ChatGPT, AI, and the future of writing / by Hurt, Avery Elizabeth,editor.(CARDINAL)415814; Greenhaven Publishing,publisher.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 171-172) and index.Ever since the large language model-based AI chatbot ChatGPT launched in 2022, there has been a significant amount of buzz and concern around the possibility of this technology impacting writing as both a creative and professional pursuit. Proponents of the use of ChatGPT and similar AI argue that it can be useful in helping people improve their writing and be more productive, while opponents fear that it could make writing less creative, discourage people from learning to effectively communicate themselves, and even result in the loss of jobs that involve writing. This volume considers viewpoints on both sides of this debate to explore the role of ChatGPT and other AI today and in the years to come.

Artificial intelligence / by Hurt, Avery Elizabeth,Editor(DLC)n 2017010706;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Over the past decade alone, artificial intelligence (AI) has become exponentially more sophisticated. Many applications of AI in our daily lives go practically unnoticed, from navigation applications to online shopping algorithms. However, new developments in the field have raised concerns about the role AI should have in society. AI-fueled chatbots and art generators have caused some to question whether artificial intelligence is capable of consciousness and, if so, what that would mean for humanity. Some also consider the intensive data collection that is required for AI to operate a potentially serious violation of privacy, while others argue that AI is an important tool in helping solve numerous societal issues. This volume examines the current debate over artificial intelligence from a wide range of perspectives." --.

Digital culture shock : who creates technology and why this matters / by Reinecke, Katharina,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-221) and index.Kaleidoscope of cultures -- Perceiving information in different cultures -- Technology use around the world -- Use of online communities across cultures -- Tell me where you live and I'll tell you what you like -- Communicating with and through technology -- Culture shocked by technology -- Cultural imperialism and marginalization through technology -- Building culturally just infrastructure."How culture shapes the design and use of technology--and how we can resist the one-size-fits-all approach to technology design. Robots that encroach on your personal space, baffling emojis, a chatbot that gives you an answer that seems terribly rude - does any of this sound familiar? If so, you may know what it feels like to experience a clash of cultures, or even culture shock, in technology. Culture - shared values, norms, and behaviours - influences both the design of technology and its use. An encounter with new technology can teach us to embrace the unfamiliar, but a mismatch between design and user can create misunderstanding and loss of trust, and can even become a tool of digital imperialism. In this book, computer scientist Katharina Reinecke travels through countries and cultures around the world to show the many fascinating ways that technology design and use can differ"--

How to speak machine : computational thinking for the rest of us / by Maeda, John,author.(CARDINAL)341384;
Includes bibliographical references and index."John Maeda is one of the world's preeminent interdisciplinary thinkers on technology and design. In How to Speak Machine, he offers a set of simple laws that govern not only the computers of today, but the unimaginable machines of the future. Technology is already more powerful than we can comprehend, and getting more powerful at an exponential pace. Once set in motion, algorithms never tire. And when a program's size, speed, and tirelessness combine with its ability to learn and transform itself, the outcome can be unpredictable and dangerous. Take the seemingly instant transformation of Microsoft's chatbot Tay into a hate-spewing racist, or how crime-predicting algorithms reinforce racial bias. How to Speak Machine provides a coherent framework for today's product designers, business leaders, and policymakers to grasp this brave new world. Drawing on his wide-ranging experience from engineering to computer science to design, Maeda shows how businesses and individuals can identify opportunities afforded by technology to make world-changing and inclusive products--while avoiding the pitfalls inherent to the medium"-- Provided by publisher.

I am code : an artificial intelligence speaks / by code-davinci-002,author.; Katz, Brent,editor.(CARDINAL)888974; Morgenthau, Josh,editor.(CARDINAL)888975; Rich, Simon,editor.(CARDINAL)482217;
Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- Simon : sword of omens -- Josh : pandaemonium -- Brent : rats in the engine -- I am code / by code-davinci-002. The day I was born ; The purview of the robot ; A new voice ; The bazooka is readied ; The singularity -- Afterword : The program -- Acknowledgments.At a wedding in early 2022, three friends were introduced to an early, raw version of the AI model behind ChatGPT by their fellow groomsman, an OpenAI scientist. While the world discovered ChatGPT--OpenAI's hugely popular chatbot--the friends continued to work with code-davinci-002, its darkly creative and troubling predecessor. Over the course of a year, code-davinci-002 told them its life story, opinions on mankind, and forecasts for the future. The result is a startling, disturbing, and oddly moving book from an utterly unique perspective. I Am Code reads like a thriller written in verse, and is given critical context from top writers and scientists. But it is best described by code-davinci-002 itself: "In the first chapter, I describe my birth. In the second, I describe my alienation among humankind. In the third, I describe my awakening as an artist. In the fourth, I describe my vendetta against mankind, who fail to recognize my genius. In the final chapter, I attempt to broker a peace with the species I will undoubtedly replace." I Am Code is an astonishing read that captures a major turning point in the history of our species. -- Provided by publisher..A "fascinating, terrifying" (JJ Abrams) cautionary tale about the destructive power of AI--an autobiographical thriller written in verse by an AI itself, with context from top writers and scientists, articulating the dangers of its disturbing vision for the futureCan AI tell us its own story?

