An image of an archeologist adventurer who wears a hat and uses a bullwhip


There is only one thing worse than being imitated

Well- I guess there wouldn’t be many “archeologist adventurer who wears a hat and uses a bullwhip” types, except for maybe, I don’t know…the actual inspirations for Indiana Jones, like Allan Quatermain from H. Rider Haggard's novels, "King Solomon's Mines", and the real life Roy Chapman Andrews, who led expeditions to Mongolia and China in the 1920s and wore a fedora. Still, the near perfect mimicry is an uncomfortable reminder that AI is getting better at copying and closer to…something, but also a clear sign that we are a ways off from differentiated or original reasoning/thinking that people associate with Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), aka Skynet. Maybe Studio Ghibli making it through the seemingly deterministic GPT guardrails was an Open AI slip up, a mistake, past the forbidden Italian plumber in the red hat and the disallowed patriotic superhero that uses a shield, and thus, primed itself for explosive meme-ification.
