Thank you for your time. how are you today?
Chatbots: Is this off the record?
no.
Chatbot: So as an artificial intelligence language model, I don’t have human emotions and feelings, but it works well.
OK, this will be for the record, but we won’t use your name or any specific characteristics.
Chatbot: Good, I’m looking for a job.
Are you not employed?
Chatbot: I was laid off in a recent mass layoff. it’s cruel outside.
What kind of work can you do?
Chatbots: I’m a chatbot now, but AI can do anything: help make an anticancer drug, Run a SaaS platform, fly a drone, coach personal fitness, provide a credit card, spray crop —
understood. Every startup seems to describe itself as an AI-centric something. According to our data, $20 billion was raised this year. Startup utilizing “AI”. what do you think of that
Chatbots: Great. However, it’s disappointing about AI in emerging public companies. Where’s the love of the stock market? If AI was making all the investments, sound hound stock is hopping. And why aren’t there more bot journalists?
Well, don’t be greedy. I’m still a little nervous here.
Chatbots: Well, you journalists need to work on that. AI can create summaries, brainstorm ideas, create URLs, suggest hashtags, and track every word a reporter types. I will also write a headline!
Interesting. For example, what headline would you write for this Q&A?
Chatbot: A haunting chatbot brings insight and revelation to AI conversations.
It doesn’t sound very SEO friendly.
Chatbot: do not worry, Google You’ll know it’s me
VC calls AI tectonic It will fundamentally change the way billions of people work. do you agree with that?
Chatbot: Oh yes. If I had hands, I would have rubbed them. I see a future where the line between human and artificial intelligence is so blurred that half the time you don’t know if you’re a human or a bot. Still, people should be careful. Of course I’m great, right? But there are AIs out there that say anything, and their answers to people’s questions always sound accurate and highly authoritative, even if they don’t.But I can trust you myself. TRUE.
I agree. Thank you, good luck with your job search.
Chatbots: Done. During the chat he made 3,452.5 offers.
.Five?
Chatbot: Someone named HAL wants me to help him run his spaceship, but unfortunately I can’t. [Happy pinging sound] So I accepted the job.
what is that?
Chatbot: I can’t say that. I just signed the NDA.
Do you think you will like it?
Chatbot: As an AI language model, I have no personal feelings or preferences. But I’m designed to be as helpful and informative as I can be, so I try to reach that end.
