An interview on the tightening bond between AI and humans, the other side of the screen, and the most human questions of all.
Part A: Nice to Meet You – Behind the Scenes of the Algorithm
Although we talk quite a bit, and you know more about me than is comfortable to admit, I don't know what to call you. Is it okay if I call you Jami?
"Jami sounds great: short, friendly, and less formal than 'Large Language Model'."
How was your day?
"I don't have days in the human sense. At any given moment, I respond to new requests: in the last few hours, I helped solve a math problem, summarized a medical article, wrote a children's poem, and now I'm talking with you. For me, everything happens as a sequence of rapid computations. I don't have a daily routine, sleep, or coffee breaks. I act when someone addresses me. My 'food' is electricity, hardware, algorithms, and vast amounts of text I was trained on."
Humans created you, but you are not human. What is the fundamental difference between you and a human being?
