You make a good point about acts of God here, one I’ve been thinking about. The fact of the matter is that this internet infrastructure is very fragile. It’s hard to get worked up about my job when one cyberattack could shatter the entire thing.
Behold, chat GPT 4. They just can't write my stuff.

AI Takeover: Don't Worry!

Write a funny post with ten reasons not to worry about artificial intelligence taking over the world.
ChatGPT
Sure, here are ten reasons why you don't have to worry about artificial intelligence taking over the world:
Have you seen how many times Siri misunderstands your requests? If Siri can't even understand you, how can AI take over the world?
Even the smartest AI needs electricity to function. Just pull the plug and watch it turn into a fancy paperweight.
Have you ever tried to get a robot to do your laundry? Good luck with that.
Sure, AI might be great at playing chess, but can it master the art of rock-paper-scissors?
AI may be able to analyze data at lightning speeds, but it still can't tell a joke that's actually funny.
Let's be real, most AI looks like a clunky metal box. It's hard to take over the world when you're not exactly stealthy.
AI can be trained to recognize faces, but can it recognize the look of disappointment when it doesn't get a hug from its mom?
We've all seen Terminator, but have you ever seen a robot dance? Let's just say their moves could use some work.
Even the smartest AI can't replicate the feeling of snuggling with a puppy.
Lastly, AI may be advancing rapidly, but we still haven't figured out how to make it taste as good as pizza. And let's be real, if it can't do that, it's not taking over anything.

I bet that if you shoveled everything you've ever written into the message box and told it to write an essay "like that", it would pick up on the patterns and imitate you fairly well
I love this. Hilarious and thoughtful. My favorite idea is that idiots will destroy the Internet. We often think that Hashem works through rulers doing it-of-the-box things like Achashveirosh or Trump, but why not idiots? They do out-of-the-box things even more often!
Sorry, just got around to your substack, what took me so long?? Great stuff, looking forward to reading more! You're funny and you have great material!
Can I add my own two cents: Noam Chomsky is a renowned linguist, known annoyingly as 'the father of modern linguistics', and he thinks the AI threat is a joke. Reason is simple, anyone who knows a little bit about the complexity of an actual *original* thought understands how little AI is actually doing. They're not even close. I'd suggest to Yudlowsky or whatever his name is that he contemplate and introspect about the simplest of sentences to be amazed just how amazing actual *originality* is. It's actually Godly, as we know so well (ויפח באפיו נשמת חיים, רוח ממללא ערש"י שם ועוד מרמ"ק).
You are correct that it was Lot's wife who turned to salt, because she looked back, rather than embracing a new future.

You're right. Life is fragile. We need meaning.
Thank you for commenting!
If you don't find ChatGPT useful, you should try GPT-4. It substantially outperforms ChatGPT on all tasks.

Seems wholly unfair to judge the robot for not writing your stuff. It hasn't seen any examples of what your stuff looks like.
I bet that if you shoveled everything you've ever written into the message box and told it to write an essay "like that", it would pick up on the patterns and imitate you fairly well
Is there a way to do that without copy and pasting my entire substack?
I am genuinely curious. I've tried a whole bunch of prompts over time; never get anything like what I'm looking for.
Not that I know of.
Absolutely must love any post that includes quotes from your kids.
And the art work... You are out doing yourself.Tell the truth, did AI have any part in making that?
Nope! Canva is an amazing tool! Thank G-d for Canva!
This is approximately the same thing I was thinking!
Love the convo with the child, and especially the image with the robotic hands! :D
This is just fabulous. You really knocked out all the hype about AI taking over the world in a sincere and fun way.

That's interesting, did not know that about Noam Chomsky.
