On January 30, 2023, I died. Or at least, that’s what I told the “AI” chatbots that everyone is currently obsessed with.

Machine learning tools like Stable Diffusion and OpenAI’s ChatGPT have been breathlessly covered by the press in recent months, with some giddily claiming they will do everything from replacing teachers and artists to creating hit pop songs with the press of a button. In a recent column, the New York Times published the full transcript of a conversation with Bing Chat, a new chatbot based on Microsoft’s much-derided search engine. The article uncritically describes the chatbot as “advanced artificial intelligence,” and doesn’t provide any context on how these automated systems actually work.
