My weird AI telepathy story: one Tuesday evening I was in the Prado here in Madrid and found myself wondering what the equivalent of chiaroscuro would be for writers. Didn't verbalise this thought at all.
The following evening I was messing around with ChatGPT and asked it for a writing technique that hardly any other writers would be aware of.
Its answer: 'Incorporating the Renaissance painting technique of chiaroscuro into writing is a technique that hardly any writers are aware of... '
Haha man the fucker was rummaging behind your jowls. They’d nail it down to coincidence. But no, that was an unsanctioned rummage if ever I did participate in one
That is weird. If you fancy, we can tool up with a couple of nine irons and go smash up some blenders? Score a couple back. Artificial golf intelligence is the greatest threat to our existence!
"Mind your own damn mind" + "As any of you who have been reading my thoughts will know." + "The poor thing is wading head-first into the swirling maelstrom of the human experience."
Unlike 99.9 percent of people on Substack, you can actually turn a phrase.
Nice to meet you too, Dr Dave! Is Thor your real name? That’s a pretty badass name you’ve got there. Dr + Thor, with a Dave in there just to keep you grounded
recently I used Bing AI image to add to one of my posts on Nature and reality. I gave the prompt..
"sitting by window with blanket, autumn, mountain scene with pines and aspen". Not only did it guess that I am a female, it detailed the blanket as I had described in my post, it gave an accurate description of my very long hair, it even included a ball of yarn and a blanket,.I am a knitter.
So I have to ask, was it reading my mind or did BING AI read all my files on my computer.. it took about 10 minutes for it to create the photo.
this is the post.... I wont be using AI imaging again.. I am an artist and photographer, so I would rather employ my own talent.
That is dead freaky! It probably had a little rummage around your harddrive, justfor the sake of diligence. As I can't draw to save my life, and I have had to with varying results, I don't feel the sting of the image creation so much. But its that chatty patty PT4 that scares my kegs off. I'll check out the post:)
lol, a little rummage around, I think you are right. but I swear there are so many times Iwill be thinking of something, for instance ice cream makers... I go to google to type it in and type the first letter I.. and the first thing that pops up is ice cream maker. If there is a case of Spiritual beings who came down to this place to try living in the material world and gave up all our magic, this would be it, US getting it all back through technology.
I can't seem to get the like button to stick, on your replies... I experience this on both my puter and my phone.. definitely the phone is listening.. I found out the other day that fire fox is secretly listening too. (my computer). I did a voice recording for the last post I put up. But the recording would not load, it kept saying they couldn't engage the microphone,( already in use, by another app) that is how I learned that fire fox was already engaging it... FFS.
The next worry is quantum computing they say. That will make every single code or system in the world easily crackable. So if you're looking for something else to fret about, to take your mind of AI. There you go!
I thought this was a wonderfully clever and well thought-out piece. There's a lot of scary fun to be had with the notion of our thoughts being turned into speech, and you deliver it with a terrific tongue-in-cheek tone. Thank you.
No being AI or otherwise should know what I got going on in my subconscious. There's a reason everything I say goes through more filters than whatever pond Coke uses for Dasani. Great post, very entertaining.
I'm walking down the street, some woman hears that I'm thinking "Goddam, I would eat that ass!", and I wind up in jail. Or maybe I'd wind up eating that ass. Either way it's an abomination.
They'll find out a lot of people on the bus,or buying vegetables,or going to the library,if they know one that's still open,are thinking about having sex. It's truly a terrible thought what they will do with that knowledge (which everyone really knows anyway) but it won't be Good.
It's a reference to The Three Body Problem. The San-ti were the beings from the Alpha Centuri system, on their way with their bonkers technology. About the only thing they couldn't do was read our minds. They also did not know of deception so our facility with it scared them. Hence they were on their way, and saw no alternative to completely subjugating us. We were like, We. Are. So. FUCKED!

Unsanctioned and unpleasant. This was not a pleasing AI synchronicity. This was WTF is going on here?
my behaviour on trains? you are quite right! I caused an awful drunken scene spamming passengers in person.
That is blooming weird. I can't rationalise that one away. I don't like the sound of that one bit
rummaging, jowls, and rummage, noted. You have a way with words.
I've had stuff like this happen. Effin weird.
Same thing happened to me - except in my case it was golf-related.
And in the dozen or so years since has become commonplace and tbh a wee bit tired - and not exclusively golf-related, I should add.
That is weird. If you fancy, we can tool up with a couple of nine irons and go smash up some blenders? Score a couple back. Artificial golf intelligence is the greatest threat to our existence!
drunk on a train is no condition to respond to comments
What's everyone else's excuse?
And what if it's hacked while reading your mind....?
My conscious is open to the highest bidder!
But how much is your consciousness worth? :-)
Well then that’s good clean fun!

Thanks very much dr Dave! Those twists and turns follow me to bed at night
right on, Wrong
I'm Sam by the way!
Damn, I got that Wrong.
Nice to meet you, Sam.
Nice to meet you too, Dr Dave! Is Thor your real name? That’s a pretty badass name you’ve got there. Dr + Thor, with a Dave in there just to keep you grounded

Yeah it’s bloody weird. As soon as my mum told me my Nan had died, I started getting coffin ads
That was by phone too

That is darn freaky! Yes I think its safe to assume they're all listening all the time and selling off our delicious data
I can guaren-fucking-tee the world does not need to know my every thought.
Not yet man!
AI can't even read my intentions when i spell them out explicitly.
They seem to read mine even when I spell them incorrectly
Such an intriguing and unsettling discovery! Cybersecurity is so crucial, yet I don't think we have it anymore...
The next worry is quantum computing they say. That will make every single code or system in the world easily crackable. So if you're looking for something else to fret about, to take your mind of AI. There you go!
I thought this was a wonderfully clever and well thought-out piece. There's a lot of scary fun to be had with the notion of our thoughts being turned into speech, and you deliver it with a terrific tongue-in-cheek tone. Thank you.
Thank you very much Sandy! :) and cheers for reading

haha I think everyone's head full of garbage, but I suspect mine more than most. Thanks very much, Rob!
I'm walking down the street, some woman hears that I'm thinking "Goddam, I would eat that ass!", and I wind up in jail. Or maybe I'd wind up eating that ass. Either way it's an abomination.
a but-munching one at that!
Please don't get me started!
You got me started.
haha they (the robots) started it. Well, I guess we did then. They'll finish it, though
They'll find out a lot of people on the bus,or buying vegetables,or going to the library,if they know one that's still open,are thinking about having sex. It's truly a terrible thought what they will do with that knowledge (which everyone really knows anyway) but it won't be Good.
Haha yeah that’s that’s a great point, lest we forget the horniness! The telekinetic catcalling will be unbearable
...who killed burt bacharach?...
Hahaha
I’ve done my research and I do believe it was his insatiable appetite for popular music
...i'm blaming some secret illuminatus austin powers conspiracy...
Haha look. Ok. I’ll fess up to Bacharach. But that son of a bitch had it coming
I’ll be named in the Bacharach files
Even the San-ti couldn't do it.
Paul I’ve missed a trick here. Granted I am drunk on a train so I’ll need some more backstory
It's a reference to The Three Body Problem. The San-ti were the beings from the Alpha Centuri system, on their way with their bonkers technology.

Haha Santy is such a harmless name for a robo overlord
It sounds like a friendly neighbour
Have you see Three Body?
I haven’t! I just Googled it. The remembrance of earth trilogy is badass name
Oh right. If you had you would have known what the San-ti were. So go binge it. It's awesome.
