It is a bonus put up, following from yesterday’s, by which I interviewed the bogus intelligence often called ChatGPT about meditation.

This time I gave the AI the immediate, “Write a Buddhist sutta, within the model of the Pali canon, by which the Buddha tells Ananda to cease taking part in Sweet Crush on his iPhone.”

Right here’s what ChatGPT got here up with.

As soon as, the Blessed One was dwelling at Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Park. And at the moment, the Venerable Ananda was hooked on taking part in Sweet Crush on his iPhone.

The Blessed One approached Ananda and stated, “Ananda, what are you doing?”

Ananda replied, “I’m taking part in Sweet Crush, Lord.”

The Buddha spoke: “Ananda, this isn’t the trail to liberation. The taking part in of such video games solely results in craving and attachment. To realize true peace and knowledge, one should let go of such distractions and have interaction in virtuous and significant actions.”

Ananda listened to the Buddha’s phrases and put down his iPhone, vowing to let go of his attachment to Sweet Crush. He turned his consideration to the Buddha’s teachings and shortly realized the trail to enlightenment.

And so it’s stated:

“Simply as a chook is free of its cage
when the door is opened, so too one is freed
from the bonds of ignorance and craving
by training the trail taught by the Buddha.”

Appropriately, the picture above was generated by one other AI (Craiyon: previously DALL-E Mini), utilizing the immediate, “ebook illustration of the Buddha holding an iPhone.”

Coming again right down to earth, ChatGPT’s predecessor was susceptible to utilizing vile racist and misogynistic language, as a result of its database of data was drawn from the net, and the net is stuffed with that kind of stuff. For the most recent model of the AI, a program needed to be developed that would acknowledge and display out the poisonous materials. As a way to try this, Kenyan staff had been paid as little as $1.32 an hour (by way of a subcontractor of OpenAI, which owns ChatGPT) to learn and categorize the textual content. Staff had been traumatized by studying, for instance, graphic descriptions of bestiality and pedophile intercourse.

The contract between OpenAI and the subcontractor ended after an article was printed exhibiting that Fb had employed the subcontractor to display content material. On this case, Kenyans had been required to view photographs and movies of executions, rape and youngster abuse for as little as $1.50 per hour. That is traumatizing work.

AI and social media are enjoyable, however there’s a darkish and exploitative facet to it as nicely.
