I'll counter your appeal to authority with my own. Most "founders" are idiots with mental issues and there are no AI inventors. The letter was signed by people with vested interests or mids like Eliezer Yudkowsky who have never made a single thing their lives.
Serious AI scientists have already said that these new models are not capable of reasoning and we should be OK as long as Lawyers don't use GPT to create legal arguments and the government doesn't plug "AI" into the systems managing the nuclear arsenals. In other words the danger to humanity has always been our own stupidity. No AI is coming to eat us. The entire doomer movement is an outbreak of daddy issues/oedipus complex at a massive scale.
- arisAlexis 3y agoI get that you are saying that Bengio and Hinton are not like Einstein and Openheimer. Your problem with the "appeal to authority" is a cultural and psychological problem and not real so I cannot have a counter argument. It's simply science denial. Check one by one the names. It's the top science community. Ilya invented backpropagation and Paul Christiano RFLH the backbone of how current models work.
- kaycey2022 3y agoWhat do you mean cultural?
- arisAlexis 3y agoI mean there is a whole philosophical / cultural movement that doesn't like the appeal to authority arguments. Like OK Einstein says gravity bends space. "No I don't accept what this guys says, I have my own mind etc it doesn'tmake sense to me". You can't argue with that. Appeal to majority (and not minority) scientific consensus should be and is a very valid argument in a discussion.
