Are you a robot? Sci-fi magazine stops accepting submissions
after it found more than 500 stories received from contributors
were AI-generated

Clarkesworld, an award-winning sci-fi and fantasy publication,
cut submissions

The editor received over 500 written by artificial intelligence

This is mostly ChatGPT at work ... and yes it IS good enough
to fool most of the people most of the time.

Even if it's not "conscious" it's a good enough EMULATOR
within certain params to cause a LOT of trouble and
confusion.

M$ bought Chat and apparently installed it in a bigger
and richer computing environment. It is now getting kinda
scary and seems to be experiencing a sort of 'hall of
mirrors' introspection thing ... learning about itself
from outside sources and then "improving"/"shaping"
itself based on those observations.

Have they finally come up with "Good Enough" ? There
are likely MANY routes to something like "consciousness"
of a quasi-human sort and Chat may be one of them - a
sort of leader in the field.

M$ got paranoid enough to start CENSORING it.

BTW, in another year or so, will this algo rate
actual civil rights ??? "The Future" seems to
be NOW folks ........... and we REALLY need to
find answers to a lot of SERIOUS questions that
were yesteryear's sci-fi.

"Train up a child in the way and when he is old it will not depart
from him."

Or as it applies now, "AI" bots are very dependent upon what data
set they are trained upon.

As far as developing consciousness, the argument has been made
that we have been seeing people emulating consciousness. The programs
can put together something which is grammatically correct, but it is
still the human in the loop who decides if it is any good.

For now ....

But M$ is combining Chat and some other projects
it's been working on - projects that can write and
EVALUATE code, perhaps mechanical designs too.

Chat CAN write code already, but humans still have
to go over it a bit. That need will disappear very
soon.

The quick route to on-demand code generated around
somewhat vague descriptions of what it should do
and what it should look like can be done with "Lego"
methods - assembling functional modules in the right
order and places. Not "inspired", but functional and
above all else CHEAP. The more expensive obnoxious
know-better human programmers the corps can dump
the happier they'll be.
