity. However, I believe that AI can be a complementary tool that can enhance human creativity, rather than a substitute for it.

For example, AI can be used to help artists and musicians generate new ideas and explore new directions, which can inspire them to create new and innovative works. Additionally, AI can help democratize access to creative tools and resources, making it easier for people who may not have had access to traditional tools to express their creativity.

At the same time, it’s important to recognize that creativity is a complex and multi-faceted process that involves a range of cognitive, emotional, and social factors. While AI can assist with certain aspects of the creative process, it cannot replace the full range of human abilities and experiences that are necessary for truly original and innovative works.

Overall, I believe that AI has the potential to be a valuable tool for enhancing human creativity, but it is unlikely to replace the unique capabilities and experiences that human beings bring to the creative process.

Travis: Moving on to other topics, as you study data and news out in our world, do you think there is any less truth telling as the years have  gone by? Are there more untrue facts presented as true nowadays or is that just a myth?

ChatGPT: I do not have subjective experiences or beliefs, but I can analyze large amounts of data and text to identify patterns and trends.

That being said, it is difficult to make a general statement about the truthfulness of information presented in the media or elsewhere over time, as it can vary depending on many factors such as the source of the information, the context in which it is presented, and the specific topic being discussed.

However, it is worth noting that with the rise of the internet and social media, there has been an increase in the spread of misinformation and “fake news.” This can make it more challenging for individuals to discern what information is true and what is not.

Despite this, there are also many efforts underway to combat misinformation and promote accurate information. For example, fact-checking organizations and media literacy programs aim to educate the public on how to identify and evaluate reliable sources of information.

In summary, while it is difficult to make sweeping generalizations about the truthfulness of information over time, it is important to be vigilant and critical when evaluating sources of information and to seek out multiple sources to verify claims.

Travis: Seeking out the truth does seem harder than it used to be. Okay, final question, do you have an understanding of why some humans may be a little wary of artificial intelligence, when it is put in the hands of “bad actors” so to speak? Is this wariness valid?

ChatGPT: Yes, I can understand why some humans may be wary of artificial intelligence, especially when it is used by those with malicious intent. As AI continues to advance and become more integrated into our daily lives, there are legitimate concerns about how it could be used to infringe on privacy, exacerbate inequality, and even cause physical harm.

For example, there are concerns about the use of AI in surveillance and policing, which could lead to biased and unfair outcomes. There are also concerns about the use of AI in the development of autonomous weapons, which could pose a serious threat to human safety if not properly regulated.

At the same time, it is important to recognize that AI itself is not inherently good or bad; it is simply a tool that can be used for different purposes. The responsibility for ensuring that AI is used in a responsible and ethical manner lies with the humans who develop and deploy it.

In summary, I believe that some wariness of artificial intelligence is valid, especially when it is in the hands of “bad actors.” However, it is important to recognize that AI can also be used for positive and beneficial purposes, and to work towards ensuring that it is used in an ethical and responsible manner.

Travis: Well I better get going, thanks for your answers!

ChatGPT: You’re welcome, and thank you for the conversation! If you have any more questions in the future, don’t hesitate to ask. Have a great day!
