I can’t believe I have to say this: GPT-3 can’t channel dead people
- d13 5y agoGPT-3 is a fun toy for creating entertaining interactive fiction, and so only as “dangerous” as our imaginations’ abilities to distinguish fact from fiction - as with any written works. I think a lot of the current AI panic is because those companies pushing the technologies are exploiting public and media ignorance of what they actually are. Essentially disguising their own facts with their own fictions, which if there is any danger in all of this, is the only one.
- freemint 5y agoIf there is a metric how close something is to channeling GPT-3 is a lot better than all the alternative means of channeling dead people. In addition compared to dead people being channeled by alive people GPT-3 is less likely to have a manipulative personality. In addition I atleast have heard from several anecdotes that building a language model from a dead persons text and chatting with them helped to process grief. I personally find it gate keeping to prevent better language models being used for therapy.
