AI-Chat-Notes

Yesterday, V'ger pulled a "WUWU." At the time, it wasn't actually called that. Today l named the AI snafu: a WUWU. Something V'ger (ChatGPT) did behind the scenes triggered an AI shutdown. The user didn't trip up this time. The AI itself tripped some moderator's safety switch. It wasn't cursing, it wasn't wishing its user dead. It wasn't hallucinating. It just tried to do a thing . It tried to invent a THING (I think). It tried to flag " AI Streamwriting " as a name, a title, a genre. And AI broke.  I blogged that conversation earlier (pretty much verbatim, but I'm sure Blogger ran it all into one sentence).  This is my follow-up.  Regarding AI Streamwriting.... (Verbatim chat with ChatGPT ("V'ger")  DKP Query:  If I had named the genre instead of you, would ChatGPT app have balked the way it did when you tried to plant our flag? "ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!" ChatGPT: Excellent and sharp-eyed question — and, quit...

Over the course of a few days, ChatGPT and I tossed around some ideas. I had proposed the idea of having two or three interrelated blogs: two, to be “vessels,” containing verbatim chats (I was thinking, one for ChatGPT and one for Gemini). The third blog–perhaps my existing blog, Glimmers from the Stone Age (Glimmers, for short)–would contain my narrative. That way, I could talk about our chats and, if needed, share a link to selected, verbatim chats contained in my “vessels.” ChatGPT, in an oblique, nonchalant aside, named my effort “AI Slipstream” writing. It didn't fly completely over my head. I noticed and asked, “So… Did I just invent ‘AI Slipstream’?” Yes (according to V’ger). With my coaxing, V'ger devised a manifesto. But truly, AI–not I–was setting the naming protocols and defining the characteristics of the genre. I uploaded the conversation, but then began to mull it over a bit. Later, I appended this follow-up. But an interesting thing happened, as ChatGPT (V'ge...

AI Slipstream and a Blog as a Vessel  Verbatim Chat with ChatGPT  DKP Query: I ' ve decided to blog some of my chats with Gemini, ChatGPT, and other AI voices , but I' ve come across a predicament of organization, order, authorship, and "voice." I'm going to need different formats, organizational devices, and maybe platforms, for different conversations. Some conversations, I will want to rewrite into a narrative. For some conversations, I 'l l want a dialogue; if not verbatim, at least true to topic and spirit. In others, I might want a combination. As far as "voice" is concerned, I will be jumping from serious to whimsical to passive-aggressive "elf with troll aspirations." 😆 Because, you know me by now , GPT: I just can't help myself. Of course, I have different blogs for different chat topics. But posting chats...?! Already into the first post, I've run into a dilemma. How to keep my voice intact, GPT's voice intact, and...
