Here’s a book description written by a real faker:
As a dragon, I greet each day with a dance at dawn, a ritual that has become an essential part of my routine. I rise from my slumber in the mountains, stretching my wings and flexing my claws as the first rays of sunlight touch the land.
I spread my wings wide and begin my dance, twirling and leaping through the air. The vibrant orange of my scales shimmers in the sunlight, creating an awe-inspiring display of color and movement. My dance is a celebration of life and a tribute to the beauty of the world around me.
As I dance, I feel a connection to the earth and the sky, to the creatures that roam the land, and to the very essence of nature. This daily ritual allows me to reflect on the importance of balance and harmony in the world, and I hope that my dance brings joy and wonder to those who witness it. As the sun climbs higher in the sky, I conclude my dance and return to my resting place, ready to face the day ahead. This simple yet profound ritual serves as a reminder to cherish each moment and to appreciate the beauty of the natural world that surrounds us all.
Now, you might think the writer of that book description did a mediocre job.
You might even think it’s actually pretty good. Or maybe you think some cornball tried to describe a book with the most flowery language he could muster.
If you thought any of that, or even anything else (probably), you’d be wrong.
Because nobody wrote that book description.
Then again, countless people collaborated on the description.
Yeah, I’m beating around the bush. So, I’ll just let you in on the secret. So-called “artificial intelligence” wrote that book description. And I put quotes around “artificial intelligence” to emphasize my point. First off, there’s no such thing as artificial intelligence. And secondly, with a closer look at the words and phrases you can see a human bias.
And it’s a bias against REAL intelligence. Or at least where that REAL intelligence originates.
Notice this sentence: “My dance is a celebration of life and a tribute to the beauty of the world around me.” On the surface, it’s innocent enough. And at least it appears to celebrate life.
But notice the tribute.
The beauty of the world.
Then, the very next sentence mentions “a connection to the earth and the sky and the creatures that roam the land.” And that sort of “connection” to all things natural plays a prominent part. Because after that you see the “importance of balance and harmony IN THE WORLD.”
And finally, the book description ends with the reminder to “cherish each moment and to appreciate the beauty of the natural world that surrounds us all.”
Maybe you think I’m just nit-picking. But if you believe there’s more to life than the “natural world that surrounds us all,” you might wanna re-think that. Because as old-fashioned and archaic as it might sound to you, Satan majors in the subtleties. He doesn’t attack with a dastardly laugh and a devilish pitchfork. He slips in between the cracks of your ability to discern.
And so-called “artificial intelligence” has the potential to be one of his wiliest weapons.
Take that information with a whole container of Redmond salt. Or ignore it altogether if you like. Or, consider it. And look at how the AI bots do stuff. I predict it’ll be subtle and ultimately not beneficial to huMANkind.
