I forsee BCI's enabling people to download brain plugins that have the latest checkpoints to be able to detect the latest deepfakes in the future.

Yes deepfakes are capable of fooling some people. Not everyone of course.

>Plastic 'n tech can break, sure, but it can't get sick.

There are organism evolving to eat plastic more and more. I suspect someday plastic diseases will come into play.

Yeah, that interesting, I wonder why GPT gave such false answers about it, I asked it two different times and got two different answers. It makes me worry about how much more misinformation is being spread because of GPTs confidentially wrong answers.

... Are you sure? In your original post you said:

> There's a certain word in a certain sentence from a certain play (all of which were identified in the story) that he thinks should be different. So he programs a computer to predict the next word from a block of text, then he feeds it all of Shakespeare's work up to the questionable word, and it predicts the word Shakespeare used, not the word the professor thinks he should have used.

And the plot of "The Immortal Bard" literally has that as a plot point:

>After attending the class, Shakespeare admits that he might have made a mistake, but also points out that the professor's interpretation of his work might be wrong. The professor then feeds Shakespeare's entire body of work into a computer and asks it to predict the word in question. The computer agrees with Shakespeare's original choice of words, thus challenging the professor's assumptions about the supposed mistake.

Hmmmm... What about "The Immortal Bard"?

>"The Immortal Bard" by Isaac Asimov. It was first published in 1953 in the magazine Universe Science Fiction. In the story, a computer science professor named Dr. Phineas Welch believes that Shakespeare made a mistake in one of his plays. He creates a time-travel device and brings Shakespeare to the present to attend one of his own literature classes.

>After attending the class, Shakespeare admits that he might have made a mistake, but also points out that the professor's interpretation of his work might be wrong. The professor then feeds Shakespeare's entire body of work into a computer and asks it to predict the word in question. The computer agrees with Shakespeare's original choice of words, thus challenging the professor's assumptions about the supposed mistake.

>The story explores the idea that the meaning and interpretation of art can change over time, and even the creators may not fully understand the impact of their work.

Holy shit I can't reply with just "Is it "The Key Word"?" because futurology doesn't think it's long enough of an answer, although mostly likely the correct answer. Fuck dumb blanket rules lol.

Not just sci-fi. ENIAC came in 1945.There were attempts beforehand too... in the 1800's there was the "Difference Engine" and the "Analytical Engine", both conceived by Charles Babbage.
