Introduction

I remember during a Friday afternoon happy hour at work back in October 2022, when a colleague mentioned in our Happy Hour chat on slack about a new web application that we should take notice of since it will make a lot of noise in the near future. That application was ChatGPT and my immediate reaction was :

They need to find a better name !!!

...mentioning that the name looked awkward to me just like BackRub was the initial name for Google. And I had no idea that ChatGPT was actually an AI Agent and what was the actual use of it. 

My Personal Exprience and interaction with ChatGPT

For the past 20+ years, google was my main internet search engine and if I needed to research any information online, just like I used to do during 90s with the family hard copy encyclopaedia, I could just "google" it. I might had to spend an extra half an hour to reach and decode the information found on the search results but in the end it was still working fine and that was ok from my side.

By 2024, I have found the need to experiment with this new technology but when I first browsed ChatGPT, I was starring the prompt box without having any idea what to ask it. 2 years later and after completing a relevant course on AI prompting, ChatGPT helped me unbelievably to UNLOCK the astonishing potential of fulfilling my curiosity by asking questions an AI Agent and since I am not a graphic designer and my computer-aided drawing capabilities are limited, ChatGPT help me draw amazing social media posters instead of using Windows Paint.

Just recently, I responded on a tweet on X from my good friend katerinaramm1 who asked which whether someone has ever used an AI Agent to develop code with it.

Do you still remember your first vibe coding project? How long did it take you to decide what it would be and to build it?

@katerinaramm1 Now you take me 26 years ago during my University years when i was taking lessons in C++ without previous programming experience

@feax31 Oh I remember that too, when I wrote my first working programm in the University :) Have you been inspired by the capabilities of AI to create something new?

— Katerina (@katerinaramm1) October 23, 2026

@katerinaramm1 yes absolutely i used AI to develop my personal dashboard assistant and several other tools for my job on javascript although I keep them offline and ran them only on my browser.

Learning Programming from ChatGPt while developing my personal tools that I needed for my job and my cryptoactivities was a fascinating experience. It was like having a programming tutor right in front of me and I did learned a lot about javascript programming which I didn't managed to learn in the University.

Even surprisingly, 2 years ago since my first interaction with ChatGPT, an AI Agent helped me to unlock my forgotten Horizen funds in a legacy wallet as it was described in my article "Recovering my Locked Horizen Funds using AI". And when I say it helped me recover, that doesn't mean that the AI Agent literally "hacked" the legacy wallet but provided me the recovery path I had to take by genuinely using again Ancient Greek Philosopher Socrates' maieutic prompting method. 

Re-Examining AI / Rethinking Modernity

Recently, on October 2026, there was a conference in the local department of History and Digital humanities of the Ionian University with title "Re-Examining AI / Rethinking Modernity" and since I had a day off from work, I decided to attend it. This time, the subject of the conference wasn't about the AI technology as a technology but a critical philosophical, anthropological and interdisciplinary perspective on it.

The most notable speech came from Eugenio Girelli Bruni, an independent scholar who explained that AI Data Centers are just machines fed with the past of human civilisation while they spit out new texts in poetry, literature, cinematography, music, painting and other arts but also technology of the human civilisation.  

He also explained that during late 60s / early 70s Stanley Kubrick with the "2001: A space Odyssey" and Andrei Tarkovsky with the Soviet version of "Solaris" debated Both debate whether AI agents may posses consciousness in the near future implying the same worry about AI development and evolution many years before the recent AI Hype. 

Random Thoughts About Sam Altman

First time I've heard about the individual Sam Altman was on November 17th, 2023, as the CEO of the fast growing startup backed by Microsoft and owner of ChatGPT application who was fired from company's board of directors. According to OpenAI press statement released in the company's blog without elaborating was reading as follows:

"Altman's departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities,"

Interestingly, the announcement sparked a lot of noise in the global business, tech and financial press but even worse internally within the OpenAI organisation since many AI engineers and other senior staff threatened their resignation as a reaction to the board of director's decision.

Surprisingly, after weighting the situation of losing the majority of their engineers to their competitors, in an unprecedented move, the board of directors reversed its initial decision by requesting Sam Altman to remain as the CEO of the company who also accepted its invitation and returned back to his initial position.

Whether the whole situation was a trick of company's marketing department to attract global eyes on the promising startup or not, for sure it attracted a lot of publicity worldwide. But since his return in the office, Sam Altman became the undisputedly leader of the company inspiring OpenAI's engineers to work harder to establish ChatGPT in the era of AI prompting.

Another incident that draw huge public attention was during an online discussion on X with user tomie (@tomieinlove) on April 15th, 2025, Sam Altman took the opportunity to mention that courtesy towards AI might cost tens of millions of dollars due to computational cost but it is an amount well spent.

