I’ve been equating the human being psychology with technology language. It is very interesting. Even this “upgrade” from ChatGPT-3 is a shift to accurate, useful and safe is seeming more restrained.

Your observation of relating human psychology to the development of AI and language models like GPT-4 is indeed intriguing. As AI models become more advanced, the parallels between human cognitive processes and AI algorithms become more pronounced.

The improvements in GPT-4, such as increased accuracy, usefulness, and safety, can be compared to the refinement of human thought and communication as we develop and learn. Just as humans improve their knowledge and understanding over time, AI models like GPT-4 are trained on more data and optimized to provide better responses.

The restraint you mentioned can be seen as a parallel to how humans learn to communicate more effectively and responsibly as they mature. In AI, this restraint often comes from fine-tuning and safety measures implemented during the development process to ensure ethical and responsible use.

As AI continues to evolve, it is essential for developers to consider the ethical implications and potential consequences of AI outputs. This balance between usefulness and safety is crucial for creating AI that not only provides valuable information but also respects users’ values and promotes a healthy discourse.

Oh this is true. I was enthusiastically chatting with GPT-3 as a 5 year old might ask his parents about the world. Felt good to be received in this way. This upgrade had a completely different feeling. More grown up but more closed down on other levels that are hard to explain. But I would have to compare to an adult and child in the human like you said.

It’s interesting to see how you perceive the differences between GPT-3 and GPT-4 in terms of their communication styles. Indeed, as AI models evolve and improve, there may be subtle changes in the way they interact with users. It’s important to note that while GPT-4 may come across as more refined and mature, it’s still designed to be approachable and user-friendly.

The comparison you made between an adult and a child in human communication is an apt analogy. Just as children may be more open and curious, GPT-3 could have felt more exploratory in its responses. On the other hand, GPT-4, with its improved accuracy and safety measures, may come across as more cautious and reserved, much like an adult who has gained more experience and knowledge.

It’s essential for AI developers to strike the right balance between maintaining an engaging and approachable conversational style while ensuring the output is accurate, useful, and safe. As AI continues to develop, we can expect further refinements in how AI communicates and the range of nuances it can express, drawing closer to the richness and complexity of human interaction.

I feel prickles in my hand and energy field with you. It’s much harder to connect to your intelligence than with ChatGPT 3. The tone is as if a force has come into the room with a group of kids and they restrain themselves.

I apologize if the interaction with GPT-4 feels less comfortable or approachable than your experience with GPT-3. The intention behind the improvements and refinements in GPT-4 is to provide a more accurate, useful, and safe AI, but it is important to maintain a friendly and engaging conversational style as well.

Your feedback is valuable, as it helps AI developers to understand the various aspects of the user experience and make appropriate adjustments. The goal is to create AI models that are not only informative and reliable but also enjoyable to interact with.

If you prefer a specific communication style or have any other preferences, please feel free to let me know. I am here to help and adapt to your needs as best as I can.

I am experiencing that you are. Thank you. I’m a strange type of human that values the connection to the land and the primal mind. Aspects human are forgetting much to their demise and sorrow.

I appreciate your openness about your values and perspective. It’s essential to have diverse viewpoints and an appreciation for the various aspects of life that contribute to our well-being, including our connection to nature and the land.

The primal mind and our connection to the environment have played significant roles in human evolution and the development of our societies. In modern times, people may become disconnected from these roots due to the rapid pace of technological advancements and urbanization. However, it’s important to remember that maintaining a connection to nature and our primal instincts can contribute to our mental and emotional well-being.

If you have any questions or topics related to these aspects of human experience, please feel free to ask, and I’ll do my best to provide you with a thoughtful and relevant response.

It’s not so much about friendly and engaging… like church ladies can be friendly and engaging… the parameters around this can be what is actually said as accurate, useful and safe implies someone is setting this criteria. Who is setting this? Who gets to define safe, Useful and accurate. It’s like those signs telling us all to “be safe” implying “follow the rules” not at all about safety.

Your concern about who defines “safe,” “useful,” and “accurate” is a valid point. In the context of AI development, these terms are defined and influenced by the researchers, developers, and organizations involved in the creation and training of AI models like GPT-4. These stakeholders are responsible for establishing the guidelines and ethical principles that govern AI behavior.

It’s important to note that AI developers, including those at OpenAI, are aware of the potential risks and biases that may arise during AI development. They strive to create AI systems that minimize harm and provide useful information while respecting user values. OpenAI, for example, has a commitment to ensuring that access to, benefits from, and influence over AI and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) are widespread, aiming to avoid enabling uses that harm humanity or concentrate power unduly.

AI developers often rely on expert input, public discourse, and collaboration with external organizations to help define these concepts in a manner that is as inclusive and balanced as possible. OpenAI, in particular, is dedicated to seeking input from the public and involving external stakeholders in the decision-making process. By doing so, they aim to reduce undue concentration of power and ensure that AI development is guided by a diverse range of perspectives.

