Furniture is not people. All processes and all devices, will be useless for organizations, if the heads of the individuals who employ them, are not properly organized. And these heads will be organized, if the same part of the boss's body that directs them is properly organized. Just like you can write nonsense with a latest model typewriter, nonsense can also be done with the most perfect systems and devices meant to help you not to. Systems, processes, furniture, machines, are purely auxiliary elements. The real process is to think. The fundamental machine is intelligence.

Jim, I am not sure what your example means but text to image conversion can be done quite easily in many programming environments and does not need an AI unless you are using it to hunt for info. I mean you can open up many Paint or Photo programs and look at the menus and often one allows you to write using whatever font/size/color/background you want to add a layer on the image. There are plenty of free resources on-line that I sometimes use to write something in a large fiery font or whatever and when I get the result I want, I save it as graphics. If you mean that you found something other than a human who would listen to you and maybe ask a few questions and then do it for you, good for you. Since most people are not programmers, there is plenty of room for that kind of thing. Although R is not particularly designed to do what you are saying, a quick search indicates plenty of packages using R for this kind of thing. What gets me is an AI can do one of several things. It may give you a result and you take it or leave it. Or, it can look around at the internet and knowledge bases and throw a program at you, perhaps in R, and you would then need to validate if it makes sense given your knowledge about R. If it gave you a program in a language you did not know, would you blindly try using it? To be fair, many years ago the barrier was higher. To figure out what a function did, or even find such a function, often meant reading through copious amounts of reference books, or lots of existing code looking for an example of such use, or ask someone who might have to do the same. Often you ended up writing code using other more primitive commands that did what you wanted. Obviously internet searches and other tools and the vast number of people who are sharing this kind of info, make this easier. In some ways, an AI can do much of the searching for you but with results that may be surprising. -----Original Message----- From: R-help <r-help-bounces at r-project.org> On Behalf Of Jim Lemon Sent: Monday, July 17, 2023 7:24 PM To: Ebert,Timothy Aaron <tebert at ufl.edu> Cc: R-help <R-help at r-project.org> Subject: Re: [R] Off-topic: ChatGPT Code Interpreter I haven't really focused on the statistical capabilities of AI, that marriage of massive memory and associative learning.