I wonder how much money OpenAI has lost in electricity costs from people saying “please” and “thank you” to their models.

— tomie (@tomieinlove) April 15, 2025

@tomieinlove tens of millions of dollars well spent--you never know

— Sam Altman (@sama) April 16, 2025

His reply caused a huge debate on global press and social media and many memes depicting AI Robots protecting human beings that used to be gentle and respectful to AI Agents from extermination.

Interestingly, a survey found that about 70% of users automatically default to polite language when interacting with AI. And that 70% includes also me, not because of the fear that machines will take over the control of the planet but just because I treat AI Agents as my assistants that helped me to automate and optimise my daily tasks.

As a rule of thumb, the Magic Words in the prompting are the everyday courtesy words : “Please” and “Thank You”. So instead of just ordering the AI Agent to execute a job it is preferable to start prompts with the magic word “please” For example:

“Please rewrite this more concisely.”

“Please suggest 10 ways to rebrand this product.”

Also, when the AI responds, it is good to express gratitude. A simple “thank you” goes a long way. Acknowledging its help not only ensures graciousness in return but also enhances the AI’s responsiveness and performance.

Certainly, we all know the golden rule:

“Treat others the way you want to be treated.” 

But does this apply to our interactions with artificial intelligence (AI)? Microsoft’s design manager Kurtis Beavers reports:

Using polite language sets a tone for the response, LLMs—large language models, a.k.a. generative AI—are trained on human conversations. In the same way that your email autocomplete suggests a likely next word or phrase, LLMs pick a sentence or paragraph it thinks you might want based on your input. Put another way, it’s a giant prediction machine making highly probabilistic guesses at what would plausibly come next. So when it clocks politeness, it’s more likely to be polite back. The same is true of your colleagues, strangers on the street, and the barista making your iced Americano: when you’re kind to them, they tend to be kind to you too. 

So why NOT to be kind to AI Agents too ?

Finally, my impression about Sam Altman started to change after several interviews that he gave where he appears arather aggresive and arrogant to his statements which made me a lot of impression because judging from his boy-ish naive and humble appearance he doesn't look to be a "bad" guy...

Sam Altman while giving a speech at BlackRock's US Infrastructure Summit in Washington DC, predicted a future where AI intelligence becomes a metered utility like electricity or water. He said OpenAI's business will centre on selling tokens from models of varying cost and capability, with surging demand driving on-demand intelligence for any use.

"We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter"

AI startups have made huge investments not only in hardware but also in software causing what we call the "AI Bubble" expecting their Return of Investments (ROI) within the next 5 years otherwise they will go bankrupt. So who is going to pay the bill for all this AI Infrastructure built worldwide ? But of course the "AI as a Service" consumers. And the best way to make it happen is to "addict" them on the AI Service by providing it at the beginning as free of charge until consumers will get used to using it daily even for tasks they could complete on their own. 

Personally, I remember when I was younger during late 80s and early 90s, I could remember at least 10 different phone numbers of my close family and acquaintances circle but since mobile phones during early 00s entered out day life, I could hardly remember even my own personal mobile number. The same is designed to happen again with AI, since in its attempt to enter our everyday life, eventually it will make human beings more dump and more lazy to perform even the easiest tasks and even worse we will have to pay for it. 

Just lately on October 2026, Sam Altman has sparked another debate again during an interview on the YouTube channel Cheeky Pint, after questioning whether people really need large amounts of RAM in their personal computers when that memory could potentially be used more efficiently in AI data centers !

It's quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used 5% of the time.

I am sure, It's all about marketing tricks from Sam Altman to continuously draw attention to his public profile and to his company.

Elon Musk

During a 2025 appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience," Elon musk described AI as a technology that could hit digital work far faster than jobs requiring people to physically interact with the world.

"AI is really still digital. Ultimately, AI can improve the productivity of humans who build things with their hands or do things with their hands, like literally welding, electrical work, plumbing, anything that's physically moving atoms, like cooking food or farming. Like anything that's physical, those jobs will exist for a much longer time. But anything that is digital, which is like just someone at a computer doing something, AI is going to take over those jobs like lightning."

Final Thoughts

I don't really know what will be the future of the human civilisation blended with AI Agents but as a technologist, I am confident that no matter the evolution of AI, AI Agents will still continue to follow the 3 Laws of Asimov

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

So far it has been written thousands of articles on the internet about AI. My aim by writing one more article on my random thoughts on AI isn't to provide solutions but provide food for further thoughts. And I really hoped that I have managed to steer your interest about AI.

Finally, please notice that my article isn't whether AI will be a threat or facilitate the development and evolution of Blockchain Technology. This is an article about random thoughts on Artificial Intelligence (or Superintelligence as Elon Musk and Donald Trump prefer to call it) as a Technology.
