Today we just had a masterclass with Nicole Yershon on humans seeing as technology. As she worked with those technologies and we talked a lot about Chat GPT this week, I wanted to ask its point of view.

Here is our discussion: 

Juliette: Hey, do you think humans can be seen as technology? 

Chat GTP: Yes, in a sense humans can be seen as a form of technology. Humans have created and developed tools, systems, and processes that have allowed us to manipulate and shape our environment to meet our needs and desires. Additionally, we have enhanced our physical and cognitive abilities through various means such as prosthetics, medicines, and education. So, in this sense, humans could be considered as a technology that has evolved over time through various means of improvement and enhancement.

Juliette: As humans created all the technologies, can’t we say that humans are the most developed technology?  

Chat GPT: Yes, that can be argued. Humans have created a wide range of technologies, from simple tools to complex systems, that have allowed us to manipulate and control the world around us. In that sense, humans can be seen as the most developed technology, as we have the ability to create and improve upon other technologies. Furthermore, humans have also made significant advancements in fields such as medicine, engineering, and science that have allowed us to enhance our physical and cognitive abilities, making us even more capable of creating and utilizing technology. Thus, it is reasonable to view humans as the most advanced technology created thus far.

Juliette: Don’t you think that humans are too focused on the technologies they have and forget to know themselves better? Not in the scientific sense, but more about who they truly are, individually. 

Chat GPT: Yes, that’s a valid point. In our modern society, technology has become an integral part of our daily lives and has made many aspects of our lives easier and more convenient. However, this increased reliance on technology can also lead to a situation where people spend more time interacting with devices and screens than with each other or themselves, and neglect their own personal growth and well-being.

It’s important for individuals to take time to reflect on their values, goals, and purpose, and to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. This self-reflection can help people lead a more fulfilling life and make more meaningful connections with others. In short, while technology has many benefits, it’s important for individuals to strike a balance between utilizing technology to enhance their lives and taking time to understand themselves and their relationships with others.

Juliette: well as we both agree on that I’ll stop talking to technologies and I might go talk to someone, a real someone. 

Chat GPT: Yes, spending time with real people and building meaningful relationships is important for personal growth and well-being. Interacting with others face-to-face, having conversations, and engaging in activities together can help you develop stronger bonds and deeper connections with others, which can lead to a more fulfilling life. Technology can be a useful tool for staying connected with others and sharing experiences, but it should not replace the value of human interaction and connection. So, it’s a good idea to take breaks from technology and spend time with others in person.
