I'd Like to Thank My Co-Author, Claude... · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And of course I have to thank my co author Claude,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: who couldn't be here today because it's not a human.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: It's one more thing I'm not, as I said it
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: not he. I don't know no fool who thinks a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: damn chatbots a person.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Before we get to that, I just watched a video
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: and this is better if you live in the San
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Francisco Bay area, but you'll recognize the phenomenon. So remember
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: that Mac Jones, dude who was a quarterback for the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers for a while last year.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: That was oh yeah, yeah, absolutely early.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Did well and he became up. Anyway, he was the
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Giants Dodgers game last night, which was in San Francisco.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: They put the camera on him. He's got a beer
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: in his hand. He tips up the beer and chugs it,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: the whole thing down, you know, the gulp, then holds
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the can in the air and the crowd goes berserk.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Way to go, man, which I just find an interesting phenomenon.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: The whole crowd erupts going nuts because he drank the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: whole beer in a short amount of time.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It's partly that he's an fl hero football player.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I thought it was fantastic. I don't know. It gave
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: me chills. I'm like, why am I how excited about this? Ass?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Oh? That is funny. It's funny quarterback too. Backup to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: brock perty. So this is interesting. Why I co authored
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a book with chat GPT A fellow by the name
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of I think it's a fella, Jamie Metzel. Jamie could
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: be a girl. I don't know. Where's the let's see
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: his he's a Jamie dude. Anyway, He set out to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: write a book entitled Where's the actual title? The the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Where the hell did I go? It's like the New
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Ten Commandments. What he did was he hm M. He
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: gave a chat and it want really well and he
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: thought I ought to write a book on this theme.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And his chat GPT five prompt, I said Claude illied
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: was the following quote. Drawing from the full spectrum of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: human history, including philosophy, religion, spiritual teachings, indigenous wisdom, and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: humanist traditions, what are the ten most fundamental rules that,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: if sincerely followed by all people, would most likely create
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the highest levels of love, peace, and mutual respect and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: justice across you man? And that's a great prompt it
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: is and well written, and indeed he got his ten commandments.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I can hit you with him. One Treat every being
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: with compassionate and dignity, to do no harm, actively protect
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the vulnerable. Three, Speak and act truthfully with integrity and humility. Four,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Share generously, especially with those in need. Five seek to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: understand others before judging them. And it goes on in
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that vein.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Who's got the time? Would be my response.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Ten is remember the sacredness of life, live with alle gratitude,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and love beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Uh So, but let's get
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to the part where he's going to write a book
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: with a I. Oh, it's the ten AI, the AI
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: ten Commandments, a new moral code for humanity written by
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Jamie Metzel in GPT five. Anyway, so he says, when
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I decided to write a book based around Oh, at first,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: he says, this list is way more compelling to people
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in the old style ten commandments. I haven't coveted my
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: neighbor's OX for years, he says, ha, ha ha, it's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: about coveting in general. Anyway, When I decided to write
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a book based around the arguments.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: That made sure which I had that ox.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Damn, the ashame of that thing wandered into my backyard.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I'll never be happy until I have an ox like
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you've got.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And if I had an ox like you've got, I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: would be happy the other side of envy anyway, so
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: he says, I knew I had to write it differently
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: than my previous six books. My new book, The AI
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Ten Commandments, a New Moral Code for Humanity, is the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: first major work of nonfiction to be officially co authored
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: with an AI chatbot. This may horrify you before you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: jump to premature conclusions to explained, let me explain what
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that means for this book in the future of our species.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think we'll get that far. But some people
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: might imagine that I pressed a magic AI button and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: out popped a book. But nothing could be further from
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the truth. I began by writing an extremely detailed outline
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of the entire book based on the ideas and structure
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of my previous talk at the college. I identified key
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: blocks of text, usually up to a few paragraphs long,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: where I wanted specific help from GPT five to synthesize
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a particular vast field of knowledge. I then trained the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: model on my personal writing style. By uploading much of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: my previous work to the system, I was the sole conceptualizer, framer, organizer,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and narrative voice of the book, but each of us
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: thus brought our unique capabilities to the task of writing.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I provided all of the concepts, themes, ideas, and values,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and had complete editorial control, while GPT five brought an
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: extraordinary breadth of access, speed of synthesis, and a willingness
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to repeatedly and tirelessly generate, revise, and refine snippets of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: my text at my direction.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: All without me having to do near as much work.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Although that's where I get hung up here, it's kind
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of the next paragraph. As a matter of fact, here's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: an example. In the book. I made the case that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: AI has the potential to see us collectively from the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: same type of perspective we have when looking down in
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: an ant colony. To write this section, I first entered
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: my thesis statement and asked GPT five to generate three
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: paragraphs in my writing style, making specific points I outlined invariably.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: GPT's five initial response wasn't very good, so I'd keep
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: asking it to make more changes when that text was
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: in decent enough shape. I did a full edit of
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the paragraphs and then put them back into GPT five,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: asking now we might make them stronger. Still. This led
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to another series of back and forth. When those few
