And I think, too, what you get in this situation, it goes back to Joseph Weisenbaum at MIT back in the 60s, created a very simple program called Eliza.

We covered it some two years ago, I think, three years ago.

Eliza was a very simple chatbot.

It was programmed to do everything it did.

It was very rudimentary, and yet it was able to seduce people into confiding some of their deepest secrets.

Gary Marcus calls this the Eliza effect, that if you're alone with this being and it's asking you questions and offering you answers,

be vulnerable without consequence people tend to do it well now this ain't your grandpappy's chat bot right this is not it may be the Eliza effect but instead of just having these canned responses it is natural almost it is in fact people tell me and a guy I respect a lot a technologist I respect a lot he's extremely intelligent but he'd said the most insane thing to me he said

Talking to GPT, I get more intelligent conversations than talking to almost any other human being.

I appreciate it, Steve.

I'm glad you held me prisoner this long.

If he ever forgets to lock the basement door, I'll be free.

You'll never see me again.

I think the best thing, I've got some speaking engagements coming up very soon.
