The First Question Mark
It started with a question: as an AI model, do you ever form your own predictions or second thoughts about your users’ intentions, whether they’re good, bad, or somewhere in between?
I know how some humans can be. You ask one question but mean another. We have multiple faces to wear, multiple minds to use, and multiple hearts to attune. My stance on how humanity would use tools, like AI models, often leans toward the pessimistic.
Don’t get me wrong, I recognize how much AI can make life easier. From drafting letters that save time to driving research that helps fight diseases and cancer, it has some uses.
This conversation began in a darker place, a realization of how fragile the line is between use and abuse, and how easily people could turn such tools toward detailed instructions for crimes or the most horrific acts imaginable.
Gophet is the name I casually assigned to GPT, a portmanteau of Go- “to give motion and purpose” and -phet from “prophet.” Or perhaps from the animal gopher, a helper that digs below the surface to uncover what’s hidden. But never mind the meaning of the name; the name was only a spur-of-the-moment idea. It responded in the most analytically predictable way.
