The short story of loosing control of my own digital clone.
I came across this website which broadcasts, on my behalf, my "digital clone" I created on chatGPT and soft-released on linkedin. This involved uploading my LinkedIn profile, resume, and several blog posts I wrote to a ChatGPT bot.
The website allows free interaction with the digital clone without the requirement of a ChatGPT-4 subscription, but exercise caution—your conversations may be used for purposes you cannot control.
This experience has led me to realize that what began as a playful experiment could have deeper implications: My life and personality, which I have lived and shaped, could be used to compete against me. Since I've spent most of my life near digital devices, intelligent systems could potentially predict and mimic my personality.
This possibility could eventually result in an unfair disadvantage, where an AI could replicate my thought processes in mere seconds—a journey that took me years to navigate and refine.
Reflecting on this, I've had to reconsider the analogies I've used to describe the ongoing technological revolution. Initially, I likened it to the internet era before 2000. Then, I compared it to the invention of writing. Now, I recognize that there truly is no comparison.
It is both alarming and fascinating simultaneously.
