OpenAI's ideas of humanities best interests were like a catholic mom's. Less morals are okay by me.
- rdtsc 3y ago> OpenAI's ideas of humanities best interests were like a catholic mom's How do you mean? Don’t see what OpenAI has in common with Catholicism or motherhood.
- ric2b 3y agoThey basically defined AI safety as "AI shouldn't say bad words or tell people how to do drugs" instead of actually making sure that a sufficiently intelligent AI doesn't go rogue against humanity's interests.
- SpicyLemonZest 3y agoI'm not sure where you're getting that definition from. They have a team working on exactly the problem you're describing. (https://openai.com/blog/introducing-superalignment https://openai.com/blog/introducing-superalignment)
- timeon 3y ago> getting that definition from That was not about actual definition fro OpenAi but about definition implied by user Legend2440 here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38344867 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38344867
- ric2b 3y agoSure, they might, but what you see in practice in GPT and being discussed in interviews by Sam is mostly the "AI shouldn't say uncomfortable things" version of AI "safety".

- mlrtime 3y agoWatching this unfold, I'm unsure armchair experts on HN would have executed this WORSE than the board did.
- bratbag 3y agoCan you put that in precise terms, rather than a silly analogy designed to play on peoples emotions? What exactly and precisely, with specifics, is in OpenAI's ideas of humanities best interests that you think are a net negative for our species?
- slg 3y agoI want the AI to do exactly what I say regardless of whether that is potentially illegal or immoral is usually what they mean.
- UrineSqueegee 3y agoIt doesn't have to be extreme like that, there is a healthy middle ground. For example I was reading the Quran and there is a mathematical error in a verse, I asked GPT to explain to me how the math is wrong it outright refused to admit that the Quran has an error while tiptoeing around the subject. Copilot refused to acknowledge it as well while providing a forum post made by a random person as a factual source. Bard is the only one that answered the question factually and provided results covering why it's an error and how scholars dispute that it's meant to be taken literally.
- slg 3y agoThis isn't a refutation of what I said. You asked the AI to commit what some would view as blasphemy. It doesn't matter whether you or I think it is blasphemy or whether you or I think that is immoral, you simply want the AI to do it regardless of whether it is potentially immoral or illegal.
- UrineSqueegee 3y ago>This isn't a refutation of what I said It is. >You asked the AI to commit what some would view as blasphemy If something is factual then is it more moral to commit blasphemy or lie to the user? Thats what the OP comment was talking about. Could go as far as considering it that it spreads disinformation which has many legal repercussions. >you simply want it to do it regardless of whether it is potentially immoral or illegal. So instead it lies to the user instead of saying I cannot answer because some might find the answer offensive that or something to that extent?
