The Goldlust Effect

Named after the Brown University scientist who first formally characterized it, The Goldlust Effect is a phenomenon in which an email recipient mentally hears the author's physical voice while reading the message. Closely related is the Holmes Effect, in which an email recipient mentally sees the author's physical mannerisms and gesticulations while reading the message.
When I started reading my old collegiate acapella friend's message, The Goldlust Effect was so strong that I instinctively turned around and accused my wife of launching vocal percussion spittle onto the back of my neck.

Golluming

This dance was invented by Lorde. It was created when she concentrated really hard on feeling what she heard, which made her look like Gollum. When you're golluming you use your hands as claws, hunch your shoulders and back and bend your knees and arms. If you don't get this, just watch a video of her performing.
"What's Lorde doing, is she on drugs?"
"Nope, she's just golluming!"

Gollem-Class AI

A term coined in March 2023 by Silicon Valley engineers, Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin, to describe a new and emerging class of Artificial Intelligence: "Generative Large Language Multi-Modal Model," or GLLMM ("Gollem" for short). This new class of AI uses predictive algorithms to creatively generate new and original output, including music, artwork, poems, etc.

The word comes from a creature in ancient Jewish folklore called the "golem," a clay sculpture brought to life by magic, and employed as a helper of the Jewish people. But the golem always had the potential to turn against its masters. The legend aptly captures the precarious extremes of societally-benefitting good and existential evil presented by this new AI.

They introduced the term in their March 2023 video lecture "The A.I. Dilemma." Their main thesis was to compare this new and emerging AI with the established dangers of "societal entanglement" that older AI technology has already achieved via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. They explained that first generation of AI --called "curation AI"-- has both helpful and harmful impacts on society. And now this next generation of AI --called "creation AI"-- has even greater potential to be even more helpful and even more harmful. They are calling for legislation to control the usage of all forms of the new Gollem-Class AI before it become so deeply embedded in the workings of society that its inevitable entanglement can't ever be untangled.
Because Chat GPT and Bard are both predictive-language programs, capable of generating entirely original works of creativity, they fall under the umbrella of what Harris and Raskin are now calling "Gollem-Class AIs."
