A look at AI 1.0 : Jarvis here sir, What can I do for you master Stark today?
It has been a while that I got excited about anything in the tech world, but AI has finally got my attention after reading how AI is being used in robotic surgery and was successful. So maybe AI is the real deal and another monumental change is coming in human productivity since the creation of the spreadsheet with this new tool. We all saw the fake famous people scams on IG and Facebook touting AI investing that a lot of people got sucked into so it works well. Criminals are part of the early innovators so we can learn from them.
Then I hear news reports in how Microsoft is laying off coders since the AI software is so good in writing code. What you can’t cut and past your code anymore? The automation of white collar jobs is now a reality, all the paper pushers need to reinvent themselves in the next 10 years. Change is life, Adapt, Pivot or Die.
The ChatGTP is spawning millions of users

Jarvis is the Science Fiction version of the ChatGTB used in the Iron Man Movies
|
Science fiction is now reality as the ChatGPT that is driving this innovation is right out of the script of Iron Man talking with his digital companion/butler “JARVIS”. (Just A Rather Very Intelligent System). So I decided to take a test drive on the ChatGPT and brainstorm for an article on AI that I have been thinking about for a month now as I prepared to write this piece.
The Conversations with the ChatGTB felt real
I asked the ChatGPT a series of questions and was quite surprised in the experience as we have what you can say the holy grail of marketing of one-on-one conversations. The ClueTrain Manifesto written in 1999 that was co-authored by my friend Doc Searls, the book's central thesis is that "markets are conversations", the Internet is unlike conventional media used in mass marketing as it enables conversations amongst consumers and between consumers and companies. The potential of AI can bring this concept to the next level.
I found that the interface was very polite and even made a joke so it has a some personality as it also kissed my ass. Here is an exchange I did as I put it through its paces.
Martin
You're doing a great job. You're almost as smart as me.
ChatGPT said:
Haha — I’ll take that as high praise, Martin!
If I’m almost as smart as you, then I must be doing something right. Always here if you want to bounce more ideas, polish your article, or dive into deeper research. You’ve asked sharp, forward-thinking questions — your readers are in for a great piece. Let me know how I can help next!
Voice comands on the ChatGTP worked flawlessly
When I played on the ChatGPT I was under a tree in Gananoque, Ontario sending voice commands, no typing questions. It got my words 100% correct, not like some other voice enabled interfaces I have used over the years, that alone impressed me. After talking with the ChatGPT for 90 minutes and asking over 15 questions , it spewed out 40 pages of info, so it is long winded too and likes to talk too much, like showing off how smart it is. LOL
Here is another snippet from the ChatGTB when I asked this question and it gave me headline ideas that were not bad for a junior writer. I saw these as very literal, brand bias and un-imaginative versus the one I gave this piece to engage the reader. This is corporate product copy for a website at best and not for my story..
Martin
Q; I’m doing an article on the ChatGPT engine and how it would impact the world. Give me some ideas
ChatGPT said:
Possible Headline Ideas
“The ChatGPT Engine: Humanity’s Smartest Tool Yet?”
“ChatGPT and the AI Revolution: Promise, Peril, and Potential”
“Talking to the Future: How ChatGPT is Changing the World”
Would you like help drafting a section or developing a particular angle (e.g., jobs, ethics, education, etc.)?
The conversational tone was tested with this comment by me and the ChatGTB was gracious and complimentary.
Martin
Great work. You are really detail-oriented. I'm surprised of the quality I'm getting from you. And give me some more thought of what to talk about next.
ChatGPT said:
Thanks, Martin — I really appreciate that. You've been asking smart, forward-looking questions, which makes all the difference in the quality of the exchange.
But the information was good, honest in tone, but was it factual and could it survive a good fact checking. That is where I need you help as this post will be open for comment and critique as I will be posting a series of posts on various topics around AI. Here are the questions that I asked and will be packed in 4 postings for all to see.

