If the solution to a problem is obvious and agreed upon by everyone, you don't need political mechanisms to make a decision.
Politics is best-suited to issues of resource contention and coordination that aren't distillable to a clear set of goals that everyone agrees on.
- seydor 3y agoWe can agree on mechanisms to accept or reject solutions, which is basically what representatives do. An AI can be a representative, subject to election like humans do. There is nothing inherently superior about flesh and blood. A political AI will be more measurable, more transparent and probably a lot more intelligent
- hammyhavoc 3y agoWhy would it be more transparent if the data isn't human-readable and only the output is? Thus you can never know how it may have been interfered with, whereas politicians leave a paper trail. A hypothetical AGI could well be more intelligent, but an LLM lacks all the qualities required to be a politician of any description.
- seydor 3y agomaybe i live in a different universe but very little is transparent about elected politicians, while we can always demand model to provide measures of its performance to guarantee that it is optimizing and not degrading
