One interesting thing I’ve learned from “Sherry Tuckle’s Reclaiming Conversations” is that technology can actually make people avoid real conversations. She explains how people sometimes choose texting or using their phones because face to face conversations can feel uncomfortable or require more effort. I thought this was interesting because even though technology helps us stay connected, it can sometimes make our conversations less meaningful.
An interesting thing I’ve read from Ted Chiang’s “ChatGPT is a Blurry JPEG of the Web” is his comparison of ChatGPT to a blurry JPEG. He’s basically explains that ChatGPT can take a huge amount of information from the internet and creates something that looks like the original which basically duplicates it, but it’s not the exact copy. I thought this was interesting due to it helps explain why ChatGPT can sometimes give answers that sounds right but are actually incorrect.
