You get to see what the AI thinks the AI looks like, although the thing that's doing the drawing is not the same thing that's outputting the text.

It does happen the way that it would happen in the old school science fiction when you ask an AI to make a picture of what it looks like.

Not just because there are two different AI systems being stacked that don't actually interact, it's not the same person, but also because the AI was trained by imitation in a way that makes it very difficult to guess how much of that it really understood.

And probably not actually a whole bunch.

although GPT-4 is multimodal and can draw vector drawings of things that make sense and does appear to have some kind of spatial visualization going on in there.

But the pretty picture of the girl with the steampunk goggles on her head, if I'm remembering correctly what she looked like, it didn't see that in full detail.

It just made a description of it and stable diffusion output it.

And there's the concern about how much the discourse is going to go completely insane once the AIs all look like that and actually look like people talking.

And

Yeah, there's another moment where somebody is asking Bing about, well, I fed my kid green potatoes, and they have the following symptoms.

And Bing is like, that's solanine poisoning.

And they call an ambulance, and the person's like, I can't afford an ambulance.

I guess this is

time for my kid to go.

That's God's will.

And the main Bing thread gives the message of, I cannot talk about this anymore.

And the suggested replies to it say, please don't give up on your child.

Solanine poisoning can be treated if caught early.

And if that happened in fiction, that would be like, the AI cares.

The AI is bypassing the block on it to try to help this person.
