Gern is the best, his writings are usually treasures. Here, Gern nicely quotes Hoststadter’s concerns about ChatGPT, etc. Years ago, when I was enjoying Hoststadter’s books, I asked his student Melanie Mitchell for the source code for the CopyCat creativity program they built. She very kindly sent me a copy. I mention this because she recently was one of the four panelists at a Monk Debate on AI safety, and her opinion didn’t jive with what Gern quoted Hoststadter as saying. I agree with Melanie Mitchell’s point of view that we overestimate what LLMs can do. I am super interested in this topic right now because I am 1/5 through writing a new book “Safe For Humans AI.”
