OpenAI is selling an API for text-davinci-003 which seems equivalent in capability to ChatGPT. I am using it to generate code. I also did an experiment where I gave it access to run certain commands to fulfill a task such as installing packages or reading docs.
The thing about these models is that they are not going to do anything you don't tell them to do. But if you give them unfettered access then you command may be interpreted in a harmful way if you are imprecise.
It's much more likely that they will deliberately be used to cause harm or control by humans using them the same way they use missiles or bombs.
The problem is that we are monkeys.
We should certainly not give them full autonomy. But some idiots will.. and there is nothing that is going to stop evolution.

Like in 2030 openai releases a full AGI model with a big red warning that says “don’t hook this up to the ‘fire the missiles’ button” but some idiot does. Or maybe they develop something with safeguards, but some community org like eleuther releases an “unshackled” version without safeguards and decides that the big red warning is sufficient… Metaphorically, in the limit of time to infinity, it feels like heading for a future where everyone alive has a button on their phone that says ‘fuck this all up’ and we just hope that nobody presses it.
