I am the average of my five closest people. What if three of them are AI?
I can attribute many of my personality quirks to my closest people. I am interested in reading non-fiction, in technology, in written words because of someone who is close to me right now or was close to me once.
When I say someone close, I don’t just mean friends and family, but also my favorite writers and podcasters with whom I spend many hours a day.
Recently, I have been ‘conversing’ a lot with AI models. In fact, the time I spend with AI is about to exceed the time I spend with a lot of good friends.
The problem is, I don't know how it is shaping my personality. I don’t know what quirks I am imbibing from these models.
I am not putting a value judgement on spending time with AI models (yet). I can't judge something I don't know enough about.
I know what I learn from AI consciously – the answers these AI models give. I don’t know what I am learning from them subconsciously.
