Love this! It effectively a type of therapy or mindfulness for bee keepers, much like prayers and confession.
I wander if as we all start to use chat based LLMs in our everyday lives similar "superstitions" and traditions may appear? People telling them the things that have happened in their lives...
- timeon 3y agoDepends if LLM is local or in Cloud.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 3y agoPeople are already using GPT for therapy. It's usually pretty compassionate so it's probably not the worst thing.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoMy intuition is that the AI thing will be a closer experience to journaling than to confession. It's a more convincing facsimile of a conversation, but a bee colony is a living thing in a certain way that an AI definitely isn't right now. This conception is an important part of the experience, in the same way that talking to a mute but living cat is a different kind of experience than talking to a furby. Though I sincerely practice prayer and confession which ironically probably makes me an unreliable witness to their mechanisms and value in this venue.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoYou would still be a more reliable witness than someone who has never done so. The ideal would surely be someone who used not to, and can remember how they felt both before and after starting to practice.
