Ion Iliescu, about Chat GPT: He also says what he finds in the databases, but makes interesting connections
Former President Ion Iliescu spoke with humor, in an interview granted last year to the blogger “Adevarul”, Ionuț Vulpescu, about Chat GPT and artificial intelligence, saying that he is quite sure that he could like it, because he makes interesting connections.
Ion Iliescu said humorously that he might like GPT chat, given his inclination towards technology
“I have to tell you, to amuse ourselves, people near me asked him What he thinks I could think of him. And his response (Na Chatgpt) was that given my orientation to technology, it is quite certain that I could like it. Therefore, he earned my confidence. He also says what he finds in the databases, but makes interesting connections. For example, in the question what the good things we did, found five: Romania's transition to democracy; political stabilization after a period of chaos; the reform from a centralized planned economy to a market -oriented economy; The modernization of the infrastructure and the increase of social involvement, with an emphasis on the development of a pluripartidist political environment. I am quite satisfied, not only the answers, but also their top. However, I prefer a human interlocutor, I notice that this artificial intelligence does not have the sense of humor. One more thing, they asked him and what is the best reply in my speeches. Curiously, he chose one that is not part of the speeches worked, but of the spontaneous, free, tension, 1990s: “I ask you to trust tomorrow, in the wisdom of our people.”
If artificial intelligence has acknowledged that the exhortation to trust is the best, then it is clear to me that it is defeated by something that only us, as human beings, we can have in our rare moments of lucidity: the full leave of our lives in the other's hands, with hope. In 1980, a book that was given to me appeared in Tokio and to which I also gave some pages from my reading journal, a volume of Yoneji Masuda, the computer society, a post-industrial society. Since 1972, it was spoken at the Japanese Institute for the development of computers, about the “Plan for a computer society”, a national objective for 2000: two objectives have conquered me and found them formidable.
The first, the Computopolis plan, an experimental computer city, $ 1170 billion project; Second, a Peace Corp computer. They believed in what turned out to be a reality: the computer age, a calm social transformation, which will produce a neo-renewal, globalism, focused on participatory, synergistic and creative knowledge. A democracy in which among the fundamental values, intimacy – was even spoken of the “Copernican Tower of Intimacy” – will be crucial, and in which progress will be guaranteed by computing – the relationship between computers and innovative technology. It must be understood that the computer civilization is all the work of Homo Sapiens and that it will not disappear from the middle. The Japanese bet this was: the 21st century will not be of a material civilization, but of the invisible society, so of the virtual civilization. I leave you to think about whether the European bet for the twentieth century will be as loud“, Said the former president in the interview given to former Minister of Culture Ionuț Vulpescu, blogger” Adevarul “.
