Accordingly, we interfaced with three softwares based on artificial intelligence: one is Siri, purchased by Apple from SRI in 2010, which aims to enable natural speaking language to answer questions, provide recommendations and perform basic searches via available information resources, mainly Wikipedia. Another, which in no time has gained momentum, is ChatGPT. This, again, is another type of artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI and powered by reinforced learning methods. The third software is the important, Google Translate, no less - an application that in recent years has acquired millions of users all over the world using a myriad number of languages. There is no doubt that the online translation of complicated texts seen at the beginning as an amusing jest, has gained, over the years, the ability to produce much better jokes. We received the oddest answers from ChatGPT, which tries to look intelligent by telling stupid stories, such as that Architecture of Israel was established in 1950, and that one can find information about four generations of architects there: The Fayker Generation, The Harskin Generation, the Havlin generation and the Noymarker generation. And not less surprising, that one of the best known editors is architect Roshmaldo. As the editor-in-chief of AI for the last 35 years, I firmly declare, that in light of such nonsense, I can unequivocally say that there is nothing whatsoever to fear from depositing our destiny in the hands of Artificial Intelligence, since it will never know what to do with it. And in order to sum up on a positive note, AI-based applications can be (and are) helpful in running urban systems, queue management, writing digital prescriptions, mainly bureaucratic online payment, saving days of waiting in governmental offices, erecting expensive buildings with air-conditioning, drinking water, coffee, and toilet paper - lots of toilet paper and blocked sewers. And here one may raise the question, does AI not clash with the main purpose of architecture as a means for organizing spatial interaction.
