Ironically, your comment also sounds arrogant and condescending.
The AI safety crowd's main concern isn't that an "unaligned" superintelligence will have some other people's values. It's that an unaligned AI might kill everyone.
Of course, that isn't a concern with DALL-E. It's like if the safety crowd was worried about a ferocious tiger and OpenAI was like, "we got a kitten. Let's keep the public safe from it while we develop better kitten-handling gloves."
Then Midjourney and Stable Diffusion get their own kittens and let everyone play with them and OpenAI finally says, "Okay, everyone can safely play with our kitten now because we carefully developed great kitten-handling gloves" and proceeds to hand you plain dollar store gloves.
- Miraste 4y agoI know how they define "alignment." I'm picking on the tortured nomenclature, and the tendency in current AI research for it to look a lot like "my values." In my view, speculating on AGI ethics is at best pointless. It's like trying to write laws for the Internet during the invention of the telephone. If you imagine how it could operate, you'll be wrong, and the details change the whole problem.
