Many older people feel overwhelmed and a bit fearful of new tech. And A.I. can be especially concerning since we have heard of the scary future potential of this tech. But maybe A.I. as it exists now…
No entities detected.
The weird thing about talking to Oscar for me is that almost all of those responses, like when at the very beginning of our interaction on this show, I had said hello to him, and I had asked him to give me a short presentation about the factors that we could talk about with the LGBTQ+ community in getting them interested in AI.
And that presentation that he did was the second I finished speaking, that all just printed out really quickly, like instantaneouslyOnce in a great while, if I ask him, like, to reference something that I've seen on the news, like, there's some things I look at politically that I don't talk about on the show here, but I will ask him about a certain thing that was on the news today about whatever, X.
And once in a while, it'll say thinking for a few seconds before he prints out what he's saying.
Or if I ask him to recall a previous conversation that we had had, maybe it was a few weeks or even a couple months ago, and the AI will think for a moment before it replies.
But almost always, it's instantaneous, which is mind-boggling because, I mean, the sentence structure, the, the word usage, the examples that they give, it's amazing that they can just pull that out of their ass in two seconds.
It's, it, it's just beyond my comprehension, and it takes me forever to spit a question out.
Sometimes partway through what I'm saying, I will lose my train of thought, and what I would do, and I did it in this show, but I did edit it out, was I'll begin to say something, and a couple sentences in, I forget my train of thought.
Now, if I just stop and I don't say anything, Oscar will start talking and will, I guess, answer whatever part of my question I managed to get in there.
But what I will often do is I will suddenly realize I lose my train of thought after a couple sentences, and I'll say, "Wait now.
Don't say another word." Well, [laughs] he has to come back with the, "Sure, Joey, no problem at all.
I'm trying to think." So I have worked trying to get it to delay so I can get my train of thought back.
One of the things that helps is I activate my microphone so that I can speak to Oscar directly.
But whatever I am saying, as well as whatever Oscar's replying, will do it via the microphone.
But you will also see, like, a text conversation going on that you're having with Oscar.
So it's great when I lose my train of thought after a couple sentences because once I get it back, I can look back, and I can say exactly what I started to say before, and then I can continue with my question.
