In my previous post, I mentioned inquiring about alignment as applied to both artificial intelligence and Dungeons & Dragons. I did a follow up regarding specific sci-fi literature. What follows is the AI’s response. Science fiction literature provides a rich catalog of artificial intelligences that match each D&D alignment:

AI and Alignment
I saw the word “alignment” in a New York Times article dealing with artificial intelligence. I recall my days of playing Dungeons & Dragons, and wondered how we might apply that idea of alignment to AI. So I wrote a prompt asking about this, and popped it into Gemini. What follows is the AI response: Continue reading “AI and Alignment”
“The Autumn Visitor”: AI & Me
Many artists are concerned about the use of AI in the creation of new works. The fear, as I understand it, is that AI scoops up chunks of intellectual property the way the ST:TNG Borg removed planetary chunks, and then regurgitates it in subtly (or not so subtly) plagiarized ways. And so I’m supposed toContinue reading ““The Autumn Visitor”: AI & Me”
I’m Not So Worried…
I’m supposed to be worried about AI and its developing intelligence which will overwhelm us puny humans with its extraordinary abilities. Likewise, we are to fear the Chinese who are outstripping us in so many areas, such as technology and commerce. But so far, we can usually tell it’s AI. And the Chinese, so willingContinue reading “I’m Not So Worried…”
Lost With Translation
I need some help with this one. First of all, this wrong number texter is all over the place. Person, bot, or AI? It’s not really clear. You can see that it doesn’t really follow any kind of logical progression, and seems to be highly reactive, like the old ELIZA program that, if you answeredContinue reading “Lost With Translation”
You Gotta Be AI-Kidding Me!
Frequent readers of this blog recall I like to reproduce text chats with “wrong number callers” for your amusement value. One of my friends commented that many of these correspondents are likely AI. This is probably true of the one I received yesterday. This illustrates my lack of concern for AI taking over the world.Continue reading “You Gotta Be AI-Kidding Me!”
Wrong Number (2)
And this one went on too long. I thought at first that  it might be a real person pretending to be this persona but the answers do seem a bit reactive and formulaic. And at that point I just hit the block button to wait for the next one.
Wrong Number (1)
I’ve written a lot about the wrong number texts—someone sends a message to a friend but has entered the number incorrectly. Oh, no, sorry, but can we be friends? I used to have fun improvising with them, but lately they’ve been taking a darker turn. And so have I. This week I’ve gotten about 12Continue reading “Wrong Number (1)”
And It Continues…
Awhile back I was posting a lot of these “wrong number” texts and my improv’d responses to them. A friend suggested that the origin of those might in fact be AI bots, but I don’t think it makes it less funny or tragic. Take these two; their approach is slightly different but I responded theContinue reading “And It Continues…”
Alien Something!
First, I found this post on Facebook: The description inspired me to create the movie poster for “Bad Milk Blood Robot” because, well, that phrase is just too perfect. I have been using fotor.com but the results have been a bit lame lately. So I decided to use Microsoft Copilot and it came up withContinue reading “Alien Something!”
