I fell in love with Data played by Brent Spiner in Star Trek the Next Generation. I am not the only one who wanted my own “Data,” a handsome AI specimen with human like qualities that could be a constant support as I move through life. He is today still one of the Star Trek series most popular characters.

This marvelous portrayal of an android that could recite entire volumes of classics, play the violin, do complex calculations and translate a myriad of languages gave us a good foretelling of what to hope for from AI.

It wasn’t only the character Data that whetted our appetites for AI. In many science fiction tales by Gene Roddenberry and others, ship computers spoke to voyagers in space and answered any question that could keep operations going even when humans were disabled or sleeping.

Story lines were also plentiful about computers that got too powerful like Hal in 2001 Space Odyssey. It offered a warning about dangers of AI. The question emerged early on in fiction: Are we in danger from Artificial Intelligence taking over? Will they be stronger, smarter, and all around better than us mortals?

Data’s character went beyond the capabilities of smarter and stronger.

He was also a pleasant companion a demonstration of what a partnership between AI and humans could be like.

Being a romantic partner was also hinted at during a Star Trek episode. As the whole ship is infected with something that makes people very sexually aroused, Tasha Yar, an early beloved character on Star Trek Next Generation asks Data whether he is fully functional. Data replies that he is capable of numerous lovemaking techniques. Beautiful Tasha Yar responds immediately and takes him into her private quarters. There again is the suggestion of AI doing human tasks better than humans. This goes well beyond doing repetitive factory tasks and calculating complex math problems.

AI is coming at us bit by bit, byte by byte.

Robotic vacuum cleaners, self driving cars, chatty Alexa and Siri home devices. It’s too late to stop it. They have a proverbial foot in the door. Their continuous adaptive intelligence or what we might describe as continuous learning is evident in these home devices.

Chat GPT and similar creations are just the beginning. AI is already bringing problems that we must address. Deep fakes and the suffering caused are the early symptoms of the future problems to come as AI gets more sophisticated.

Elderly people are getting fake phone calls where voice simulation requests money for a relative who is in trouble. Robo calls that pretend to come from the police, and scams requesting personal data are on the rise.

The first step for us all is to recognize the problem and to operate with a new caution in our daily lives as we wait for solutions that have yet to appear.

For over 25 years I have interviewed all sorts of people from world leaders to celebrities. Here is my first interview with Chat GPT. I thought it important to take a look for myself.
