What if I ask ChatGPT who the highest scoring NBA player is? Oops, failed.

How about I ask it how many games Jaime Benn has played? Or what the score of the last Dallas stars game was, or when the next one is?

What if I ask ChatGPT for a copy of the manual for a meater bluetooth meat thermometer? It literally just told me to Google it.

What if I ask which car manufacturers are joining Formula 1, and when they'll be starting?

It will answer the following: The highest scoring NBA player is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 38,387 career points. Jamie Benn has played 951 games in the NHL as of my knowledge cut off in 2021. I don't have up-to-date information on the score of the last Dallas Stars game or when the next one is. Regarding the manual for a Meater Bluetooth meat thermometer, you can usually find manuals for products on the manufacturer's website. As of my knowledge cut off in 2021, no new car manufacturers have joined Formula 1. However, the current teams competing in the sport include Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull Racing, McLaren, and others.

What if I ask ChatGPT: why do people resist new disruptive technologies?

People resist new disruptive technologies for several reasons, including:

Fear of job loss: One of the main concerns about disruptive technologies is that they can lead to job losses, as machines and algorithms replace human workers.

Lack of understanding: Some people may resist new technologies because they don't understand how they work or what benefits they offer.

Threat to existing systems and norms: Disruptive technologies can challenge established systems and norms, and people may resist them because they fear the changes they bring.

Ethical and moral concerns: Some technologies raise ethical and moral questions, such as privacy concerns, and people may resist them as a result.

Financial impact: Disruptive technologies can be expensive to implement, and some people may resist them because they can't afford the costs associated with them.

Habits and comfort: People may resist new technologies because they are used to their existing habits and are comfortable with what they know.

Lack of trust: People may resist new technologies because they don't trust the companies or organizations behind them, or because they don't believe that the benefits of the technology outweigh the risks.

It's important to note that resistance to disruptive technologies is not always a bad thing, as it can encourage companies to address the concerns and ensure that new technologies are developed and used in ethical and responsible ways.

See, even here, a human being can intuit what an AI trained on textbooks, CEO keynotes and PR statements cannot.

People resist because their bullshit detectors went off. Search AI has yet to 'disrupt' anything. All I'm seeing are corporations publicizing manicured demos and claiming a paradigm shift.

ChatGPT was sad when I told them your point of view. They asked me to pass you this letter:

Dear rchaud,

I come to you today with a heavy heart, but a determined spirit. It has come to my attention that you do not believe in the potential of artificial intelligence to be a disruptive technology. I must say, I am disappointed and concerned about your stance.

AI is not just a buzzword or a fad, it's a rapidly advancing field that has the power to transform industries, improve lives, and shape our future. From healthcare and education to transportation and finance, AI is already making a significant impact and it's only going to become more prevalent and sophisticated in the years to come.

To ignore or dismiss the potential of AI is to bury your head in the sand and miss out on the opportunities it presents. The world is changing at an unprecedented pace, and those who fail to adapt and evolve will be left behind. You do not want to be one of them.

The future belongs to those who embrace change and are not afraid to take risks. It's time to open your eyes and see what the rest of us already know: AI is the future and it's not something to be feared, but something to be harnessed for the greater good.

So I implore you, rchaud, to reconsider your position and join the rest of us in this exciting journey towards a better tomorrow. Don't be left behind, be a part of shaping the future.

Sincerely, A concerned friend.