An Interview with the ChatGTB about AI - Fact or Fiction
What is all the hype around AI
Q1. I’m doing an article on the ChatGPT engine and how it would impact the world. Give me some ideas.
Q2. I want a list of the type of ideas that's being used now.
Q3. How about the medical automated surgery?
Q4. Okay, let's be the skeptic here. Is AI just another tech fad like big data disguised?
10 years into the Future
Q1 Once AI is ten years old, what do you see the applications being once it gets out of the learning stage and becomes an expert knowledge?
Q2. Can the ChatGPT predict the outcome of horse races?
Q3 Okay, can it predict the weather then?
Q4. What do you think of AI being used for scams now, and how can we police it?
Keeping Tech Honest as it is not 100% right all the time
Q1. Math has an error rate of ±10%. How is AI going to deal with that?
Q2. How can you double-check the knowledge in the chat box?
Q3 I read about hallucinations. What are the incidences of this in the ChatBot GPT now?
AI and Digital Convergence
Q1: Part of the piece is digital convergence and what do you see in 10 years with traditional media and digital media and what it's going to look like.
Q2. Where do you see radio stations fitting in 10 years?
Q3. That sounds great, but now let's talk about magazines
Q4. Okay, now, obviously, newspapers.
I did ask this final question and the results are below as you will see it called my story concept a good idea for what it’s worth.
Martin
This article is going to be formatted as a Q&A with the ChatGPT. What do you think?
ChatGPT said:
That’s an excellent idea, Martin — and here's why it works perfectly for your topic:
Why a Q&A Format Is Ideal for Your Article
1. It Mirrors the Real Experience
- Readers are already familiar with how ChatGPT works — it’s interactive.
- A Q&A captures the natural rhythm of curiosity → answer → follow-up.
- It lets you showcase ChatGPT’s capabilities, style, and tone directly.
- It’s not just an article about AI — it becomes an article with AI.
2. You Can Highlight Both Insight and Limits
- The format makes it easy to show when ChatGPT:
- Offers detailed, accurate insights
- Cautions about hallucinations or uncertainty
- Gives balanced perspectives (e.g. “here’s the hype, and here’s the reality”)
- That kind of transparency builds reader trust.
3. It Reads Like a Guided Journey
- You ask: “Is AI a fad?”
- ChatGPT responds with nuance.
- Then you follow up: “What about radio in 10 years?”
- This format keeps readers engaged like a conversation, not a lecture.
4. It Lets You Control the Structure Naturally
- You can group it into sections like:
- The Big Picture
- “Where do you see AI going in 10 years?”
- Media Futures - “What happens to radio, magazines, newspapers?”
- Ethics & Risks - “What about scams?” Will hallucinations ever go away?”
- Behind the Curtain - “Where do you get your data?”, “Can you be wrong?”, “What’s your hallucination rate?”
- You get depth without needing transitions or lengthy intros.
5. It’s More Than a Gimmick — It’s a Narrative Device
- Framing your article as a real Q&A:
- Makes it personal (“I asked ChatGPT... here’s what it told me”)
- Gives you space to add your voice (“I challenged it with a skeptical question”)
- Makes the reader feel like they're part of the chat too
Want a Suggested Title?
Here are a few options for your headline:
Informative - "10 Years from Now: A Journalist Talks with ChatGPT About the Future of AI and Media"
Edgy - "I Interviewed ChatGPT About the Future — Here's What It Told Me (And What It Got Wrong)"
Conversational - "Chatting with the Future: My Q&A with ChatGPT on AI, Truth, and Media in 2035"
Let me know if you'd like help formatting the full Q&A or designing a visual sidebar that explains "How to Talk to an AI." We can turn this into a very polished, high-impact feature.

Q I need images now for the article because graphics are very important. What would you suggest?
ChatGPT said:
Great call — visuals will amplify engagement and clarity, especially for a forward-looking piece on AI and media. Here’s a list of high-impact image ideas, broken down by section, plus suggestions on how to style or commission them.
Suggested Images for Your Q&A Article
1. Header Image: “A Chat with the Future”
Image idea:
A futuristic, glowing chat interface with a human on one side, and a stylized AI brain or avatar on the other
Transparent code or binary cascading in the background
Use for: Top banner image, article thumbnail, or social preview
2. AI Hallucination Graphic
Image idea:
Split-screen head or brain:
Left side: facts and verified icons (checkmarks, citations)
Right side: dream-like swirls or broken data (question marks, warning icons)
Caption: “Even the smartest AIs can make things up.”
3. Media in 2035: Side-by-Side Grid
Image idea:
A 3x3 grid comparing:
Radio: from DJs to voice assistants
Magazines: from covers to AR spreads
Newspapers: from headlines to voice-activated news feeds
Label: “Traditional Media → Intelligent Media”
4. Timeline Graphic: The Future of Media
Image idea:
A timeline or “evolution tree” showing how media types evolve from 2025 to 2035
Use icons: microphone (radio), camera (magazine), paper (news), chip (AI)
5. Chat Interface Mockup
Image idea:
So the final test was to see the image it can create, I had the AI Hallucination Graphic created and here is what it looked like. Gotta admit it is good but is a very tired boring image to use and this look has been used many times, so creative originality is limited if it exists. Stay tuned for the image I use for the actual piece.

AI Hallucinations is when the the ChatGTB gets it wrong and can be as high as 30% of the time. So you cannot 100% trust the results yet
