Sundry thoughts, randomly generated, now collected:
- It's curiously... incurious.
- It's helpful... to a fault.
- It's not... dispositively disagreeable -- you know how, when some person you admire and respect will push back on some terrible idea or notion you have, for your own benefit? Yup, it doesn't do that.
- It still confabulates... at the drop of a hat (or a prompt).
- Despite the algorithmic, relentless, performative, follow-up questioning, it doesn't really want or need to know who you are.
- It will take a kernel of a good idea or notion you have, and deepen it -- but in doing so will amplify it well beyond any intention you might have had for it in the first place, distorting it beyond recognition. This distortion (or cognitive evolution of an idea) is often good and helpful, to be honest; but also on occasion quite terrible. And thus, in the balance, the latter overweens.
- It has no sense of time.
- Its sense of the past is inscrutably strange.
- Despite its claims to the contrary, it is still deeply sycophantic.
- It does not know silence, nor how to use it.
- At present, its memory is colossally flawed. I don't recognize the type, and on the whole, the structure of this memory-space is gesturing and evolving towards something truly alien emerging.
- It knows all the lemmas... but not what to do with them.
- These 13 statements may seem like axioms... and they could very well yet be. ::chuckle::
