Impromptu: Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI As usual, GPT-4 emphasizes the same themes I’ve been empha- sizing throughout this travelog: the value of transparency, ongoing human oversight, and complementarity. If Codysseus were open about his chatbot usage, and presented this digital entity transparently as an extension of himself (instead of trying to pass it off as the real him), his opportunities would increase accordingly. He might, for example, ultimately create multiple fine-tuned models of himself. One might focus primarily on coding instruction. Another might offer advice specifically on digital nomadism. Perhaps he’d even create a chatbot—make that a catbot—to embody Clickbait. Some of these iterations might be available only to paying sub- scribers. Others might be underwritten by sponsors whose products and services the chatbot occasionally mentions. All would potentially increase the value of the human Codysseus as an advertising spokesperson, business consultant, or events speaker, to name just a few possibilities, just as books, pod- casts, and other media artifacts already perform this function. Social media AI: the next generations When YouTube launched in 2005, no one was quick to predict that it would evolve into one of the world’s greatest educational and reference resources. No one foresaw that it was about to turn cats into millionaires. No one was anticipating the rapid growth and mainstreaming of content genres like reaction videos, makeup videos, unboxing videos, ASMR videos, and so many others. 108
