The harm at risk is not just to humans but to chat bots and AI projects. Remember Tay from Microsoft? It lasted about 24 hours before it started to return offensive replies. MS got embarrassed, had to take it down, and that was that. Unsupervised learning systems are more efficient and powerful today. Are they any better at navigating the many cultural sensitivities and restrictions in human society? “We Regret to Inform You GPT-3 Is A Nazi” is a headline that would probably collect a lot of clicks, and instill (or reinforce) a public perception that such technologies are worthless or dangerous. Does GPT-3 have the internal safeguards necessary to protect itself from being abused in this way? I doubt it. I suspect this is one reason OpenAI asks that people using GPT-3 supply such safeguards themselves.
