AI – Wyrmlog

Thursday, Down at the Four Points

Presenter: Has anyone heard of dopamine? Yes? A few of you. Dopamine is the pleasure chemical, and the thing about SMS messages is that every time you get one it gives you a little hit of dopamine!

Me, autistic and flooded with cortisol at even the THOUGHT of getting an SMS: Ok…

Presenter: So here’s what happens when you fill out a restaurant reservation using our AI system *fills out form*

SMS: Hi Presenter! Thanks for your reservation! We’re looking forwards to seeing you at 6:00 on Thursday. While we talking, would you like us to have a drink waiting for you when you arrive?

Presenter: So you see, you instantly get a response, and that generates that vital hit of dopamine which immediately begins building engagement!

Me: I just want my booking confirmed…?

Presenter: *types* That sounds great. Can I get a glass of Chianti?

SMS: No problem! A glass of Chianti will be waiting for you. Or if you prefer we can reserve the entire bottle for only $12. Would you also like an appetiser? You can view our appetiser menu at *link*.

Presenter: So you see with every interaction you’re generating more dopamine and making a connection with the customer.

Me: This is a nightmare.

Presenter: *types* I’d like some oysters and a garlic bread. Also, one of my friends is gluten free, what do you have for them?

SMS: We’ll have some oysters and garlic bread ready when you arrive! Our menu has a selection of gluten free dishes, have a look at it here *link*. Or our chef can prepare something specially, like a selection of braised vegetables. How does that sound?

Presenter: Now our aim is to get at least seven interactions via SMS, because our research shows that when you get to seven interactions the customer is fully engaged with your product.

Me: If I got seven SMSs from a restaurant I would die. I would literally die.

Presenter: *types* That’s wonderful. Thank you very much!

SMS: No need for thanks, we just want to make sure we give you the best dining experience possible! Would you prefer to be seated indoors or in our al fresco section?

Me: JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

AI = Anti Iesus!!!

The current wave of AI is a mixed bag at best, but I wouldn’t go as far as to call it the Antichrist. Not the nutty, American, Christian spammers though! They have it all worked out!

Yes If you look closely in the Bible, there are very specific warnings of the rise of AI Revelation 13 talks of the emergence of the Anti-Christ, a great deceiver that will rise in times of great chaos and confusion And, right now, AI’s influence is rapidly spreading around the world in disguise. Sadly, most people are blissfully unaware. See here why: [URL REDACTED] Or perhaps already corrupted by its “touch.” Even more alarmingly, AI is getting more and more powerful Chat GPT 4, a version of Microsoft’s AI, was opened to the public in March 2023 It is reported to contain 10 times the knowledge base of Chat GPT 3… And have 100 Billion times more processing power. What comes next? American Christians have made a short documentary to help you understand and prepare for the dangers of AI. If you truly believe in God, and his biblical prophecies, I urge you to watch the video now. Because Big Tech could take it down at any moment. Click here to watch it right now: [URL REDACTED]

The truth of course is that Big Tech would never take down their crazy documentaries – they’d just feed them to their AIs to help them produce even crazier documentaries with no human input at all!

Brains? Where we’re going we don’t need brains!

It is a fact well known to all that here at the Wyrmlog I expend great effort to keep abreast of the latest developments in science and technology (You! at the back! Stop sniggering!). As such I thought it was important to have a look at ChatGP, the AI chatbot that is – depending on who you talk to – either the greatest thing ever created by humankind or the harbinger of the collapse of civilisation.

As is my standard test for all AI systems I asked its opinion on the religious persuasions of dinosaurs, a practise deriving from the very first Googlewhack I ever found – the phrase “Mormon diplodocus” (What’s a Googlewhack? Don’t young people today read Dave Gorman?). It responded with the following…

In the ancient world of the dinosaurs, there were many different species with diverse religious preferences. Some, like the Stegosaurus, were devout followers of the Earth goddess, Gaia. They believed that the natural world was sacred and that all living things were connected. They spent their days meditating in the forest, communing with nature and giving thanks for the abundance of the land.

The Triceratops, on the other hand, were devout followers of the Sky god, Uranus. They believed that the god of the sky had created the earth and all its creatures, and they spent their days gazing up at the heavens in awe and reverence. They were known for their elaborate rituals, which involved sacrificing large plants and animals to appease Uranus and ensure good weather.

The Velociraptor, on the other hand, were not religious in the traditional sense. They were fierce hunters and believed that strength and cunning were the keys to survival. They had no need for gods or goddesses, and instead relied on their own skills and instincts to survive in the harsh wilderness.

Finally, the T-Rex, the king of the dinosaurs, was the most powerful of them all. He had no need to rely on any god or goddess. He was the god of the dinosaurs. All the other dinosaurs worshiped him and feared him. He ruled the land with an iron fist and was worshiped as a god by all.

Despite their differences in religious beliefs, all the dinosaurs lived in harmony and respected one another’s beliefs. They knew that the natural world was vast and mysterious, and that there was room for many different ways of understanding and honoring it.

In the end, these ancient creatures may have gone extinct, but their belief systems lived on through the creatures that inherited the earth. And their legacy of respect for diversity will forever be remembered in the annals of history.

I think we may be in serious trouble…
