A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I think communicating with AI will become an art form the same way googling was/is.

In the Greatest Generation postcast they posit that you can actually get anything you want materialized at a certain temperature.

A Stradivarius violin. Luke warm.

Hm, and I guess in any variant state. Janeway always gets "Coffee. Black."

Is is possible for something to be replicated that if one of its defining features is the person who built it?

If the violin was replicated, it was not built by Stradivari, and thus is by definition not a Stradivarius.

In the 24th century, where ownership is a foreign concept, I don't think they give a flying fuck what ancient neck-beard built the instrument if it's per-atom perfect. They don't give a fuck about materials, only outcomes.

Yeah, the gentle product hints at first will be driving people away quicker than a Monstered up Uber driver.

It already is. If you want to play a game of D&D with chatGPT, there’s a very specific prompt carefully crafted for that. If you want to chat with a with a total psycho, there’s a prompt for that. If you want your AI to do something it was specifically forbidden from doing, just craft a very specific prompt for that, and you’re good to go. You can even find sites that collect various prompts for just about any purpose you can imagine.
