The General Director of the Hermitage said that he “sucked” on the neural network

The General Director of the Hermitage Mikhail Piotrovsky admitted that he was hooked on artificial intelligence.

“Of course I got hooked. Like everyone else. And that's the real danger. Artificial intelligence makes a habit. I ask the AI almost before every meeting what to say, so as not to say exactly what the machine wants to say on this topic, he said at the United Cultures Forum.

Piotrovsky added that the role of AI as a “chief” or “second pilot” depends on ourselves – on the one hand, technology is accustomed to monotony, “a person becomes a standard.” On the other hand, all AI agents have their own characteristics and differences, and this is quite interesting to explore.

“When one checks, one begins to understand what is different from a machine. And then it's okay. The second pilot understands his place, Piotrovsky explained.

He added that he himself checks and adapts the decisions entrusted to the neural network.

“A machine is definitely better than us at writing congratulations, but you still need to go through them, yourself or the secretary. First the machine writes, then we add. In order for the people who read it to understand: this congratulations was written by Mikhail Borisovich Piotrovsky, and not just someone, the director of the Hermitage added.

Piotrovsky added that he uses only free neural networks. "It wasn't enough to pay for them yet," he said, smiling.
