A Task ChatGPT Cannot Perform - BOOMER Magazine
With the advent of artificial intelligence, many people have become addicted to ChatGPT, a chatbot with the ability to produce detailed and correct answers to almost any question posed to it. However, humor writer, Greg Schwem, warns that AI can never replace certain nostalgic activities that bring people pure delight.
While AI chatbots like ChatGPT may be useful in various fields, it is unable to perform tasks that give people feelings of happiness and satisfaction, like dumping coins into a coin counting machine.
Schwem, who recently deposited his spare change from his glass goblet into a coin counting machine, was filled with joy as he watched the machine swirl the change and increase the digital counter. He reminisced about the days of his childhood, where he and his sister would sneak into the lobby of restaurants and stick their fingers into pay phone change return slots, hoping to find forgotten nickels or dimes.
He pointed out that such activities bring feelings of delight and satisfaction that AI could never replicate. Parents who still give their children allowances may want to consider giving them coins instead of sending them a Venmo notification. Letting them dump the coins into a sorter and watching their efforts being rewarded can bring smiles of pure delight.
While the world continues to advance in technology, it's crucial to remember that some tasks are irreplaceable, and it's the little things that bring the most joy.
