Artificial Intelligentsia

An interdisciplinarian perspective

By: Bob Seeman

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

With the release of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, artificial intelligence – or AI – became all the rage.

This book includes important quotations about AI by the Artificial Intelligentsia, people from many different academic disciplines who also understand other disciplines. The Artificial Intelligentsia have the Interdisciplinarian Perspective: they come, not just from technology backgrounds, but also from philosophy, art, language, writing, entertainment, astronomy, science, and business. The quotations illustrate how advances with AI will continue to result from the Artificial Intelligentsia who possess the Interdisciplinarian Perspective.

Many of the Interdisciplinarians quoted in this book disagree on many fundamental issues surrounding AI, including on the whether AI will improve the lives of humans – or destroy humans forever.

Each quotation is followed by a funny limerick – written by the human author of this book. AI does not yet have a funny bone. Rest assured that humans will be making funnier limericks than AI for a very long time.
