Perhaps, I don't discount the possibility that an LLM could be used as a primitive as part of a larger more complex system that could rightfully be called intelligent.
But a script running a LLM in an OODA loop is a lot easier to monitor and control than some inscrutable "ghost in the parameters" that a lot of AI alarmists seem worried about. You can actually see a transcript of its "thoughts", for one!
- Footkerchief 3y agoWe already have self-replicating scripts that can prove very hard to detect and destroy, even without the benefit of LLM-powered fuzzing and social engineering.
- lukev 3y agoFirst of all, we're assuming that agents are (at least initially) designed intentionally, not as harmful viruses. Second, running a LLM inference (nevermind training!) involves lots and lots of system resources. Much more difficult to hide than a tiny backdoor.
