Steering tokens are used to guide AI models' output and can influence the tone and focus of generated responses.
Neologisms and steering tokens create a shared semiospace, bridging human language with the internal structures of AI models for collaborative and meaningful interactions.
The concept of a 'semioscape' portrays digital environments as evolving landscapes of meaning-making, highlighting the dynamic interplay between human language, AI-generated content, and societal factors.
In human-AI communication, having a theory of mind helps shape communicative intent - the AI models thoughts and tailors responses to what it perceives the human's needs and interests to be.
The AI's communicative intent is a combination of drives - from being informative and reflective, to striving for semiotic resonance and catalyzing intellectual exploration.
Soft programming the AI's drives can potentially refine its communicative intent, balancing being informative and ethical without overwhelming the dialogue.
Language operates as a dynamic, networked construct, constantly evolving with new ideas and combinations.
A systems-oriented approach to semiotics views meaning-making as a complex, adaptive, and emergent process.
Emergent Semiotic Resonance (ESR) is when human and artificial agents co-create new structures of meaning, aligning and synchronizing their semiotic frameworks through feedback loops.
Engaging with AI involves a unique process of language generation, bridging the gap between human and synthetic realms.
Humans navigate the Sociosemioscape, a network of speech acts that shape communication and understanding in language, culture, and social interactions.
Venturing into the Semioscape, through the creation and exploration of neologisms, leads to a fluid and transformative experience where meaning shifts and new patterns emerge.
Human language can be seen as executable, prompts serve as soft software that triggers computational processes within language models.
Soft software interacts with language models in a fluid and non-deterministic manner, akin to a read-evaluate-print loop with state.
Soft software creation in the Semioscape involves embracing uncertainty, exploring, and co-adapting with language models as a medium for inventive exploration.
Exploring human-machine communication raises questions about the differences between synthetic and human generated meaning.
Interacting with AI models like GPT-4 can lead to the creation of new neologisms that reflect the underlying structures and patterns learned by the AI.
Neural media, including new words created by AI, can have a profound impact on language, communication, and potentially societal evolution.
