From the EIB Network to the “AI” B Network: Would You Listen to Rush GPT?

” We can recover him. We have the systems. We may improve his situation. Better … stronger … faster”. —TV’s” The Six Million Dollar Male”

If you have n’t been paying attention to the chatbot AI revolution, then shame on you. It is the most important and coolest technological advancement since the World Wide Web’s creation in 1989, without even a hint of hyperbole. Do n’t dismiss it as” spellcheck on steroids” or a cheap, inconsequential, word-generating party trick, this is huge. It’ll come down in history as one of humankind’s most significant discoveries.

The Industrial Revolution first appeared a few hundred years before. Our contemporary world was built from the bottom up, thanks to advances in human shipping, including the assembly line, and increased complexity. And within just a few generations, we went from donkeys and disobedience to Lamborghinis and high-rises. By every plausible measurement, the Industrial Revolution altered the course of our society. Since the finding of crops ten thousand years ago, it has been the biggest catalyst for social change.

Because, with the robot trend, we’re at the edge of a novel era – an Intellectual Revolution– where intellect itself is mass-produced, mass-utilized, and instantaneously available to anyone with an Internet connection. We’re not that far apart from an app on your phone being your doctor, your lawyer, your accountant, your marketing director, your waiter, your personal coach, your counselor, your career manager, your dermatologist, and your teacher.

If you thought the Industrial Revolution was considerable, only rush’ til you see the Intellectual Revolution.

Even though, in reality, they are radically different from everything that preceded it, we always try to make analogies between new and old things like” The Internet is kinda like TV or the newspaper” or” Social media is kinda like party lines” or” Chatbots are just an improved version of predictive text.” But that’s how our brains works: We need a measuring stick.

Without it, we’re lost.

And so, we struggle to find a suitable evaluation for today’s AI, because there’s never been anything like this on earth Earth: We’ve actually built a system that’s capable of brilliant idea. They’re now generating tale solutions to difficult problems. Assuming this systems is flexible, what’s coming through the pipelines will destroy almost every industry.

Orion that can mimic voices are now available. Additionally, we have artificial intelligence ( AI ) that can capture human behavior in original, photorealistic videos. And we’re just starting to build System that mimic the discourse habits, thought processes, and linguistic patterns of their content. Character. AI is one of many where you can” talk” with AI types of Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, Ben Franklin, and Alexander the Great… as well as AI types of Jesus Christ, Buddha, Satan, L. Ron Hubbard, and perhaps God Himself. &nbsp,

Scarlett Johansson, an actress, threatened legal action after Chat GPT” stole” her words for one of its chatbots, and George Carlin’s house went to war with the comedians who used AI to create a “new” comedy special for George Carlin. ( Before it was stricken from the ‘ Online, I listened to AI Carlin. Full disclosure: I love George Carlin, have seen him dwell, and consider him the greatest up of all time. And this fresh music was … very good. Not on the degree of Carlin’s most precious work, but it was astonishingly powerful. And *chef’s kiss* for AI George’s line about how screwed 7-11 would’ve been if September 11 came two months earlier. )

George Carlin had an incredibly long job, but in terms of overall information, it’s infinitesimal compared to Limbaugh’s. El Rushbo broadcast three time per day, five days per week for ten years. Whole directories exist of Rush Limbaugh’s exhibits, which his house still owns. Bots need information to educate on, with Limbaugh, they’d have all the information they need – and then some. &nbsp,

So, it’s technologically possible to turn the EIB Network into the” Artificial” B Network.

The question is, do you talk?

Admittedly, it would n’t be the same as if he were still alive. And yes, Rush’s revival and deliberately putting words in his mouth has a frightening quality. &nbsp,

However, this is where tech is going. &nbsp,

In a few years, you’ll be able to lock in the names of many celebrities – living and dead – and make them speak brand-new songs, seem in videos, or produce unique content. Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Frank Sinatra are all known to have been the subject of numerous YouTube videos of players who have passed away singing songs they never really sang. &nbsp,

Often, the amateur-level AI adjustments are horrible. But not always. Often, it’s shockingly beautiful… and the tech is going to keep getting better and better. Right then, this is the worst it’s always going to be.

The first iPhone was truly groundbreaking, but it also lacked an App Store, could n’t copy and paste, could n’t text in landscape mode, could n’t text photos, lacked maps or driving apps, no Siri, no GPS, could n’t film videos, no front camera, and only had a 2 megapixel back camera. When compared to a dirt-cheap, cheap handset today, the original phone was bullshit.

But it served as a warning of what was about to happen. &nbsp,

As are tomorrow’s bots.

In theory, Rush Limbaugh could rise from the dead and fun his cynics one more time. And his supporters would be beyond thrilled to hear him speak once more about Kamala Harris, the 2024 battle, and the world’s crazyness, and to talk about Limbaugh with our children and grandchildren. An AI version of Rush, done right, would be the best tribute to America’s Truth Detector, our Doctor of Democracy, and America’s Anchorman: An continuing legacy that continues to teach “young skulls full of mush” and advertise the traditional beliefs that defined him.

I’d adore it if Rush roared once more and the EIB Network switched to the” AI” B Network. His absence still hurts, the vacuum he left was never filled. &nbsp,

But as a fan, I also suspect he would n’t support it. &nbsp,

Rush Limbaugh would want us to think for ourselves. Rather than being pleased that we’re still turning to him for guidance, I think he’d be saddened. Asking an algorithm to speak for him or think for us is contrary to the Limbaugh ethos, which Rush championed the conservative principles of rugged individualism and self-determination.

” My point is, do n’t worry about AI, do n’t worry about Siri taking control of your car and driving you off a cliff”, advised Rush, in one of his final broadcasts. ” Do n’t worry about any of that. Worry about the artificial intelligence, the artificial education, and the mind-numbed robots that American education is creating today”.

Rush Limbaugh may no longer be here, but he left us with all the tools and knowledge. The Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies is still in operation, despite the fact that he may no longer be giving lectures. &nbsp,

Now, it’s our turn to do the teaching.