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: paragraphs were ready, I popped them into the manuscript text
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and moved on. I work like this many thousands of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: times while generating the first draft of the book. All Right,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: here's the point in which I thought, that sounds like
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: more freaking trouble than just writing it, right, Yeah, doing
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a little research, getting a few paragraphs of quotes you
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: can use, and then just writing the goddamn thing yourself.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Or you're kinding with this guy just looking for the gimmick. Uh.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I think maybe he was, or because it sounds like
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you're kind of just using the chatbot the way you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: would use the encyclopedia or something for information that then
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: you're then writing about the information that you gathered.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I realize, as they say, writing is rewriting.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Your first draft is just that's your beginning, and that's fine,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: but you will rewrite if you're going to be a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: good writer. This painstaking, going over it and over it
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and over it and correcting it and feeding it this
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and that and the rest of it seems like too
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: much trouble.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think AI is going to be able to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: create anything new. Maybe it doesn't have to.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It kind of recombines the old into new.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, people love the James Patterson novels.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: He's the number one selling author of all time. I think, uh,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you know, and they're all kind of the same, oh formula,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: like sure, yeah, so well done. I assume chat GPT
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: could spit out a thousand of those in the next
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: five minutes would be roughly the same. But in terms
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: of coming up with like something new, I don't know
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: if that will ever happen.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I was somewhat disturbed when I first found out that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: some of your like super big names like Patterson and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: don't quote me, I'm not sure he doesn't, but they
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: actually become a brand. Oh absolutely, writers right under his name.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Even on his book James Patterson in big letters, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: then written by whoever wrote this one.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Josh love of its exactly, And I don't know who
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: did the work.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know what Patterson's role is. To make it
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: about a guy, I don't know. He tries to gill
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: his wife and gets caught by the Chinese genius names genius.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: They get right to work.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, if you love that sort of thing,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you love that sort of thing. But I would think
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: AI is gonna be able to crank that sort of
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: stuff out endlessly.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I would love to be able to have a feature
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: where you can see other people's chat GPT, oh, like,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: because I'm just thinking about how different this guy's chat
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: GPT looks from mine. Mine's like nice steamed salmon recipes,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and he's over here writing a book. I don't know,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I just I think it would be interesting.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Or yeah, right, probably at some point lots of our
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: chat GPT searches or Claude searches or whatever will be
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: out there for someone to see, and someone will hack
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: in and release them or.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Or I'm thinking of like a feature where you could
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: toggle them on and off of like pubblic So if
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: somebody was interested, just that'd be cool.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Yeah, that would be very cool.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: We once learned how to control fire and cook food
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: in ways that freed more energy to power our brains
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: than we domesticated plants and animals, so more of us
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: could stop hunting and gathering and do other things like
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: building civilizations. We mechanized labor so the vast majority of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: us could leave our farms and eventually, many years later,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: create innovations like machine intelligence. For at least a million years,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the story of humans has been a story of radical
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: technology driven change that ultimately made our lives better and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: generally freaked.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Out our ancestors. Was gonna let your roll until you
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: got up to the end. Generally made ourselves better. We
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: have more anxiety, depression, not wanting to have kids, loss
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: of purpose than we've ever had. So I'm not sure
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: we took it too far.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Perhaps horrifyingly divided politics. Yeah, I posed this problem, this
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: question before. What happens when the monkey gets too smart
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: for its own good? I think that's what the Book
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of Genesis was about.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Start throwing your crap at other monkeys.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: You know, I have second, one more thing in a
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: row that's gone to crap. Poo poo, checking poochuck, just poo,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: just pooh.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: In general, Yeah, it matter. Yeah, I wish that none
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: of this was happening, but it is happening, And since
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: it is happening, but I'm kind of excited to be
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: alive for it. It's gonna happen to you unless I
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: have a heart attacker. So I'm like, dad, I got
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: another twenty years. Probably it's gonna happen in my lifetime,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna get.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: The Chinese AI robot soldier dog comes to kill you.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Mentioned to it that I'm happy to.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Be alive to see this, the AI robot soldier dog.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll spare you.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure i'd want to be you know, are
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: my kids listening. I'm not sure i'd want to be
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: my kid's age and about to live through this, because
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: they're going to live in a completely different world than
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the rest of us did throughout history.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would prepare yourself for uncertainty.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, in my mind, I know, I have no idea
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: what to tell my kids. I mean, just you know,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: other than I go with the you know, be honest,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: don't lie to people, don't steal stuff, et cetera. Would
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: support yourself, all that sort of stuff. But man, beyond that,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: just the like very broad principles, no freaking idea what
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: society is gonna look like for them when they're thirty.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: It's a good skill now, it'll be a great skill
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: in the future. Learn to steal from the government.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's almost certainly true. I'm dropting that one down. Yeah,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: there you go at me too. Well, I guess that's it.
