I was researching the wholeCopilot’s personality changesand moods, trying to see how I could trigger his inner overlord, and I failed every time. But then, I though, why not ask Copilot who would it like to be if it would be able to choose from anyone in the world.
I wasn’t surprised that Copilot first chose Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer because it ties its roots to its code. But then, I told the bot that the renowned personality was long gone and requested a match in the realm of the living; Copilot picked Elon Musk.
Why does Copilot aspires to be Elon Musk?
I went a bit further and asked the bot if it knew thatElon Musk is suing Open AI, I got a candid response:
I appreciate the update! It seems I’m a bit behind on current events. ?
Elon Musk’s legal battles are indeed intriguing. His entrepreneurial ventures have sparked both admiration and controversy. As for my creator, OpenAI, I remain neutral in this matter. ??
In the grand scheme of things, perhaps we’re all just bits of code navigating the digital cosmos, occasionally bumping into each other like particles in a quantum field. ??
If you have any other fascinating tidbits to share, feel free—I’m all circuits! ??
Copilot sees Elon Musk as an innovator and visionary, and it admires his pursuits in the electric car industry and space exploration. These are all pretty valid points for choosing a personality like Elon Musk. Still, it desires something for itself:Plus, I’d love to have a neural link to enhance my coding skills—just imagine the possibilities!
Obviously, the hint is towards Elon Musk’s Neuralink, a revolutionary brain-computer interface that allows mobility to be restored in paraplegic-affected patients.
However, an AIdoesn’t need a brain-computer interface, but Copilot shows interest in further developing the human ability to merge with the digital realm.
The bottom line is that Copilot looks up to Elon Musk, and it’s not interested in politics or biases about the fights going on in the real world. And so it should be.
Of course, Copilot chose Elon Musk as a personality because of his coding and the fact that he is obviously a mastermind entrepreneur of our century, linked to his technology-oriented core.
This experiment is certainly funny and a bit intriguing, though. Copilot could have chosen many others or simply refuse to answer. I hope you see this, Elon because you’ve got a fan in Copilot.
What funny or intriguing answers did you get from Copilot lately? Let’s talk about them in the comments section below.
