I was approached by a company this week that has trained a large language model on all of the blog posts I have written here at AVC. There are 9059 of them for those that are counting. They wanted to offer me a chat bot called “ask Fred.”
I told them no thanks.
Let me explain.
But an AI is not me. When you ask me something, you get my brain on the problem.
I have put a lot of what is in my brain onto the page here at AVC. But I have not put all of it.
I also don’t think an AI has my humanity, my ego, my empathy, my love, or my hate.
Maybe someday that will change. But we are not there yet. I think we are a long way from that.
So if you want to ask Fred something, you will still have to approach me.
