And, on a related note for education, AI is quickly obviating the need to master and plumb the depths of foreign languages. Dating myself, doubtless, but as an undergraduate, it was an unalloyed joy to study ancient Greek and read Plato and Euripides in the original, however haltingly. And later Korean, Japanese, and Chinese beckoned providing a lifetime of rich understanding of life outside the confines of English. For Americans, at least, perhaps ours is the last generation that will seek rewire our understanding of reality through linguistic hacking.

AI will always be far better at languages than I'll ever be and I expect it to get much better very quickly. But I'm still learning my partner's language and don't think I'll stop any time soon. I think it's interesting and fun in and of itself. It's also a great scaffold for learning about another culture and learning to respect and understand folks from different walks of life.

Presuming that those languages exist within OpenAI's training dataset. Try to have a conversation in Rinconada with ChatGPT; my last attempt led to its admission that it had no proficiency in this language. You will have to find a native speaker, and their numbers are dwindling as Tagalog and English are being favored in education - the latter thanks to American linguistic imperialism.

The AI does not circumscribe all of reality; not all of reality is captured on the internet.
