But they then sort of begrudgingly said, we're sort of interested because this is the only pure hallucination we've ever encountered because we can't find any basis for hallucination.

There's not even an article that would cause hallucination.

Now, the fact is I regret now that I didn't sue.

I've never sued for defamation, but I almost regret now that I didn't because the solution of ChatGPT was to ghost me.

So if you go on and ask ChatGPT about Jonathan Charlie for years, and I think it still is still the case, but it might have loosened up a little recently.

But for years, I didn't exist.

They just basically ghosted me.

And I write in the book, this sort of captures the inherent dangers of AI in these companies, that if you raise defamation, they then eliminate your existence so that you disappear.

And there's no right to be recognized so they can get away with it.

That is a heck of a lot of power.

And it's largely unchecked.

And we do have to look at things like that.

Yeah, not in the short term.

I don't think in the short term we're going to see that.

The question that you're raising is a good one, is to the degree to which AI and robotics are combined and you have greater sense of interaction, it can give the illusion of sentience.

And sentience has always been the key issue as to whether you have rights.

The reason that human beings are treated differently from other animals is because of sentience, the awareness of who you are, consciousness.

And so this is sort of the Westworld type of theory that eventually they could break through to sentience.

We're a long way from that.

I think that what we have to focus on immediately is what AI is going to do to us as opposed to what we're going to do to AI and prepare ourselves for the elimination of whole job categories.
