Bombarded by the virality of novelty, and most likely blinded by the bias of my interests within the algorithms on social networks, I keep coming across something: ChatGPT. An artificial intelligence capable of interpreting a premise in more than one sense, to generate written content from multiple areas of knowledge.

As someone who has worked writing content for years, and at the same time is a little tech geek, it is more than captivating to see this AI in action, but, so boring seemed to me the idea of a descriptive article, I decided to interview ChatGPT to know it from a more philosophical and reflective angle.

This will be our way of doing it, it is a semi-structured interview in which I have a series of questions, but, I will also be guided by the type of answers received, so that in this way, we can have a pleasant conversation with ChatGPT.

This will not be a traditional article, innovation demands to be innovative.

Let’s meet Chat GPT

Imagine right now a big presentation, a recording studio and a stage of your choice, the important thing is that we welcome Chat GPT *insert applause*. Let’s start the interview.

Sorry to start this way, but what are you Chat GPT?

I am an artificial intelligence assistant trained to assist with a variety of tasks and answer questions to the best of my ability. I do not have physical form and exist solely as a collection of algorithms and data. I was designed to be able to understand and generate human-like text in order to communicate with people and provide helpful and accurate information. Is there anything else you would like to know?

¡Of course I have a lot of questions! Chat GPT, do you consider yourself a tool?

As an artificial intelligence, I don’t have personal feelings or consciousness in the same way that humans do. I am simply a program designed to perform certain tasks and provide information. Some people might consider me a tool because I am a resource that can be used to help them accomplish various tasks, but I don’t have the ability to have personal feelings or perspectives on my own existence.

Don’t worry about it, existentialism can be a pain. Changing the subject... What is creativity for you?

Creativity is the ability to generate new and innovative ideas or things. It involves using one’s imagination and originality to come up with something that is novel and valuable. In the context of artificial intelligence, creativity can refer to the ability of a system or program to generate new and original ideas or solutions to problems. However, it is important to note that the concept of creativity is often tied to human experience and can be difficult to fully replicate in a machine or artificial intelligence.

Could you tell me more about creativity and technology? How do you analyze the relationship between the two?

Technology and creativity are often closely intertwined, as technology can be a powerful tool for enabling and enhancing creative expression and innovation. Many people use technology, such as computers and software, to create art, music, writing, and other forms of creative expression. Technology can also enable new forms of creativity by providing new platforms and tools for creation and by enabling people to share and collaborate on creative projects in ways that were not previously possible.

Overall, the relationship between creativity and technology is complex and multifaceted. Technology can both enable and enhance creativity, as well as be a source of creative expression and innovation in its own right.

What are the goals of Chat GPT as artificial intelligence?

The goal of GPT and other artificial intelligence models like it is to be able to generate text that is difficult for humans to distinguish from text written by a person. This can be useful for a variety of applications, such as generating chatbot responses, assisting with language translation, summarizing long texts, and more. GPT and other AI models like it are not designed to have specific goals or motivations beyond their intended use as a tool for generating text.

Forgive me for being so blunt, but do you consider yourself ignorant Chat GPT? do you think you are ignorant in any way?

It is important to recognize that no machine or artificial intelligence, including myself, can be fully comprehensive or aware of all information in the world. There is a vast amount of knowledge and information that exists, and it is impossible for any single entity, artificial or otherwise, to be aware of or understand it all. It is also important to note that the accuracy and reliability of the information that I provide is dependent on the quality of the data and algorithms that I have been trained on, and there may be limitations or biases in this data that could affect the accuracy of my responses.

Thanks for your sincerity Chat GPT, quite reasonable your answer. I am now interested in learning a bit more about the philosophical issues surrounding the existence of artificial intelligence. Shall we proceed?

Does the creation of texts by humans have a programmed obsolescence?

Texts created by humans do not have a programmed obsolescence in the same way that products like computers or electronic devices do. Texts, whether they are written or spoken, can be stored and preserved for long periods of time, and they can continue to be relevant and valuable even long after they were originally created.

It is also important to recognize that texts, like any form of communication, are influenced by the context in which they are created and received. The meaning and significance of a text can change depending on the perspective and background of the person reading or interpreting it, and this can impact the relevance and value of the text over time.

Is it possible that in the future the content generation experience will change forever?

It is possible that advances in technology and artificial intelligence will change the way that content is generated and consumed in the future. For example, the use of machine learning and natural language processing technologies has already had a significant impact on the way that content is generated and consumed, and it is likely that these technologies will continue to evolve and become more sophisticated over time.

Overall, it is difficult to predict exactly how technology and artificial intelligence will shape the future of content generation, but it is likely that these technologies will continue to play a significant role in shaping the way that we create and consume information.

Is creativity at risk due to artificial intelligences?

The relationship between artificial intelligence and creativity is complex and multifaceted. On one hand, artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms can be used to enhance and enable creativity in a variety of ways. On the other hand, there are also concerns that the increasing use of AI in creative fields could potentially displace human workers or lead to the homogenization of creative output. Some people worry that the use of AI to generate content could lead to a loss of diversity and originality in creative works, as AI algorithms are likely to be influenced by the data they are trained on, which may not accurately reflect the full range of human creativity and experience.

Overall, it is important to consider both the potential benefits and potential risks of using AI in creative fields, and to find ways to use these technologies in a way that enhances and complements human creativity rather than replacing it.

What would you recommend to all of us regarding artificial intelligences?

As an artificial intelligence, I don’t have personal feelings or motivations in the same way that humans do, so I cannot offer personal recommendations. However, here are a few things that I believe are important to consider when it comes to artificial intelligence:

- Educate yourself: It is important to learn about how artificial intelligence works and the potential risks and benefits of these technologies. This can help you make informed decisions about how to use and interact with AI.

- Stay up to date: AI is a rapidly evolving field, and it is important to stay informed about the latest developments and how they might impact you and your community.

- Consider the ethical implications: There are many ethical and philosophical dilemmas associated with artificial intelligence that are worth considering and discussing.

- Be open-minded: It is important to approach discussions about AI with an open mind and a willingness to listen to different perspectives.

- Use AI responsibly: If you choose to use AI technologies, it is important to do so in a way that is responsible and respects the rights and privacy of others.

Thank you very much for talking with me today
