>When a human makes a mistake, the human can be found responsible Where corporations or similar entities (law firms, Hospitals, etc, the vast majority of human workers) are concerned, humans are rarely held accountable. Getting fired is not being held accountable. That's just getting rid of a liability and is an option available for AI as well. If negligence of proper quality processes causes a shipment of products to blow up, then the compensation for a new product, possible medical bills and other damages are almost never paid off by the negligent human(s) but by the corporation he/she worked for. A corporation can be sued to bankruptcy while it's employees and even CEO and/or founder are financially just fine. >and in the vast majority of cases just having been informed about the mistake will ensure that they don't make that mistake again. Perhaps. Perhaps not. There is far from a guarantee. >However the same cannot be said of AI. A current generation medical AI could simultaneously ace exams for getting an MD and confidently lie to patients about basic health knowledge for no discernable reason, on par with intentionally giving an untreated dysfunctional schizophrenic an MD. AI can have failure modes different from humans. This is true. This is also something we have dealt with and currently deal with. Animals don't have the same failure modes as humans either. We work with them still because they are useful all the same. And frankly, this is becoming far less of an issue as LLMs are being scaled up. I do not think GPT-4 is really susceptible to this particular issue you have mentioned. >Even if Google Assistant or Siri were literal human secretaries, they'd be completely useless if they required being within arms reach of a device where you can just type and read. Speech is simply not an efficient enough communication method. Secretaries exist still for a reason. If you had one accessible via speech on your phone, you would do far more than what Siri and Google Assistant are capable of. But sure, everyone will have different utilities for one.
