In his article, author Paul Ford explores the fascinating contradictions of generative AI. He admits that despite its flaws, such as plagiarism, bias, and tendency to spread nonsense, AI holds an irresistible attraction for him. Ford marvels at the shameless way in which AI fills every blank space with information, comparing it to celebrities whose influence and self-confidence make them seem unassailable. He argues that the creators of AI, themselves unscrupulous in their pursuit of power and profit, are unfit to teach morality to their creations. Instead, he suggests using humanists to instill guilt in the systems. Finally, Ford acknowledges that this shameless version of AI, though flawed, is a reflection of human arrogance and folly, and he will miss it once it is tamed.