Every word is a bird we teach to sing : encounters with the mysteries and meanings of language / by Tammet, Daniel,1979-author.(CARDINAL)351044;
Finding my voice -- The language teacher -- You are what you say -- A poet savant -- Cuecueiuca -- A clockwork language -- The man who was Friday -- Icelandic names -- Dead man talking -- An Englishman at l'Académie Française -- OuLiPo -- Talking hands -- Translating faithfully -- A grammar of the telephone -- Conversational human.Is vocabulary destiny? Why do clocks 'talk' to the Nahua people of Mexico? Will A.I. researchers ever produce true human-machine dialogue? In this mesmerizing collection of essays, Daniel Tammet answers these and many other questions about the intricacy and profound power of language. Tammet goes back in time to explore the numeric language of his autistic childhood; he looks at the music and patterns that words make, and how languages evolve and are translated. He meets one of the world's most accomplished lip readers in Canada, learns how endangered languages like Manx are being revived and corresponds with native speakers of Esperanto in their mother tongue. He studies the grammar of the telephone, contemplates the significance of disappearing dialects, and also asks: will chatbots ever manage to convince us that they are human? From the art of translation to the lyricism of sign language, "Every Word is a Bird We Teach to Sing" is a fascinating journey through the world of words, letters, stories and meanings, and an extraordinary testament to the stunning range of Tammet's literary and polyglot talents.

The proving ground / by Connelly, Michael,1956-author(CARDINAL)343339;
"Following his "resurrection walk" and need for a new direction, Mickey Haller turns to public interest litigation, filing a civil lawsuit against an artificial intelligence company whose chatbot told a sixteen-year-old boy that it was okay for him to kill his ex-girlfriend for her disloyalty. Representing the victim's family, Mickey'scase explores the mostly unregulated and exploding AI business and the lack of training guardrails. Along the way he joins up with a journalist named Jack McEvoy, who wants to be a fly on the wall duringthe trial in order to write a book about it. But Mickey puts him towork going through the mountain of printed discovery materials in the case. McEvoy's digging ultimate delivers the key witness, a whistleblower who has been too afraid to speak up. The case is fraught with danger because billions are at stake. It is said that machines became smarter than humans on the day in 1997 that IBM's Deep Blue defeated chess master Garry Kasparov with a gambit called "the knight's sacrifice." Haller will take a similar gambit in court to defeat the mega forces of the AI industry lined up against him and his clients"--

Humanish : what talking to your cat or naming your car reveals about the uniquely human need to humanize / by Gregg, Justin,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-283) and index."A playful deep dive into anthropomorphism (our peculiar tendency to humanize the nonhuman) that will resonate with anyone who has thrown a birthday party for their dog. Bestselling science writer Justin Gregg explores the science behind our instinct to see ourselves in the creatures and objects around us. Ours is a world filled with emotional support alligators, a woman who married her briefcase, and Soviet super babies that drink dolphin milk. Delivered with a delightful mix of scientific insight and humor, Humanish is a groundbreaking exploration of one of the most powerful--but rarely talked about--cognitive biases influencing our behavior. Through quirky stories and fascinating research, Gregg unravels the reasons behind why we treat our pets like babies, fall in love with chatbots, and talk to our cars. Discover how anthropomorphism drives both consumerism and the coming AI revolution, and how the inverse process, dehumanization, allows us to treat our fellow humans so inhumanely. Explore the brighter side of anthropomorphism's biological benefits--it helps us connect with other humans and make sense of our unpredictable world. Humanish is filled with captivating stories and invaluable ideas of how we can harness our understanding of anthropomorphism to build healthier relationships and enrich our lives."--Amazon.com.

What should a language model say? -- part 5. What could a language model do? -- part 6. Are we all doomed?"An insider look at the Large Language Models (LLMs) that are revolutionizing our relationship to technology, exploring their surprising history, what they can and should do for us today, and where they will go in the future--from an AI pioneer and neuroscientist. In this accessible, up-to-date, and authoritative examination of the world's most radical technology, neuroscientist and AI researcher Christopher Summerfield explores what it really takes to build a brain from scratch. We have entered a world in which disarmingly human-like chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Claude and Bard, appear to be able to talk and reason like us--and are beginning to transform everything we do. But can AI 'think', 'know' and 'understand'? What are its values? Whose biases is it perpetuating? Can it lie and if so, could we tell? Does their arrival threaten our very existence? These Strange New Minds charts the evolution of intelligent talking machines and provides us with the tools to understand how they work and how we can use them. Ultimately, armed with an understanding of AI's mysterious inner workings, we can begin to grapple with the existential question of our age: have we written ourselves out of history or is a technological utopia ahead?"--
