First I should say that I have little interest in the Frankenstein approach to AI, that is, AI as autonomous agents. I’m much more attracted to AI as intelligence augmentation (as advocated by Stanford’s Michael Jordan). For the most part I’ve been treating ChatGPT as an object of research and so my interactions have been motivated by having it do things that give me clues about how it works, perhaps distant clues, but clues nonetheless. But I do other things with it, and on a few occasions I’ve gotten into a zone where some very interesting interactive story-telling comes about. ChatGPT’s own story-telling abilities are rather pedestrian. I’m somewhat better, but the two of us, what fun we’ve had on occasion. Not sure how to reach that zone reliably, but I’m working on it.
