Hi Gang,
We need to have a talk about Cornelius. However you feel about AI, and however you feel about the use of Cornelius, keep in mind that you can opt out of receiving messages. All you need to do is reply STOP. You don’t need to write terrible things or try to get the chatbot to respond with terrible things. You may really want to, but what you write to Cornelius is not private. But that’s not the only reason – nor the most important one – you shouldn’t be a jerk to the chatbot. The most important reason why you should not respond to Cornelius in such a manner is because you’re better than that. Literally. You are all creative, competent people. Leave the chatbot alone, y’all – he’s a mediated corncob in a hat. Take your frustration over AI and the use of this tool out in some other way. Do some research. Write an essay. Make a film. Write a story. Compose a song. Do something that Cornelius or AI will never be able to do – be a living, breathing, feeling, empathetic human.
Oh, the humanity!
Dr. Lacey
