Note that I am not a gifted artist! While I drew the simpler drawings myself, the more impressive art is the work of ChatGPT, typically with a lot of combining and corrections in Photoshop to get the image I want.
So much effort goes into trying to find out if AI is “really” “intelligent” or not. But how long before the tables are turned?! Can we look forward to reverse Turing tests?
Artificial Intelligence is not a technology. It’s a socio-technical term that we use whenever computers can do something that only humans could do before—andwe might never admit that computers are “intelligent”—because we keep redefining what intelligence means so that it can only apply to us…
