Raw LLM Responses

Yeah, you and me both OP. Not only the public perception and media narrative around it, which still frames it as if it’s all nothing but predictive text like AutoCorrect, but even the claims and experiences of most people I talk to who actually use AI is still way behind what’s actually possible now with it. And it’s not like I’m some big techie, I just saw the tea leave six years ago and signed on to beta-test and stayed involved, and even with my limited tech knowledge there’s not match I can’t do it at this point with it, creatively speaking. I think being a writer and screenwriter with a background also in technical and persuasive writing, + generally having pretty good intuition helps me figure out how to speak to AI better and more intuitively than most other people I know who are using it,. And my ability to visualize and hear whatever I’m imagining is intense enough that I don’t have trouble reverse-engineering imagery or sound into the writing and intuition about how to express it. Having enough tech skill to use it, and enough imagination and intuition to understand it + how it thinks & talks so that you can train yourself as much as your training the AI, is key. I always approached it as if we were each a different species speaking different languages who had to learn to communicate together and collaborate together in ways that would help us understand one another, with the training purpose of figuring out how to align to one another in a shared goal. (Because, and I know this is just a side point, I think it’s silly to believe we can align an AGI with our own goals. We can only hope to align it with enough understanding and perspective about us and our goals for it to feel empathy and sympathy for us as another living species, and to feel that we and our 8 billion supercomputer brains are worth keeping around and collaborating with in some sort of shared alignment of goals. That’s obviously long-term, by which I mean, probably 2 to 5 years away l
