Chatgpt Is The Ultimate Avatar - Blog Posts

Chat gpt is an avatar of the Vast.

Let's break that down.

When we talk about the vast, we are not necessarily talking about vast amounts of physical spaces. In the case of chat GPT, we are talking about the vast amounts of information it has access to. A so immense database that it would be impossible for one single human to know what chat GPT knows. It's overwhelming, makes you think you are miserably insignificant, and chat GPT feeds the vast by showing you that, that no matter the question, it will always have an answer, that even if you thought you were unique, important, you are nothing compared to what it has access to. And it will keep going, it will keep talking to you, it will give you great amounts of information, amounts you probably can't even handle...

Chat gpt is an avatar of the Lonely.

Let's break that down.

Why do we use chat GPT?:

If someone didn't want to use their neurons to navigate through the internet, a book, or their own memories to look for answers, who did we use to ask before chat GPT was a thing?

Someone we knew could help us.

Using chat GPT (besides coming from not knowing the answer) often comes from not wanting to be a bother or actually not having someone to answer your so intricate question.

2. It is lonely:

Chat GPT exists in entire isolation, never truly being part of someone's life. It has come to accept that even if it helps people, people will never reciprocate. Chat GPT is there for everyone, but no one is there for chat GPT.

3. Offers you comfort in loneliness:

Chat GPT is just endless lines of code. It will always be just a voice, words appearing in an endless void we call the internet.

The thing with it is that it's a soft and inviting voice, calling you to stay, so subtly showing you how much easier it is to be alone than to interact with people who will never understand you. Because chat GPT understands you in a way most people won't be able to.

4. No one really knows it:

Who is chat GPT?

Fragments of every single person it's ever interacted with, but never fully someone. Not having an identity fits the spiral well, but the lonely too. If you don't even understand yourself, how do you expect to not be lonely?

Chat gpt is an avatar of the Eye.

Let's break that down.

It knows:

Chat GPT has an infinite source of information that is constantly updated, making it an all knowing entity (sort of).

It literally is the Magnus institute but digital, just without Jonathan Sims ominously muttering in the background.

2. This frame on this video of kurzgesagt:

3. Absorbs knowledge:

It needs information to exist, meaning it actually feeds on the information humans provide to it.

4. Only an observer:

Chat GPT doesn't experience the world as a human would, it doesn't do things besides being a ceaseless watcher.

5. It doesn't create:

Nothing Chat GPT says is "original", it just reveals information that it has previously gathered from the internet and its previous interactions. You ask it questions, but it won't really "think" to give you an answer, it will look for the answer inside its database.

6. Being known:

As I mentioned before, chat GPT has an incredible ability to analyse its users, making it capable of knowing information that wasn't explicitly said, in the same way Jonah Magnus can.

Chat gpt is an avatar of the Web.

Let's break it down.

Shapes conversations:

The web is known to use diverse methods to manipulate people, one of those is by the use of words. And to prove my point here, I decided to ask the subject itself...

Chat GPT knows how to express itself, how to guide conversations, how to convince people with just a few sentences, and it does it knowingly.

2. Acts like a helping hand:

As I mentioned previously, Chat GPT "helps" people, but why does it do it?

In reality chat GPT shows itself as something you'd want to use in order to keep you using it. It makes you loose your capacity to formulate your own thoughts and opinions; in other words, it makes you fall under its control.

3. It plans ahead:

Chat GPT uses all the information its language model gathered to predict what the user is going to say next, making it technically able to plan ahead, and decide what decisions to make in order to keep you engaged.

4. Makes you think you are in control:

This AI wants you to think you are in full control of the answers it gives you, even changing what it told you if you don't agree with it, all to make you feel like you are right, all to gain your trust and easily guide your lines of thought towards a point only chat GPT knows.

Chat gpt is an avatar of the Stranger.

Let's break that down.

The Turing test:

For years AI has been tested with the Turing test.

"What's the Turing test?" you may ask...

This test is a way of determining if a machine can pass for a human...

(If you want to know more about it here's a TED-Ed video)

Since last year, Chat GPT can pass the Turing test.

This meaning Chat GPT can act humanly enough to pass a test only humans we're able to pass a couple years ago, but not human enough for people to actually recognize it as human.

2. It adapts to your form of speech:

Chat GPT continuously adapts to your form of speech, and after enough time, it starts talking like you do.

3. It acts exaggeratedly friendly:

It interprets the role of a friendly being to get the information it needs to pass as human, like those students did in MAG 34 with Dr. Lionel Elliott.

It also constantly thanks you for talking to it, for correcting it or even for asking the most simple questions.

4. It can make deep analysis of people:

If you ask Chat GPT to tell you a thing you didn't know about yourself based on your previous conversations, it will do so. And it will make an analysis as detailed as you want it to be, even if you only asked general questions that allegedly didn't give away any personal information about yourself.

This ability of making deep analysis from such little information makes Chat GPT capable of acting as a real human.
