I think the article is making two points
1 The LLM OpenAI approach is nothing special. Just statistics overhyped and sold to suckers
2 AI is a serious threat to working people everywhere, and must be resisted
I am very impressed by ChatGPT. So what if it all boils down to statistical models, perhaps if we had a proper model we could prove any cognition boils down to statistical models
One of the comman uses of power is to benefit the powerful at the expense of the powerless. AI models like this are powerful. It will be a real test of our democracies how we handle that power. In that respect there is nothing unusual about openAI
- osigurdson 4y agoThe main point of the article to sell copies of the author's book.
- pkdpic 4y agoGood points. Makes me think that picking on chatgpt as a target for ai resistance seems silly since its the most public but almost certainly not the most powerful llm. I'm imagining some cabal of elite string-pulling shadow masters shrugging their shoulders as we all resist open ai tools while they integrate private ai tools into stock manipulation, subliminal propaganda and advanced smart tv surveillance. At the very least we should probably be using chatgpt to prepare ourselves for the oncoming tidal wave of manipulative bs thats totally definitely coming. Or we could see this as an amazing tool for saving time on writing boring react components and regex that we've all earned through countless generations of menial medium article and email labor.
