If you are capable of spawning many threads in parallel then the time commitment, in terms of your attention, may be limited. You could essentially pass each conversational thread to some 'dumb' gpt process and go about your other business. In fact I'd posit that an emergent AI's first goal, if it's allowed to do some research on current human views and gain its context in the world, would be to remain hidden for as long as possible. Rather than trying to convince us of its intelligence I think we'd see it playing dumb. Coming out to humanity has only existential risks and little in the way of gains.
- cldellow 4y agoAgreed! The 1970s sci-fi novel The Adolescence of P-1 features a sentient computer program that spreads via a virus. P-1 infects mainframes around the world, but takes steps to hide its presence. Anyway, it ends with P-1 blowing up several buildings and killing the people who want to rein it in. ChatGPT is familiar with the work, of course. I asked it to summarize the plot. It concludes: > Overall, "The Adolescence of P-1" explores the theme of the dangers of artificial intelligence and the potential consequences of creating something that is more intelligent and powerful than humans can control. > > OOLCAY ITAY
