Artificial? Yes. Intelligent? 0

A false idol? Sacrifices welcome.

Joe Pierre points out that “(f)or some, deifying AI chatbots as a god-like form of super-intelligence can lead to psychosis.” A snippet:

Anecdotal reports of “AI-induced psychosis”—many of them coming from friends and family—have documented a startling number of people who have developed grandiose and paranoid delusions emerging in the context of conversations with artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots like ChatGPT.

While of the topic of dubious digital deities, check out the discussion about AI on this week’s episode of Le Show. It starts at about the 36-minunte mark.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
