[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8946393, member: 7023840"] I think you're missing some fundamental ... differences ... with this application of technology. Over and over again, I see two types of reactions- first, people that are genuinely surprised by what is going on. Second, those who are like, "NBD. Guys in my high school used to do this all the time. Besides, did you hear about the BingBot that was trying to get someone to divorce their spouse!" I truly think that the people in the second category are missing the change. It's a lot like if a talking dog walks into a bar. There will be people that will say, "Sure, but can he speak another language? Is he correctly using double negatives? He is able to hold a conversation, but only about dog stuff that his trainer taught him- he doesn't really understand philosophy, or how to bet on a basketball game." That is all true, but it misses the point- [I]it's a talking dog[/I]. I am reminded of when the first iPhone came out, and a lot of people who were addicted to their flipphones and crackberries (not to mention the good people of Palm and Microsoft and RIM) completely missed the point. Except this is [I]much more transformative of a technology[/I]. And just think about the difference in the world in the 15 years since the iPhone's release. Right now, teachers are having conversations about this because the technology already can produce essays better than many high school students. It can produce art that is perfectly useable for magazines. It's generating music. It's generating code. And this is [I]just the beginning[/I]. The tech is improving rapidly. I've seen the difference in just the public-facing aspects in the last year, and I am ... both ecstatic and ... slightly terrified of what we might see in a decade. [/QUOTE]
