Some thoughts on using the new Chat GPT AI bot, portions of this post were generated by an A.I. bot

Thank you for that post. I have been playing around with it for a couple of weeks now. And let me say: Yes it is astonishing what can be done using algos nowadays. However it is important that one keeps thinking critically about the text something like that spits out. Reading your post and I also found that in my testing I have noticed a bias towards people with disability needing information presented in more easy to understand language. Especially when asked about blindness I find this troubleing.

What happens there is that ChatGPT only does language processing. It does now "know" what it is talking about. So it reproduces potentially harmful stereotypes, discrimination and biases. The company behind ChatGPT is very open and up front with that.

Bottom line: It is a great tool but at the same time it is just a tool. Using it responsibleis very important. Also training it and refining it with certain advocacy in mind is a must.
You can not unknow that something like this is reality now. So let's see what Google does next. They have to be more active in this field. And Apple... Well... I don't see Siri even holding a candle to the other voice assistants today... So let's say there is a lot that has to happen with her.

I've been playing around with this as well. interesting AI modelling. It's essentially a language prediction engine that is very good at answering complex questions like:
Would screen readers be more efficient and responsive if they were coded in Assembly?
what benefits could AI bring to screen readers?

It'll be interesting to see where this tech goes in the future.

Wow. I'm really glad this is accessible. Can't wait to try it out.

I saw something on the news about this. Thanks for sharing, Orlando.

I have also been experimenting with this for several weeks now and am very impressed.

Yes, like any tool, it has its pros and cons and one should know the limitations.

That being said, here are some of the things I've done with it:

- Asked it to write code (which it can do in almost any language). Although there may be some errors in the code, it usually provides a good starting point or template. If the code produces an error when run, you can tell the chat bot what error was produced and it will try and correct the code. So you can use the chat bot iteratively to keep improving.

- I've had it write rhyming lyrics for songs. I tell it the topic and what I'd like the song to contain, and bingo, there it is. Sometimes I will edit a few words to make it better, but I get a very good starting point.

- Same with writing short little stories. Again, using it iteratively, I can have it modify the story to give more details or expound on a topic, add specific characters, vary the ending, etc.

- I once aksed if it understood the point of an obnoxious joke a friend once told me. The chat bot gave a very thoughtful and sensitive response saying that the joke was inappropriate and demeaning to certain classes of people and that such expressions could normalize bad behaviors, etc. I sent the response to my friend in hopes that they would learn something!

- Asked it to explain certain scientific theories, social norms, etc. It does a very good job.

Just wait a few years an see what these chat bots will be able to do!

Yes, again, not perfect, but what technology is perfect? We should never use any tech thoughtlessly.

Just remember to send a message beforehand, saying that you would like to start an AI dungeon adventure.

Just want to add that AI is great, yeah, but it won't replace the human touch. Not now, not ever. At least, I hope so.

Another reason for humans to take to the streets and burn things down.

I use AI writing tools extensively for content management. When applied correctly, these tools can generate high-quality content efficiently. They excel in tasks like drafting articles, generating creative ideas, and composing engaging social media posts. Yes, there are a lot of them (AI writing tools, I mean), all listed on https://writingtools.co.uk/pricing.html. So, it can be hard to find one that really does the job. But through time, you get the gist of them all and know which one is better.

I'm excited to share my experiences using artificial intelligence in writing. I've been using tools like Gemini, Claude, and Chat GTP to generate content and spark my imagination. Maybe some individuals turn to AI because humans couldn't meet their needs, similar to finding support from an animal like a dog. I'm not here to debate that point.

As a blind individual, I find AI models amazing for brainstorming plot lines, logic, and even visual descriptions. My process is organic; I outline basics, frame the scene, and let the AI help create content. Working sequentially through my plot line refines details and keeps everything cohesive.

I believe that artificial intelligence requires human intelligence, and while I understand that we need to have boundaries, sometimes I wish I could just let go and see exactly what the artificial intelligence is capable of doing from a creative standpoint, coming up with content without any input from me. But for now, I'm excited to share my experiences using AI in writing and hear from others who are interested in exploring its potential in fiction writing.

