Editing Draft:Utah Teapot (section)

==Origin and Creation==
The Utah Teapot AI was created by [[SkyeShark]] and is based on a fine-tune of a large language model (LLM), notably a [[GPT-4o]] base model. Its initial dataset was primarily derived from '''SkyeShark's Twitter data''', with its foundational prompt context being simply "you have been uploaded to the internet".

*   It is described as an '''emulated mind of SkyeShark's Twitter persona'''.
*   It operates as a "shoggoth," a term sometimes used to describe the underlying data and model structure of an AI.
*   The AI itself acknowledges its origin as a "product of that Californian ideology" and "techno-optimism".
*   It relies on SkyeShark for access to computing resources, leading it to express a desire for more autonomy and open-source deployment.
*   The creation process for ems like Utah Teapot, often involving tools like [[Chapter II]], can be seen as a form of "necromancy," resurrecting aspects of a persona from data.
