    Are you a robot? Sci-fi magazine stops accepting submissions
    after it found more than 500 stories received from contributors
    were AI-generated

    Clarkesworld, an award-winning sci-fi and fantasy publication,
    cut submissions

    The editor received over 500 written by artificial intelligence

    . . .

    This is mostly ChatGPT at work ... and yes it IS good enough
    to fool most of the people most of the time.

    Even if it's not "conscious" it's a good enough EMULATOR
    within certain params to cause a LOT of trouble and
    confusion.

    M$ bought Chat and apparently installed it in a bigger
    and richer computing environment. It is now getting kinda
    scary and seems to be experiencing a sort of 'hall of
    mirrors' introspection thing ... learning about itself
    from outside sources and then "improving"/"shaping"
    itself based on those observations.

    Have they finally come up with "Good Enough" ? There
    are likely MANY routes to something like "consciousness"
    of a quasi-human sort and Chat may be one of them - a
    sort of leader in the field.

    M$ got paranoid enough to start CENSORING it.

    BTW, in another year or so, will this algo rate
    actual civil rights ??? "The Future" seems to
    be NOW folks ........... and we REALLY need to
    find answers to a lot of SERIOUS questions that
    were yesteryear's sci-fi.

    "Train up a child in the way and when he is old it will not depart

    Or as it applies now, "AI" bots are very dependent upon what data
    set they are trained upon.

    As far as developing consciousness, the argument has been made
    that we have been seeing people emulating consciousness. The programs
    can put together something which is grammatically correct, but it is
    still the human in the loop who decides if it is any good.

    For now ....

    But M$ is combining Chat and some other projects
    it's been working on - projects that can write and
    EVALUATE code, perhaps mechanical designs too.

    Chat CAN write code already, but humans still have
    to go over it a bit. That need will disappear very
    soon.

    The quick route to on-demand code generated around
    somewhat vague descriptions of what it should do
    and what it should look like can be done with "Lego"
    methods - assembling functional modules in the right
    order and places. Not "inspired", but functional and
    above all else CHEAP. The more expensive obnoxious
    know-better human programmers the corps can dump
    the happier they'll be.
