AI showed me one sad truth. Presented with a technology filled with infinite possibilities where the only limit is your imagination, I always revert to prompting about llamas. And cats. Llamas and cats. In cyberspace. By Van Gogh.

Zoë Hitzig's piece in the NYTimes really hits home why OpenAI's inevitable, but even more intrusive, shift to deploying ads in ChatGPT shows (a) an exploitation of private data that eclipses even social media platforms; & (b) that there really are no new ideas coming out of AI companies at all.

Text from article in the New York Times by Zoë Hitzig:

For several years, ChatGPT users have generated an archive of human candor that has no precedent, in part because people believed they were talking to something that had no ulterior agenda. Users are interacting with an adaptive, conversational voice to which they have revealed their most private thoughts. People tell chatbots about their medical fears, their relationship problems, their beliefs about God and the afterlife. Advertising built on that archive creates a potential for manipulating users in ways we don’t have the tools to understand, let alone prevent.

If my students are any indication, they are completely over the hype and fully sick of this constant assault from the tech companies. They are hungry for real conversations about important matters with -- get this! -- real people. No one wants to discuss the meaning of life with a bot. Sorry, bros!

I think the greatest gift college professors in the humanities can give to students right now is a seminar room where, for 80 minutes twice a week, nothing that happens to them is a sales pitch for an AI product.
