That was not the original point. Humans are relatively predictable whether we understand how the brain works exactly. An AI model isn’t an actual intelligence in the normal use of the word. It’s a functional fragment that is able to emulate the ability to absorb a pattern of information for repetitive conditional recall in future processes. Until a researcher has had ALOT of time spent on observing the limits db particulars of a model, there are unforeseen behaviors it can have that can have incredibly real and serious consequences depending on the application. A more fair comparison would be training a new intelligent species to do something before learning about the characteristic behavior quirks of said species
- candiodari 6y agoLuckily we never have unforeseen behaviors with people that we then have to react strongly to after the fact ... We like to pretend that's true, but really, it isn't. Governments are built around the principle that single individuals and even small to medium groups can't be trusted to react reasonably, something that played out in human history again and again. How many people have been in US prisons again? Oh right, about 3%. Clearly a high percentage of these people did something both unexpected that seriously damaged others. So this is not a real difference between AIs and humans. One might even say, not a single AI has been convicted yet, so it might not be true for them. For humans, serious, bad, violent, illegal, even when totally irrational, ... behaviors are very common indeed. (and frankly, if there ever is a true Human <> AI conflict, not allowing any kind of errors for AIs seems to me a strong contender for the casus belli)
- suifbwish 6y agoHumans being unpredictable at the individual level although true does not invalidate the original point that employing a poorly understood neural net training methodology in critical systems of any kind is incredibly rash and presumptive
