If I see another AI generated action figure in a blister pack...
While I’d love to dive into learning Python, knowing how versatile it is, I just can’t find the motivation. And that’s mostly because of ChatGPT. I already know enough about programming, and I’ve gotten pretty good at writing structured prompts that ChatGPT can interpret. In a few moments, it’ll whip up almost any script I need. It's rarely perfect on the first try, but after a couple of follow-up prompts, it usually delivers exactly what I'm looking for.
Life and its meaning can’t be reduced to a simple statement, or to a list of names, just as human thought and feeling can’t be reduced to something articulated by what are ultimately ones and zeros. If you find yourself asking AI about the meaning of life, it isn’t the answer that’s wrong. It’s the question. And at this particular juncture in history, it seems worth wondering what it is about the current moment that has us seeking answers from a benevolent, omniscient digital God—that, it turns out, may be neither of those things.
