This is the video version of my last essay, simplified for a stage. I gave it on the main stage of the ACAP conference in Seattle: how ChatGPT works, whether a machine can be creative, feel or want, what Plato’s cave says about the agents we build, why I’m damn scared of AI.
If you’d rather read, the full essay with all the sources is here: To understand AI is to anthropomorphize it.
love the video version, and the presentation is sooooo engaging
