Since Chat GPT appeared late last year the number of articles, videos, news items and panel discussions on the subject of AI has had a nearly exponential growth trajectory.
The vast majority of them have boiled down to one simple statement: "some low-level clerical functions are possibly going to be impacted negatively, sometime in the distant future".
GPT 4 has already passed the US bar exam with a 90th percentile score.
It hit me just a few minutes ago, in my entire life I have never heard so many people whistling past so many graveyards in such a short span of time.
Just to see if I really knew what "whistling Past The Graveyard" means, I asked GPT Enabled BING.
Here is that dialogue.
"What does 'whistling past the graveyard' mean"?
"According to Merriam-Webster1, “whistling past the graveyard” is an informal idiom that means to act or talk as if one is not afraid or nervous when one is actually facing a threat or problem. It can also mean to enter a situation with little or no understanding of the possible consequences. It is mainly used in the US. For example, someone who is whistling past the graveyard might say “I’m sure everything will be fine” when they are actually worried about something bad happening. Or someone who is whistling past the graveyard might decide to do something risky without considering the potential outcomes. The origin of this idiom is uncertain, but it may be related to the idea of whistling to bolster one’s courage when passing by a scary place like a graveyard".
