Steve Jobs' 1983 Vision Presages ChatGPT Era - Techzi
In 1983, Steve Jobs gave a glimpse of a technology that resembled the AI chatbots we see today. At the International Design Conference in Aspen, Jobs spoke about machines that could encapsulate the wisdom of great thinkers. He envisioned a future where people could interact with these devices to learn about historical figures' perspectives long after they had passed away. Jobs, while appreciating books for their ability to transfer knowledge directly, expressed his desire for more interactive means of learning. He dreamt of a time when readers could engage with the text by asking questions.
This vision is reminiscent of the present-day AI chatbots, designed to offer interactive responses based on knowledge. Fast forward forty years, and Jobs' prophecy is unfolding through AI chatbots such as ChatGPT. These chatbots have been trained on extensive datasets, including books, in an effort to mimic human-like interactions. While these chatbots are not flawless, they mark a significant advancement towards Jobs' vision of interactive repositories of knowledge.
