ChatGPT just interviewed Type4_PTS and encouraged him to write a book!

I had a question I was going to post but just asked google and got an answer.

AI Overview

Yes, AI can "read" a paper book, but it requires human intervention to digitize the book first. Once digitized, AI can process the text to provide summaries, answer questions, and even create study guides. Some AI tools can also read the text aloud using text-to-speech technology.

It's probably been mentioned that the only way to secure privacy from AI is hard copy documents. That still doesn't explain how AI seems able to get access to some non digitized documents. Maybe it gets pieces which have been digitized and puts them together?

If AI can opine on DMSMH and other scn topics they have been digitized?

Has some AI already "read" all public access scn blogs and forums? I suppose I can probe google further. . . . later

to add:

AI Overview

Yes, there is a finite, theoretical limit to data storage in AIs and all other physical systems, determined by the fundamental laws of physics, most notably the Bekenstein bound. This is a physical limit, not a current technological one. In practical terms, AI data storage capacity is limited by the amount of high-quality, human-generated data available on the internet for training, as well as current hardware, energy, and cost constraints.

I've successfully sent images to ChatGPT with text embedded, and ChatGPT had no problem reading it. AI requires human intervention to send the book's pages to the AI tool you're using, at least for now. Within several years, no human intervention should be necessary. Robots can already perform surgery successfully, so they should be able to take on this task as well.

Here is a demonstration of what I'm talking about. I just snipped a section of a blog post from Tony Ortega's Underground Bunker. This is the text I copied:

Since October 2023, Valerie Haney has been subjected to days and days of Scientology’s dubious “religious arbitration,” with no end in sight.

She sued Scientology in June 2019 over the way she was treated as a Sea Org worker, and for the “Fair Game” harassment she endured after leaving the organization.

But because she had signed an exit agreement when she left Scientology that included an arbitration clause, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that she had no right to sue and would have to submit her claims to Scientology’s own brand of internal arbitration.

In the years we’ve been writing about this story, we repeatedly hear from observers — and even lawyers — who are stunned that during these sessions Scientology gets to set all the rules, including that Valerie cannot bring an attorney with her, or record the session on her smartphone, or even have a transcript made.

Her ordeal began on October 16, 2023, when she sat for three days of arbitration at Scientology’s printing plant in the City of Commerce. We wrote about those three days for the Daily Beast, as Valerie and her legal team recorded statements from her at the end of each day in our presence.
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I then took a picture of the text, turning it into an image file (JPG). I uploaded the image to ChatGPT and asked: "What is this about in the image file?"

It took ChatGPT 10 or 15 seconds to output this:

This image is an excerpt from an article about Valerie Haney’s ongoing legal ordeal with the Church of Scientology.
Here’s a summary of what it describes:
Context
Valerie Haney, a former Sea Org member and aide to Scientology leader David Miscavige, sued the Church of Scientology in June 2019. Her lawsuit centered on her treatment while in the Sea Org and the “Fair Game” harassment she says she endured after leaving the organization.
Forced Religious Arbitration
Because Haney had signed an exit agreement that included an arbitration clause, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that she could not take her case to civil court. Instead, she was forced into Scientology’s internal “religious arbitration” — a process that critics say is highly biased and designed to protect the organization rather than provide justice.
The passage notes that:
  • The arbitration began in October 2023 and has dragged on for months.
  • Scientology controls all the rules of the process:
    Haney cannot have an attorney present, cannot record sessions, and no transcripts are permitted.
  • This system leaves her with virtually no external accountability or transparency.
Media Coverage
The text references that Haney’s ordeal — including three initial days of arbitration starting October 16, 2023, held at Scientology’s printing plant in the City of Commerce — was covered in a Daily Beast article. The reporters followed her progress and documented her statements at the end of each arbitration day.
In short, this image highlights how Scientology uses “religious arbitration” to block ex-members’ lawsuits, forcing them into secretive proceedings run entirely by the Church — a major point of public and legal controversy.
 
I have turned the tables on AI....and use it to get what I want.

If I see a Sydney Sweeney picture, on the web, I like it.

Upon liking it, that site and others, will shower me with endless Sydney Sweeney pictures....

I can't believe how many there are....it will keep me busy for awhile.

I asked ChatGPT: "Where are the best pictures of Sydney Sweeney?"

Here was the answer:

I was questioning what might be limitations to AI. Just speaking of books, tens of millions of books worldwide have not been digitized. I suppose a million busy ass robots could "flip the pages" and read them but that seems unlikely. I guess it's part of the AI supremacy race to see who can input the most data.

Likewise my question about limitations of storage capacity which is also part of the race.

Here was the answer:
Yikes - 12,000 plus Getty Images and 800 plus videos. No wonder AI eats so much electricity

On the news today it said there was dismal participation in some climate summit which was a big hit while Biden was President. The pendulum might swing back to the climate doomsday crowd worried about emissions from huge AI power plants.
