This site follows my time learning about what people are calling “artificial intelligence.” I’m still figuring out what that really means. Most of what I know comes from reading, listening, and trying things out. Along the way, I’ve got my own thoughts.
I probably get a lot of things wrong, but this page gathers my notes together so they’re easier to find. Everything is grouped into simple tagged bundles. It’s just a record of investigation in progress, kept here as I continue to understand a little more about how it all works.
About The Tech
📝︎ It's Not Art
Are images generated by artificial intelligence art? Should they be treated as such? I try my best to explain my rather complicated position without spraining a paradigm.
LLMs can code, though there's clearly a limit. I decided to experiment a bit, and was surprised to get decent results making this very site. Would it work for more complicated things? Not for me, but still... fascinating!
I don't believe LLMs are sentient, but what are they? When people start to believe they're conscious, what is really happening, and why?
About Social Implications

People obviously do sexualize LLMs by prompting them into cute, lovable characters. They even use them to write customized erotica. Others convince themselves they're in love! What's up with that?
📝︎ Notes From Nobody

LLMs can code, sure, but what about holding conversations? Is it even a good idea to chat with LLMs? If nobody wrote it, why read it?
📝︎ Assumptions Initially Made

When it comes to robots, we definitely reacted differently to the prospect IRL than we ever did in our fiction.
📝︎ The Slim Pickens Controversy

Sometimes I reuse a conversation topic with these critters. Why so many of my chatbots have opinions about Stanley Kubrick, and what they have to say.
