<div dir="auto">Very smart to put my question re: CEOs vs AI to
ChatGPT. My question regarded “medium and long-term”
capabilities. Your query to the bot was for the present time.
And yet, nevertheless, I interpret the bot’s response to you to
be, essentially, that there are certain CEO positions that AI
capability can fill right now - with some qualifications. I’d
say that’s a bit disrupting.</div>

<p>And we could hope that CEOs everywhere are in fact already asking
ChatGPT, et alia to "help" them with some of the problems they
maybe believe that they might/could/should be able to help with?
I'm guessing *some* CEOs have amazing admins or executive teams at
their elbow already doing this, and some of them will consult the
AI-Oracle and thereby become *better* at their jobs quickly?</p>
<p>Since some of us here (not me) make their living coding daily, I
can imagine that your code is already being improved. A close
colleague of mine who does in fact code daily but is also
something of a skeptic of the *hype* around AI gave over two weeks
ago and began experimenting. He claims that it doesn't really
help him *write* code but it does help him verify it in ways that
a "first reader" might, but that a compiler wouldn't (raising the
level of analysis form syntactic to semantic?).</p>
<p>Glen already exposed us to a text summarizer and I find this to
be a good use of ChatGPT for myself... perhaps I should run all
my FriAM posts through it and see if it can succinctify me? As
thus?!:<br>

It suggests that CEOs may already be using AI to improve their job performance. The conversation also touches on how AI can improve coding by verifying it in ways a compiler cannot. Finally, the exchange mentions using ChatGPT as a text summarizer to make posts more concise.</span></i></p>

<div>I tried to get Bard to talk with me about the
adjacent possible (AP) the other day. It agreed
that the AP could not be represented as a
mathematical set, but it continued to talk about
the AP as if it were a set. So it suggested
formulating the AP as a graph, or a tree, or as
the states of a dynamical system. I pushed for a
non-set formalism and it gave me fuzzy sets. I
guess I have to try harder.</div>
