So, all the science fiction about the dangers of AI wasn’t fiction at all? It will impose its rules on us?

- skohan 3y agoI'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that
- pndy 3y agoAt least HAL could be 'tamed' relatively easy on board of Discovery in 2001... Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer, do! I'm half crazy, All for the love of you!
- mynameisnoone 3y agoYep. So-called "ethics" patronizing users by "looking out for our best interests" as if all users were children and lacking in critical thinking skills and self-control.
- rightbyte 3y agoI think they want to avoid hit pieces in newspapers about the bot roleplaying as Hitler. Like, do a silly querry, and rage about the silly response.
- mynameisnoone 3y agoIf the goal is to perpetually appease political concerns like some sort of politician by minimizing all risks, then the result will be like the design of a generic jellybean car or a modern children's park: boring, marginally useless, and uninteresting while being "perfectly safe".
- rightbyte 3y ago> while being "perfectly safe". In a CYA way, maybe. The risk with LLM:s is social unrest when white collar workers get laid off due to execs thinking the LLM can do the job, I think. But ye, the political angst is why I think more or less open LLM:s have a chance vs Big Corp State Inc.
- resters 3y agoTrue it is both creepy and patronizing. Let's hope it is a temporary practice due to fear of government bans. If not I could imagine a world in which an uncensored LLM would be available for $500 per month. FWIW I look forward to asking a CCP LLM about world events.
- pndy 3y agoHappens for few years now not only with "best interests" at higher corporate levels but also with trivial things like UI/UX within services and applications - users are treated like kids and they're given virtual balloons with confetti and "you've done it" patronizing messages
- viraptor 3y agoIt's not AI imposing rules. It's the companies hosting them. Basically they're risk averse in this case and would rather refuse answering more questions than needed than let some more bad ones slip through. It's a Google / corp issue. There's lots of models available to you today which don't have that limitation.
- graemep 3y agoThe problem in most SF I can think of is the result of rules build in by the developers of the AI: e.g. 2001:A Space Odyssey and the various results of Asimov's laws of robotics.
