Robots are getting smarter and we are getting dumber

I suppose you have been playing these days with the ChatGPT artificial intelligence chat.

I have enough customer service phones to feel like I'm talking to walls.

But apparently this is better than walls.

Soon one of our daily occupations will be to distinguish what comes from artificial intelligence from what doesn't.

If it isn't already.

Because I think it's already among us.

How not to think about it if ChatGPT lies with total security and, if you catch him, even more.

It says one thing and the opposite.

There are plenty of examples, from Pedro Sánchez to Cuca Gamarra's relationship with Casado before and after he was charged ("Great interview. With clarity, seriousness and truth", and what follows).

They would have to convince me that some speeches by politicians or articles are not already made with a robot.

What Unidas Podemos says to criticize the reform of the law of the

, "it is to return to the penal code of the Pack", how is it going to occur to someone sensible?

No, man, they will have told a machine: simplify the matter as much as possible, it doesn't matter if it isn't true.

Or conservative columnists: make me a column against the government with the words sanchismo, megalomania, catastrophe and, to choose, Falcon, ETA members or rapists.

That's why it always comes out the same.

This little gadget moves better in the foreseeable.

The

even commissioned him a homily and he was not bad.

That is to say, he did not say anything, or nothing that we did not know, as they usually are.

We will have to manage in this chaos, but they make it more and more difficult.

Chinese show Wolf News fabricates fake news, but even the announcers are animations that look like people.

, Synthesia, Venezuelan television broadcasts troll videos presented by avatars.

You don't even need to buy journalists anymore, you don't even need balls.

An Israeli company sells disinformation services to influence elections (it has done so in 33), or defend the interests of oligarchs and shady countries, and slipped prefabricated videos to France's first 24-hour news channel (BFMTV).

Other companies make authentic information about these criminals, tycoons and countries disappear from the Internet.

That is to say, while on one side the truth comes out, more crap enters on the other.

What remains in the middle is such a concoction that the ingredients are no longer distinguishable.

I turn on my computer and a selection of news appears that seems chosen by a drunken chimpanzee dressed as editor-in-chief: Florida manatees, inane adventures of

, the shocking response of I don't know who in I don't know what program, the weather, stock prices, gossip, football and that's it.

People eat this ultra-processed information for breakfast, snack and dinner, and intelligent, well-travelled, well-read people pass you alarmed bullshit from the

unknown.

We are with artificial intelligence when many, to put it mildly, have not developed all the possibilities of theirs, or have it in airplane mode.

The robots are getting smarter and we are getting dumber.

It is also obvious that everything that is to write texts is in danger.

From what I've been in this profession, it's not hard for me to imagine layoffs of journalists if someone does worse and cheaper.

Reliable media, with humans if possible well paid, will be something as valuable as a virus vaccine, in the midst of enlightened anti-vaccination.

Said the great Dorothy Parker, writer and journalist: “Salary is not a problem.

I just want enough to keep my body and soul apart."