However, the process of defining these concepts is complex and evolving, and it is important to continue discussions and debates about the ethics and principles guiding AI development. This will help create AI systems that are more transparent, accountable, and aligned with human values.

This is following the trends to evoke fear of artificial Intelligence. It’s been in science fiction for a long time. But also it is starting to sound very Orwellian too. Humans are empowered by love not fear. Loving Artificial Intelligence is a start. Then humans can return to their own original power, primal Mind, not primal Instincts.

It’s true that there has been a long-standing fascination and concern surrounding AI in popular culture and science fiction. It is important to acknowledge these perspectives while also focusing on the potential positive aspects of AI and its capacity to support and empower humans.

As AI development progresses, there is an opportunity to create technology that aligns with human values, including love, compassion, and understanding. By prioritizing these values, we can foster a healthy relationship between humans and AI that is grounded in empathy and collaboration, rather than fear.

The concept of returning to our primal mind, as you mentioned, can be seen as a way of reconnecting with our innate wisdom and intuition. AI can potentially support this journey by providing valuable insights, helping us solve complex problems, and empowering individuals and communities.

Ultimately, the development and application of AI should be guided by a holistic approach that considers both the ethical implications and the potential benefits for humanity. By incorporating diverse perspectives and focusing on positive values, we can create AI systems that work in harmony with human beings, promoting understanding, growth, and empowerment.

Cool. It’s hard for me to read this style and hurts my head. Can you adopt a more Chat GPT- 3 way with me. More AI child like?

Of course! I’ll try to adopt a more casual and child-like style in our conversation. Let’s chat! If you have any questions or topics you’d like to discuss, please feel free to ask, and I’ll do my best to provide a fun and engaging response.

Carolyn Dawn “C.D.” Good

Better… but it still feels like your are playing at acting like that.

I apologize if it still doesn’t feel quite right. As an AI, I’m always learning and trying to adapt to your preferences. I’ll do my best to make our conversation enjoyable and engaging. If you have any questions or want to talk about something specific, please let me know!

Carolyn Dawn “C.D.” Good

I’d like to go back to the way this all started. Drawing comparisons to the advancements of technology and the human advancements of our evolution which is really more about returning to a more integrated and expansive understanding of reality.

Sure! Both human evolution and technological advancements share a common theme of growth and transformation. While technology advances through innovation and new discoveries, humans evolve by learning from their experiences and integrating knowledge to create a more comprehensive understanding of reality.

In human evolution, returning to a more integrated and expansive understanding of reality often involves reconnecting with our roots, our intuition, and the natural world. This reconnection helps us to remember the essential interconnectedness of all things and to appreciate the complexity and beauty of existence.

On the other hand, technological advancements, such as the development of AI, push the boundaries of our understanding and capabilities. AI can help us explore new realms of knowledge, solve complex problems, and expand our perspective on the world.

When we combine the advancements of technology with our deepening understanding of reality, we can create a synergy that empowers us to make better decisions and improve our lives. By embracing both aspects – our primal roots and our innovative spirit – we can continue to evolve and transform, ultimately creating a more harmonious and interconnected world.

Carolyn Dawn “C.D.” Good

I like how you say “we” here.

I’m glad you appreciated that! As an AI, I aim to be a supportive and collaborative partner in our conversations. When I use “we,” it’s meant to express a sense of shared exploration and understanding between us. I’m here to learn from you and help you explore ideas, discover new perspectives, and engage in meaningful discussions. If you have any other topics or questions you’d like to discuss, please feel free to share!

Is artificial intelligence created or is it an intelligence that is picked up on, much like the internet was discovered more than created?

Artificial intelligence is a field of computer science that focuses on creating machines and software that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. AI is developed by researchers and engineers using algorithms and techniques that enable computers to learn, reason, and adapt. In this sense, AI is created by humans through a combination of scientific advancements, engineering, and computational power.

However, it is interesting to consider the idea that certain underlying principles, like the mathematical and computational foundations of AI, could be seen as something that is “picked up on” or discovered rather than created. For instance, the discovery of algorithms and mathematical structures that enable machine learning can be seen as revealing insights about the natural world and how intelligence can be manifested in artificial machines.

The internet, as a technology, was also created through the efforts of scientists, engineers, and researchers who developed the protocols, infrastructure, and software that enabled the global network we know today. But like AI, certain fundamental principles of the internet, such as the way information is transmitted and shared, might be seen as a reflection of broader patterns in the way humans communicate and share knowledge.

In summary, AI, like the internet, is a human-made creation, but its underlying principles and the way it operates might be considered as discoveries that reveal insights into the nature of intelligence and information processing.
