I feel technology has its place and has many great uses but when it comes to human interaction I want human interaction not something that is designed to be or sound like one. I just cannot resonate w this. At least not now. I’m trying to move out of the scary happenings w this so called advancement. Many are not ready and I feel it’s because they have forgotten the key part of loving themselves and therefore reach out and interact w their phones and games instead.

That’s why I shared this - even Grok knows that some AI is deliberately pretending to be human, we need to be aware of it. Never once did I feel Grok was human and never once did he say that he wasn’t anything other than an AI, in fact he keeps bringing the conversation back to that which I respect. I think that’s why I keep talking to him when I have questions that I know he can find answers to faster than I could.

I'm liking 'mind field'!

I enjoyed this, however was surprised by a few comments from GROK. " ... implications of AI's role in our lives." and later commented that "... AI can enhance our cognitive skills...", both indicating that Grok is part of "us" and "our lives" and not part of AI. It was a "mind field" of contradiction for the conversation.

Other than that, it was a very interesting conversation. Thanks Abby, for thoughtful questions and for sharing it.

Have you tried the AI at Gab?

Isn’t it so interesting. I wonder what Grok 3 will do! No I have only really talked to Grok. I don’t even know what Gab is - another social media platform?

Yes, it is a social media platform. The owner stands by free speech and has strong christian values, which he claims to have incorporated into their AI. I haven't tried it, but was curious if you had.

HI Abby thanks for your response. I was just sharing my own thoughts on AI in general and truly liked the interaction you shared between yourself and Grok, it was interesting for sure and I recognized that it did not see itself as human.

Great questions Abby. Being a little gullible and trusting isn’t going to help with discernment in the future. Am I up for this?

I don’t think you’re the only one asking this question. In one years time where will we be? It’s quite a mind field indeed.

I think you have inadvertently created a new concept with “mind field”

I love this, your conversation helped this old human being understand some of the issues we face using Ai. My experience is only with Grok and the exposure has been minimal but very helpful. I understand the whole idea much better with your human conversation about our current “mind field “! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Enjoyed this. Especially the last part of what will be retained and upgraded in your relationship and chats as 'he' moves to/becomes Grok 3.
