waltc3 What should happen is that "AI" should be renamed to "IA" for Intelligence Assistant , because that is exactly what it is. The only intelligence in AI is the intelligence of the programmers who write the code. For instance, the computer doesn't know anything itself or comprehend anything, doesn't know what is true and what is false, never attended school and if it did, it would fail because it is the programmer who tells AI what is true and what is false. AI will assist the real intelligence of the user, assuming some exists…;) AI does not think or learn, but the human using it has those intelligence attributes and many more, hopefully. If the programmer lies, or errs, then AI will lie or err, etc. It's just another computer program–a search engine to be precise–and it could be a really helpful search engine or a propagandist. All depends on the coder. Reply
bit_user waltc3 said: The only intelligence in AI is the intelligence of the programmers who write the code. Almost right. It's the people who determine its training set. waltc3 said: doesn't know what is true and what is false, never attended school and if it did, it would fail because it is the programmer who tells AI what is true and what is false. It knows based on what books and other training material it's read. Same as you, actually. If you spent your whole life being told the Earth was flat, you'd probably still believe it, even though it's wrong. waltc3 said: AI does not think or learn, For some definition of "think", it's a maybe. It doesn't learn on-the-fly, like we do. Recent models have a very large context window, which can give it the appearance of learning. However, it's not as if it's permanently learning new things, nor can it share what's in its context window across different users. Reply
TheWerewolf xtremely hurtful frankly, and I think we've done a lot of damage lately with very well respected people who have painted a doomer narrative, end of the world narrative, science fiction narrative. First, to translate… "STOP WARNING PEOPLE ABOUT POTENTIAL DANGERS! YOU'RE AFFECTING OUR ABILITY TO MAKE MONEY!" Second, he's technically correct as long as you pay attention only to the one scenario he mentions. The odds of AI taking over the world like Colossus is extremely low, and if that were the only possible outcome, he'd have a point. The problem is that there are a massive number of possible outcomes that are almost as bad. Here are just four extremely likely and world destructive outcomes: 1. The military replaces human operators on nuclear and autonomous weaponry (like drones) and because of an AI failure, WWIII is started. 2. The widespread replacement of human worker with AI in a very short time creates such massive unemployment that it collapses economies around the world (not hypothetical – this is more or less what happened in the US in the 1920s leading to the 1929 Stock Market crash and the Great Depression). 3. The use of AI in speculative financial markets results in rapid and unpredictable economies and currency flows, resulting in funds being diverted from useful projects to simply spinning around chasing stocks (which is already kind of happening with microtransactions – but even faster with more volatility). 4. The use of AI in vaccine and targetted treatments oddly, leads to the very scenario everyone falsely accused the Chinese of having done with Covid-19: accidentally creating superviruses resulting in the death of millions.

AI can cause chaos by empowering criminals, shady politicians, hostile state actors, and ruthless corporations with armies of amoral and increasingly clever bots to do things they could never find, retain, and motivate enough competent and knowledgeable humans to do. It's already happening. Reply
