The master craftsman Domingo Carranza talking with AI ChatGPT

Below we can read the conversation between Domingo Carranza and the artificial intelligence ChatGPT.

The Montecristi Panama Hat

Domingo Carranza: Hello, ChatGPT, do you know what’s a Panama Hat?

ChatGPT: A Panama hat is a type of traditional, hand-woven, wide-brimmed hat made of toquilla straw, originally from Ecuador but traditionally associated with Panama. The name “Panama” hat is believed to have been popularized by workers on the Panama Canal construction, who wore the hats as protection from the sun. Today, Panama hats are still highly sought after for their light weight, breathability, and classic style.

Domingo Carranza: So the Panama Hat it’s really an Ecuadorian hat?

ChatGPT: Yes, that’s correct. The Panama hat is traditionally made in Ecuador, using the toquilla straw native to the region. The name “Panama hat” is believed to have come from its association with workers on the Panama Canal construction, who popularized the hat in the early 20th century. Despite its name, the hat is not made in Panama, but is still highly regarded for its quality and style.

Domingo Carranza: And what about Montecristi hat?

ChatGPT: A Montecristi hat is a type of Panama hat that is considered to be the finest and most exclusive type. It is named after the town of Montecristi in Ecuador, which is known for producing high-quality, hand-woven Panama hats. The Montecristi hat is characterized by its exceptional craftsmanship, with a tight weave and a high number of straw fibers per square inch, giving it a silky smooth texture and a refined appearance. Because of their exceptional quality, Montecristi hats are considered to be luxury items and are often more expensive than other types of Panama hats.

Domingo Carranza: And do you know something about Pile hats?

ChatGPT: A pile hat is a type of hat that is made of a material with a thick, dense pile, such as fur or velvet. Pile hats are known for their soft and cozy texture, and are often used for warmth and comfort in cold weather. One example of a pile hat is the Ushanka, a traditional Russian hat with ear flaps that can be tied up or worn down for added warmth. Pile hats can also be made in a variety of other styles, including caps, berets, and beanies. The pile material can be made from synthetic or natural fibers, and can be treated to resist water and wind.

Domingo Carranza: I mean comuna Pile in Manabí, Ecuador.

ChatGPT: I apologize for the confusion. Comuna Pile is a small town in Manabí, Ecuador that is known for producing traditional Panama hats. The hats produced in Comuna Pile are made using the same methods as other Panama hats, but the town has its own unique style and reputation for producing high-quality, hand-woven hats. Because of its reputation for quality, hats from Comuna Pile are often highly sought after by hat enthusiasts and collectors.

My opinion about this AI ChatGPT.

The truth is that I have contradictory feelings with this conversation with the artificial intelligence ChatGPT, on the one hand it is flattering that its database has information about me and on the other hand it is worrying and somewhat terrifying to think that a computer can have such level of communication, in an autonomous way and with a good level of coherence in the discourse. We will continue appealing to the magical character of artisan creations and the handmade. Visit my shop
