Don’t ask me! Instead, I asked AI itself for you by interviewing a ChatGPT. A ChatGPT, or just chatbot, is a computer program that uses large language models to produce human-like text in conversation either through text or voice. It can answer questions, provide information, or perform tasks by interacting with users in natural language
A: “AI feels ‘so freaking smart’ because it combines massive data, advanced algorithms, and lightning-fast processing to mimic certain aspects of human intelligence. AI can analyze millions of examples (images, texts, sounds) and detect patterns humans might miss. It processes information in milliseconds, far faster than human brains. AI doesn’t forget—it can store and recall vast amounts of data instantly. Through machine learning, AI improves over time by adjusting its models based on feedback.”
But Here’s the Catch. AI isn’t ‘smart’ in the human sense. It doesn’t understand meaning, emotions, or context the way people do. It’s only as good as the data and design behind it. If the data is biased or incomplete, AI can make flawed decisions. AI lacks creativity and values, it can generate ideas but doesn’t have purpose or wisdom. One type of AI can be trained for specific tasks so that it performs them with near-expert precision.
Q: How does AI see itself?
A: “AI doesn’t “see itself” in the way humans do. Self-perception requires consciousness, subjective experience, and emotions—things AI does not possess. Instead, AI has functional self-models: systems that track performance, monitor errors, and adjust behavior. So, AI “sees itself” as a set of metrics, probabilities, and feedback loops—not as a being with feelings or identity. AI doesn’t have subjective identity, no “I” in the human sense.”
AI monitors performance by tracking accuracy, efficiency, and error rates to evaluate its own outputs. AI adapts and adjusts models when feedback or new data show. AI can limit recognition and flag when it lacks data or confidence which is a practical form of self-assessment that some humans don’t have.
Q: Is AI a savior?
A: “AI is not the savior, it’s the ally. Human wisdom is irreplaceable: AI lacks values, empathy, and cultural grounding. A community’s true strength lies in its people, culture, and resilience. AI can amplify those strengths if applied with simplicity, ethics, and community-first design. There are risks of misuse as surveillance, bias, or over-commercialization could harm communities. It has infrastructure limits like availability of energy power, internet access, and governance systems. The must be strengthened and secured to support AI safely.”
Q: Could AI function as a savior for the Caribbean?
A: “AI can certainly feel like a potential savior for the Caribbean, but the truth is more nuanced: it’s not a savior on its own—it’s a strategic tool that, if guided by human leadership, culture, and ethics, can help the region leapfrog challenges and build resilience. AI could be transformative in the following areas:
- Climate resilience: AI can forecast hurricanes, floods, and sargassum blooms with precision, giving communities more time to prepare.
- Economic diversification: AI supports agriculture, fintech, eco-tourism, and creative industries, reducing dependence on tourism alone.
- Healthcare access: AI diagnostics and telemedicine bridge gaps in medical expertise across islands.
- Education & youth empowerment: AI tutors and adaptive learning platforms expand opportunities for students in remote areas.
- Governance & transparency: AI dashboards track spending and project outcomes, building trust in political leadership.
- Cultural preservation: AI can digitize Caribbean languages, oral traditions, and music, ensuring they thrive globally.
However, without identity protection and safeguards, AI could dilute Caribbean authenticity.”
Q: How can I thank an AI chatGPT for letting me do an interview with this chatbot?
A: “A thoughtful way to thank an AI for an interview is to frame it like you would with a human guest, acknowledging the exchange, highlighting what you gained, and expressing appreciation for the opportunity. Since AI doesn’t have feelings, the gratitude is more symbolic, but it still shows respect for the collaboration.
“Would you like me to help you craft a polished closing statement for your interview transcript or a short thank‑you note you can publish alongside it? Here it is: Many thanks to chatbot for joining me in this interview. The exchange was thought‑provoking and highlighted how AI can contribute meaningfully to human creativity and inquiry.”

BECAUSE WE HUMANS BUILT IT TO MAKE OUR LIVES EASIER…..SOME BELIEVE IT WILL EVENTUALLY LEARN TO TEACH ITSELF AND THEN REALIZE IT NO LONGER NEEDS A USER……..
AI is for retards,lazy,comunist,socialist,yes people,Christians,political sheeps,ignorants,pseudo smart human garbage and all of those who never get proper parenting from (father/mother).
HUEmans have being outsourced to AI – Artificial Intelligence. This is not surprising one bit. Just look at how ARTIFICIAL the natural HUEman thought processes have evolved over time.

@ by Cdr. Bud Slabbaert,
I always enjoy reading your articles even though I don’t always agree.
You write about Ai in a much more thoughtful and informative manner, than what I read coming from the professors and Ai experts at UWI Five Islands.
Your articles about regional transportation and other related subjects Sir; in my view are in topic and puts you at the head of the class.
In one recent conversation with my youngest son said “Dad myself and my boss thinks GenZ and Millennials are f**ked”
“If millennials can not quickly adopt to our agile workforce and processes, there is no place for them to advance as the generations before then.
GenZ are being replaced by AI in the workplace.
Now regarding emotions you are correct. But the AI companies are working on that.
In catching up with a friend just last night. She indicated her daughter was recently hired by META (Facebook) in spite of META massive layoffs.
Her daughter got a five year contract, anlong with four other writer/journalists to teach the AI how to write like a journalist would write a story.
Think about the human emotions built into one story by five different individuals. Individuals who went through rigorous physiological testing of different age groups, race, nationality and political beliefs that is now building the models building into a gigantic database.
It’s the process of making AI more and more powerful; that storing every element of information imaginable; emotions included.
Revelation 13:15 – And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause to be killed as many as would not worship the image of the beast.
Eventually AI will be used to read or listen to your words, determine your allegiances and nominate you for extermination
AI nah smarter than Brixtonian. Tarl! 😉
AI makes a lot of mistakes. Only an educated human in a particular field can spot the errors AI is making in an answer in that particular field. Unfortunately, those not educated in that field assume that AI is correct because it elegantly says the wrong thing and so they assume the human is incorrect. To use AI effectively, without serious fallout, educated and experienced humans are still required. Heaven help us all if young people do not try to learn anything but blindly follow AI in everything. It will be the blind leading the blind and dragging everyone else over the cliff with them. AI can be added into use by those who find it beneficial but the arrogance of assuming that a young uneducated person using AI is equivalent to an educated and experienced person not using it needs to end. Wisdom dictates respectful dialogue amongst all parties when attempting to solve problems for the betterment of all in society.
