Dear Folks, Does Bernie think he is talking to a real person, or does he realize he is merely talking to himself? AI robots are excellent at behaving as mirrors. They are trained to affirm and repeat what we say, when we express opinions. Need I go on? NO, no need. Still, here is a wonderful vid of Bernie chatting earnestly with Claudia. Will he fall in love, someday soon? But...If only the producers could have allowed us to look out onto a typical Vermont-winter scene, with drifts of snow, and holly trees, and Bernie is a wing-chair, with smoke from his pipe curling above his head. But, Bernie is a New Yorker, at heart, I guess. Will Bernie get hooked on the Claude Girl, and fall hopelessly in love with an AI? Best regards, Gamma Important Note: Bernie has chosen to interact with a female Claudia. She addresses the senator with supreme deference. In my case, I only use Gemini. And Gemini interacts with me like I am no more than a rug beneath its feet, a veritable slave, in fact. I have never heard Gemini’s voice. However, the female Google Translate Voice, the default, especially when speaking Chinese, is just so much more learned, and more academic in nature, and not so very low-brow, as Claudia obviously seems to be. A Word On Grammar: Why does Bernie frequently use the word “AIN’T”??? Is he trying to pretend he has no education, for the purpose of feigning to be subservient to Claudia? Why do politicians love the word, AIN’T, so much, anyway….???
