There was another, um, article that I was looking at about, um, about AI delusions, God delusions.
Gino GeraciHOST
Ted Gioia, he has a, a Substack article, and he talks about, um, about the first sign of craziness came out of a Stanford University back in 2024 when a computer engineer named Matthew Watkins announced that a goddess had emerged from his AI chatbot, and that this goddess even had a name.
Gino GeraciHOST
She was called, uh, the goddess, um, Leilan.
Gino GeraciHOST
And, uh, uh, and so he said he wanted to talk about it, write about it, but then he soon discovered that there were a bunch of manifestations of so-called artificial intelligence goddesses beco- be-- you know, starting to populate in the artificial intelligent world.

I strongly agree with David Perell that it is sad that we used to make it a priority to make a variety of things beautiful, and now we don't and merely make them functional.
