People are using ChatGPT to automate the publication of comments and replies to Twitter posts.
So far, only a handful of smart tech-savvy early-adopters was able to build that mechanism.
On the other side of the street is the rest of us still typing things out of our own heads.
Once we all have GPT at our disposal and fully integrated to social networks we are part of, there will be a war; a GPT war.
It’s going to be my GPT setup against yours.
I may have a different “subscription plan” than you which gives me more A.I. power to mix humor and sarcasm into my answers.
Your plan, in turn, may be very good at providing answers with a specific political bias you have calibrated over time. You have taught your A.I. to think politically like you do.
Your A.I. may eventually be better than you.
Mine will be better than me, for sure.
And, what if somebody else’s A.I. becomes much better than yours and mine working together?
How many different wars will take place simultaneously?
Which of them will you and I be part of?
Of those, how many do we really understand and support?
Of the others, which ones we don’t even care to know are happening.
We have to believe that among so many conflicts taking place online at the same time, all over the world, there will be sparks of good light. Great ideas. Consensus. Solutions to old problems we humans are trying to solve for ages.
Maybe those great ideas will pop-up — literally! — when nobody is looking at the screen and will be lost forever in that war started two days ago in Reddit.
Let’s hope the same tech savvy people who started this crazy thing will build ways to capture the best ideas when then first appear online.
When that happens, we humans will be entitled to say we have started “virtual wars” to bring peace to us in the real world.
