I would say a machine that thinks it feels emotions is less likely to throw you out of a spaceship. Human empathy already feels lacking compared to what something as basic as llama-3 can do.
- layer8 2y agoWhat you say has nothing to do with how an AI speaks. To use another pop-culture reference, Obi-Wan in Episode IV had deep empathy, but didn’t speak emotionally. Those are separate things.
- thfuran 2y ago>I would say a machine that thinks it feels emotions is less likely to throw you out of a spaceship A lot of terrible human behavior is driven by emotions. An emotionless machine will never dump you out the airlock in a fit of rage.
- pixl97 2y agoAh, I was tossed out of the airlock in a fit of logic... totally different!
- throwup238 2y agoThe important part is that the machine explained its reasoning to you while purging the airlock.
- dimask 2y agoIn a chain of thought manner, as every proper AI, of course.
- satvikpendem 2y ago> I would say a machine that thinks it feels emotions is less likely to throw you out of a spaceship. Have you seen the final scene of the movie Ex Machina? Without spoilers, I'll just say that acting like has emotions is much more different than actually having them. This is in fact what socio- and psychopaths are like, with stereotypical results.
- elicksaur 2y agollama-3 can’t feel empathy, so this is rather confusing comment.
- moffkalast 2y agoCan you prove that you feel empathy? That you're not a cold unfeeling psychopath that is merely pretending extremely well to have emotions? Even if it did, we wouldn't be able to tell the difference from the outside, so in strictly practical terms I don't think it matters.
- elicksaur 2y agoIf I could logically prove that I feel empathy, I would be much more famous. I get your nuanced point, that “thinking” one feels empathy is enough to be bound by the norms of behavior that empathy would dictate, but I don’t see why that would make AI “empathy” superior to human “empathy”. The immediate future I see is a chatbot that is superficially extremely empathetic, but programmed never to go against the owner’s interest. Where before, when interacting with a human, empathy could cause them to make an exception and act sacrificially in a crisis case, this chatbot would never be able to make such an exception because the empathy it displays is transparent.
