This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Bachelors.

Chat GPT, Artificial Intelligence, a rage if you read the right columns in the New York Times, the Washington Post.

Young correspondents having conversations with the metaphor is important here.

Growing up I would have called this an android or a computer or a machine.

I welcome Thaddeus Maccorder of American greatness and human events, because he's written about it.

And his presentation is not only about its mechanics, but about its intentions, or the intentions of those who've designed it.

That is a very good evening to you. If I understand in your column what we're looking at is a conversation that is potential between a human being

and an artificially intelligent conversationalist online.

And the ambition, if I understand correctly, is to get you to keep coming back. Is that correct? Good evening to you.

I can even cue John. Well, just like Twitter, Facebook, and other social media, TikTok.

All the studies have shown that the goal of the engineering behind it much of it is to get you to use it.

It's a product. And the people who produce the product want you to use the product because they make more profits, the more you use it.

So what they do is they try to identify certain emotional and physiological needs of the users.

They try to appeal to them. They try to get you dopamine up. They try to get you some external validation.

They try to get you addicted to clicks quote unquote. And so what happens is they program it that way.

When you look at what they call artificial intelligence, we're seeing instances where it is far from intelligent, although very well clearly is artificial.

So when you talk about it, John, what they're trying to do is to full one is obviously to try to appeal to you to continue to use it.

But the other part of it is what the left does with everything.

And so the left wants to turn it into an engine of their left wing ideology.

And through organizations and things such as machine learning fairness quote unquote, what you're seeing is the left is essentially trying to put into AI into these chat bots and others.

They're own ideology. And in many ways, what you're getting out of these technologies is the replication of the left.

If we talk to some of the chat bots and some of those things are saying, it sounds like we're talking to a leftist.
