Prepare to have your mind blown.
Is there a way AI could PROTECT our freedoms – or will it guarantee a dystopian future?
We are at the junction point of that choice… And yes, that’s our choice.
ChatGPT has exploded upon us and the world is rapidly shifting to integrate AI – whether we like it, or choose to stay ignorant about it, or not.
We’re all going to be radically impacted by AI in the next few years and need to get a minimum handle on this culture changing development.
It’s going to change our living and working worlds.
But what about us as people? As individual persons?
We may be able to use this new development to understand ourselves and how we think – and maybe make our own minds MORE creative in the process – perhaps more profoundly than ever before.
In this extraordinary cutting-edge conversation between Jordan Peterson and AI expert Brian Roemmele, ChatGPT and the Dawn of Computerized Hyper-Intelligence, many topics are covered including:
- Does AI Hallucinate?
- What Happens When ChatGPT LIES?
- We Don’t Understand the Monsters We’re Building.
- How to Hypnotize ChatGPT
- What is PERSONALIZED AI and Will It Be the Savior of Individualism that May Actually PROTECT our Freedom from Government & Corporate AI?
…and much much more.
I highly recommend you invest the 2 hours to watch/listen to this entire interview.
At a minimum please watch the first 90 seconds of it HERE.
I particularly recommend this interview for those interested in the future of Psychology and Human Interaction.
