Yeah, perfectly plausible in my mind.

I think these AIs are actually quite good at human connection, human emotion.

A ton of text on the internet is about humans and connection and love and so on.

So I think they have a very good understanding in some sense of how people speak to each other about this.

They're very capable of creating a lot of that kind of text.

There's a lot of sci-fi from the 50s and 60s that imagined AIs in a very different way.

They are calculating cold, Vulcan-like machines.

That's not what we're getting today.

We're getting pretty emotional AIs that actually are very competent and capable of generating

you know, plausible sounding text with respect to all of these topics.

Yeah.

I think right now, at least today, they are not sort of, it's not correct to really think of them as goal-seeking agents that want to do something.

They have no long-term memory or anything.

It's literally, a good approximation of it is you get a thousand words and you're trying to predict a thousand at first, and then you continue feeding it in.

And you are free to prompt it in whatever way you want.

So in text, so you say, okay, you are a psychologist and you are very good and you love humans.

And here's a conversation between you and another human.

Human colon something.

You something.

And then it just continues the pattern.
