Authors’ Note

Dear readers,

ChatGPT, an AI Expert, and a Lawyer walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, What is this, some kind of joke?

The AI Expert responds, Of course it’s a joke. Don’t you know that chatbots and AI are constantly evolving and improving their sense of humor?

The Lawyer interjects, Well, I’m not so sure about that. I’ve seen plenty of AI-generated jokes that fall flat.

The ChatGPT chimed in, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend. How about this one: Why was the computer cold? Because it left its Windows open.

The bartender chuckled, That’s a good one. You guys are full of surprises.

We are the human authors of this book on the evolution of communication and creativity from cave paintings to AI. However, the writing process for this book was quite unique as we utilized ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence language model, to assist us in writing the content.

We provided ChatGPT with various prompts and ideas, and it then generated text based on those inputs. While the majority of the text in this book was generated by ChatGPT, we did review and edit the content to ensure it met our standards and accurately conveyed the information we wanted to convey.

The content generated by us and by ChatGPT is displayed differently throughout this book so that it is easy to tell who wrote what:

• Written by the human authors as original content

• Written by the human authors as a prompt to an AI system

• Written by ChatGPT

We have not modified or edited anything written by ChatGPT, except to select which pieces of written content to include in the book. By the same token, ChatGPT has not edited our writing, possibly to the detriment of the quality of the writing!

We hope you enjoy this unique approach to writing and find the information within these pages as fascinating as we do.

Sincerely,

Bob Rogers and Theresa Hart

Prologue

As we continue to advance, the role of artificial intelligence in communication and creativity is becoming increasingly prominent. From virtual assistants to automated content creation, AI is changing the way we interact and create in the digital world. It remains to be seen how this evolution will shape the future of communication and creativity, but one thing is certain: the role of technology will continue to be a driving force in the way humans create and communicate.

As a human author who has spent years writing about artificial intelligence, I have always been fascinated by the incredible potential of this technology. From its humble beginnings as a tool for solving simple mathematical problems, AI has evolved into a sophisticated and powerful tool that is capable of transforming nearly every aspect of our lives.

But as I watched the rapid progress of AI over the years, I began to wonder: could this technology be used to write a book about itself? Could an AI system be trained to understand the complex and nuanced history of communication and creativity, from cave paintings to the present day?

To explore this question, I decided to embark on an experiment. I would attempt to write a book about the evolution of communication and creativity using an AI system as my co-author. I wanted to understand the risks, strengths, and weaknesses of this new technology, and to see if it was truly capable of producing meaningful and insightful content.

As I began this project, I had no idea what to expect. I knew that AI systems had been used to generate text before, but I had never attempted anything like this on such a large scale. I was both excited and nervous about what the results would be.

But as I began to work with the AI system, I was amazed by the insights it was able to offer. It quickly became clear that this technology had the potential to revolutionize the way we think about communication and creativity, and to open up new possibilities for human expression.

I hope that this book will serve as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the evolution of communication and creativity, and that it will help to shed light on the exciting and sometimes controversial role that AI is playing in this ongoing process.
