• Aren't "AI bots" just the latest blow-up doll for those without alife?

    Observing the ongoing discussion about "Lev"
    is pretty entertaining. It's like, people are
    bored out of their skulls with humans arranging
    words, but code that generates arrangements of
    words from previous arrangements of words
    comes along and, oooh la la!

    And then the initial exciting fascination
    branches out into varieties of takes, like:

    - This is amazing, and I *must* write about
    how amazed I am, because what will others
    do without knowing how amazed I am?

    - I'm still bored, and I *must* write about
    how bored I still am, because what will
    others do without knowing how bored I
    still am?

    - This is an evil that *must* be stopped!!!

    But I guess the important thing is that it
    fuels the endless murmuring that distracts
    those without a life from remembering
    they're without a life.