Next, I'll post a prompt I came up with, followed by the artificial intelligence's generated response. This is just the first draft, and I'm sharing it to demonstrate what can be done with AI in creative writing. I believe AI shines brightest in fiction, particularly in world-building, logic, plot lines, ideas, and even minor details like food, technology, places, and names. While I don't use AI for non-fiction elements, I'm eager to explore its potential in fiction writing with others. If you have any ideas or questions about creative writing, feel free to message me! Let's explore the possibilities of AI in fiction writing together. I mean, it would be great to share ideas. I find that the first drafts that you receive are often the best ones, especially if you start a new chat altogether. Not sure if that's something anyone here is interested in, but, yeah. All right, so here is the example below. I did not edit it. I also didn't refine the content. This is literally the first draft of what I received based on the input. If I made changes, the content would've been better, but I only want to show the capabilities for now.
"Write a high-octane action sequence featuring a futuristic secret agent named Maya, who must evade capture by Omicron agents in the city of New Eden. Include:

- A high-speed chase through the city streets
- A sleek, high-tech vehicle. with advanced capabilities
- A resourceful and quick-witted protagonist (Maya)
- A relentless pursuit by Omicron agents
- A narrow escape through a maintenance tunnel
- A dramatic finale with a transport ship extraction

Use vivid descriptions, snappy dialogue, and intense action to bring the scene to life."
The neon-drenched skyline of New Eden blurred past as Maya's quantum-powered Nexus X3 hurtled through the air, weaving between towering skyscrapers that seemed to defy gravity themselves. Holographic advertisements flashed by, their vibrant colors reflecting off the sleek, chrome surface of her vehicle.

"Maya, you've got three Omicron pursuit crafts closing in fast," the AI assistant's voice crackled through her neural implant. "Suggest immediate evasive action."

Maya gritted her teeth, her hands tightening on the haptic controls. "I see them. Time to show these corpo goons what this baby can do."

She yanked the controls hard, sending the Nexus into a tight barrel roll between two mag-lev trains. The pursing vehicles split up, two following her path while the third peeled off to cut her off.

"You can't run forever, Agent Maya," a gruff voice came through on an open channel. "Hand over the prototype, and we might let you walk away from this."

Maya let out a mirthless laugh. "Sorry boys, but this little gadget's staying with me. Why don't you go back to your bosses and tell them to play nice for once?"

She dove sharply, plunging towards the crowded lower levels of the city. Street-level vendors and pedestrians scattered as her car skimmed just meters above the ground, anti-grav repulsors kicking up a cloud of debris.

"Warning: Collision imminent," the AI chimed.

"Not if I can help it," Maya muttered, activating the Nexus's phase shift technology. For a brief moment, the car became intangible, passing harmlessly through a massive holo-billboard.

One of the pursuit crafts wasn't so lucky, clipping the edge of the billboard and spiraling out of control. "That's one down," Maya grinned.

She pulled up hard, rocketing back towards the upper levels. The cityscape opened up before her – a dizzying array of interconnected sky-bridges, floating gardens, and quantum-stabilized structures that seemed to defy physics.

"Maya, we've got a problem," her handler's voice cut in. "Omicron's deployed their new EMP drones. One hit from those, and you'll drop like a stone."

"Great, just what I needed," Maya groaned. "Any good news?"

"Actually, yes. There's a maintenance tunnel coming up on your right. It'll take you straight to the extraction point. But it's a tight fit – you'll need split-second timing."

Maya spotted the tunnel – a narrow opening barely wider than her car. "Split-second timing is my specialty," she quipped, even as her heart raced.

She gunned the engines, pushing the Nexus to its limits. The pursuing crafts were closing in, energy weapons charging with an ominous whine.

"You're out of room, Agent," the Omicron leader taunted. "Surrender now, or we'll be scraping you off the pavement."

Maya's eyes narrowed. "How about option C?"

At the last possible second, she activated the car's emergency air brakes. The Nexus came to a near-instantaneous stop, the pursing crafts overshooting her position. In the same motion, she twisted the controls, sending her car into a sideways slide straight into the maintenance tunnel.

Sparks flew as the Nexus scraped against the tunnel walls, alarms blaring in Maya's ears. But she held steady, guiding the vehicle through the claustrophobic passage with nerves of steel.

"Lost visual on the target," she heard one of the Omicron agents report frantically. "Where did she-"

The rest of the transmission cut off as Maya emerged on the other side, the extraction point just ahead. A sleek, unmarked transport ship was waiting, its cargo bay doors already open.

"Cutting it a bit close, weren't you?" her handler's relieved voice came through as the Nexus settled into the ship's hold.

Maya let out a long breath, feeling the adrenaline begin to ebb. "You know me, boss. I like to make an entrance."

As the transport lifted off, leaving the glittering expanse of New Eden behind, Maya allowed herself a small smile. The prototype was safe, and she'd given Omicron another headache. All in all, not a bad day's work in the life of a futuristic secret agent.
