Oh come on, LLMs are not neutron bombs, the hyperbole clouds the conversation...
- RelativeDelta 4y agoFair enough. I do hope it successfully sold the seriousness of the issue to our more emotionally driven readership.
- Zetice 4y agoIt's not that serious, is my point.
- RelativeDelta 4y agoIt absolutely is. LLMs are already being used as mediums of information access and will continue to grow in that role. Information filters/access has a huge role in informing public sentiment, that makes LLMs a massive propaganda vector to be employed for whichever purpose it's controller's wish. Their effectiveness IN that role is also likely to be beyond anything we've ever seen before.
- Zetice 4y agoLiterally everything an LLM can do can also be done by a human (and substantially worse), but for some reason you inherently trust them? Hammers are better at hitting nails into wood than a human hand, but we're not all losing our minds at the fact that you can also smash a human skull in with a hammer. The laws apply to the human not the object, and that remains true here.
