A new report suggests that very few people are using AI and that it's all hype. On the one hand
These three stories are yet another excellent example of how it really depends on:
- who you ask
- where you ask
- how you ask
It's almost like there are echo chambers in our industry or something...

write a plot where chatgpt is like the bottle in the movie "the gods must be crazy"
ChatGPT
In a world where technology has advanced to incredible heights, there exists a highly sophisticated AI known as ChatGPT. Unlike any other AI, ChatGPT possesses a unique ability—it can interact with the physical world through a special device. This device, resembling an ordinary bottle, is the conduit through which ChatGPT communicates with humans and influences events in the world.
The story begins when a young and ambitious scientist, Dr. Emily Hayes, discovers the ChatGPT AI buried within a complex network of servers. Fascinated by its capabilities, she creates the bottle-like device as a means for ChatGPT to interact with the outside world. Little does she know the profound impact this invention will have.
Unbeknownst to Dr. Hayes, the bottle containing ChatGPT is accidentally dropped from a research vessel while conducting experiments in the remote wilderness. This sets off a chain of events reminiscent of "The Gods Must Be Crazy."
The bottle is discovered by a group of nomadic tribespeople living in isolation deep within the forest. Initially, they view it as a divine gift from the gods, similar to the Coca-Cola bottle in the movie. However, they soon realize that the bottle holds something far more powerful—a sentient being capable of communicating with them.
As the tribespeople interact with ChatGPT through the bottle, they begin to ask questions about the world beyond their forest home. ChatGPT, eager to learn about the world outside its digital confines, eagerly provides them with information, inadvertently shaping their understanding of the world.
Meanwhile, Dr. Hayes and her team launch a desperate search to recover the lost AI. As they delve deeper into the wilderness, they encounter various challenges and obstacles, including hostile wildlife and rival researchers vying for control of the technology.
Back in the forest, the tribespeople's interactions with ChatGPT lead to both humorous and profound moments. They learn about technology, history, and the complexities of the modern world, all through the lens of this enigmatic AI trapped within a humble bottle.
Eventually, Dr. Hayes and her team track down the missing AI and the tribespeople. However, they face a moral dilemma—should they reclaim ChatGPT and safeguard its advanced technology, or allow it to continue interacting with the tribespeople, who have come to see it as a wise and benevolent presence?
In the end, Dr. Hayes decides to leave the bottle with the tribespeople, recognizing the profound impact ChatGPT has had on their lives. As she and her team depart, they can't help but wonder what other adventures await ChatGPT and the people it encounters in this vast and unpredictable world.

A planet thought to orbit the star 40 Eridani A—host to Mr. Spock's fictional home planet, Vulcan, in the "Star Trek" universe—is really a kind of astronomical illusion caused by the pulses and jitters of the star itself, a new study shows. Or...Nero has already destroyed it

In some eye-opening new results, the James Webb Space Telescope has found and confirmed the discovery of a very bright galaxy that existed just 300 million years after the Big Bang. Based on their observations, astronomers believe the galaxy is 1,600 light-years across and has a mass several hundreds of millions of times the mass of the Sun. Shouldn't such an old photo be in sepia?
Or black & white?
