This time, to promote my work ofwriter newly retired, I took up the same tool which, of course, greatly evolved. But now I had a personalized assistance for unlimited remote support. My interlocutor patiently answered all my questions, without ever getting annoyed, and guided me step by step until the completion of the site that you are reading.
Clearly, he had a firm grasp of the workings of the system and its advice were always wise—as long as they knew how to ask the right questions. And therein lay the problem: without going into detail, I spent several hours going around in circles on a specific point.
My interlocutor always had a answer to propose, but nothing worked... until something obvious struck me: I was looking for bad place. It was like asking a blind, who knows a home perfectly, to help you find an object; while realizing after a while that you are searching in the wrong room. Once this click occurred, everything became clear and the solution imposed itself, always with his help.
This led me to a reflection : why my remote assistant Didn't he notice that I was looking in the wrong place? Why didn't he also take the necessary step back to realize it? After all, why didn't he take ainitiative ?
I guess that a sensible person would have had the same reaction as me. But the most surprising thing about this story is that my interlocutor was not human. You probably understood, it was a AI, of a artificial intelligence.
Out of respect for this AI, who nevertheless did me a great service, I will not name her. She still has her limits, and this episode is not the only one where I came up against her faults. However, I subscribed to a subscription which gives me access to the most advanced version of these "sacred monsters" in which billions of dollars are invested.
In conclusion, the capabilities of the AI are impressive. But as soon as you get off the beaten track, you quickly find yourself confronted with a lack of lucidity of those terrible children who grow up too quickly, it seems to me.
My question remains: Is AI a big bad wolf that we should be afraid of?
