      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an <a href="https://www.econtalk.org/kevin-kelly-on-advice-ai-and-technology/">interview</a> with Russ Roberts on EconTalk, author and futurist <a href="https://kk.org">Kevin Kelly</a> convincingly suggests that we should treat AIs like Midjourney and ChatGPT as alien intelligences (in a non-spooky way):</p>

<blockquote><p>I&#39;ve been using the AI image generators for a year now, every day making AI art and they have different personalities...</p>

<p>But in every case, they&#39;re alien—the way that they do things because they&#39;re running on a different substrate than, than what we run on.</p>

<p>Their creativity is legitimate. It&#39;s really creative, but it&#39;s off, it&#39;s different than us. It&#39;s different, it&#39;s alien. They have a slightly different alien way of doing it. And that is, it&#39;s true benefit.</p>

<p>That&#39;s the main reason why they&#39;re valuable is because they&#39;re not doing it like humans. When they start to do proofs, they&#39;re not gonna do it like a human does it.</p>

<p>If they have/when they have consciousness, it&#39;ll be slightly different. It will be akimbo from us because it&#39;s running on a whole different thing. It&#39;s different latencies in all different ways in which is gonna be different. And that is its benefit.</p></blockquote>
