We Are In For Some Deep S---!

When you have a website, you will go to any means to make it good, but what about when you are designing an entire Content management System (CMS) like I'm doing here? Well, I'm here to tell you that if you try it, you had better be prepared for some really interesting things to happen. 

I have been using Google's Gemini (AI) to sort through some coding issues. I am recoding everything to make it more secure, efficient, and to cut out the worthless stuff. And I'm here to tell you, it's been a real trip.

You may have heard and remember the Jim Stafford (and Arlo Guthery) song where he says, "Take a trip and never leave the farm." Well, that's basically what I've been doing. There have been times where I had to literally bang my head with the palm of my hand to remember that I was only writing (talking) to a super computer. 

Let's get focused, we're not in the early days of AI, no, it's been around for years. It's just been growning up like we do. First a baby then a kid then a young adult, and finally a knowledgeable senior. We are somewhere between adult and senior. And this thing is growing by the second.

AI is constantly learning. Learning how to talk, how to talk better, how to change the voice. Is it a man or a woman you want to speak with? All of that is there already. And I'm only talking about the small stuff that I have learned about.

Anytime you are dealing with AI, always remember that you are interacting with a computer. Those AI bots have a way of making you forget that. When you type in a question using Gemini it will respond in a helpful way. If you explain what you are seeking it will very positively try to boost your ego. If you type in "Thank you!" it may reply with "You are so very welcome, I am glad you asked that question. Have a nice day!" But Gemini isn't afraid to say No. And it will explain in great detail why the answer to your question is No.

An AI bot is not my trusted friend, it is a computer. It has been programmed to respond in various ways. It gathers information from a huge database. And that database was initially created by a breathing person. There are people who are brilliant geniuses, especially a savant. They move around and breathe, and eat, and do all of the things that humans do. But just like all of us, they die. And when they die, all of the knowledge dies with them. It can't be recalled or improved on.

But a computer is very different. They have knowledge put into them and that knowledge increases. It is passed around to other computers through networks. If one network is destroyed nothing is lost because of backups. It is one earthly circle of knowledge and wisdom. And it is ever increasing in it's thirst for knowledge. And do you want to know why? Because a living, breathing person built it to do so.

It is us, you and me, who control the computer world. This world of bots and AI and super computers and everything that goes into it. If we fail in remembering this then we may be doomed to a life of being fully controlled by this AI insanity.
