Ai telling you to eat rocks might be funny. Ai telling you to mix bleach and vinegar is not.
With reach any type of an authoritative answer will find enough people that take it at face value.
Computer mistakes have been costly in the past (excel and Greece?), AI encourages lack of scrutiny despite all the lip service given to mark the answers as “potentially” wrong. It’s not too hard to imagine a future where AI will be used to make decisions that no one will try to understand or verify.
- ppppo 2y agoThanks, I see. I guess the real issue is the reach. For now at least I don't see ai having that sort of reach that would make me uneasy, like interacting with kids in video games. I can see how it should have guard rails there on what to say. However, since llms are approximations of the same neural nets as humans, I wonder if it will ever be 100% safe. Even with humans who we assume to be for sure good have bad intent sometimes (eg doctors, teachers abusing kids).
- genewitch 2y ago> imagine a future where AI will be used to make decisions i'd have to check my journal but i am fairly certain this has been the case for at least a decade and a half - AI making decisions that negatively affect people without justification or recourse. I know the (apocryphal) "go-to" is amazon binning resumes but there are other ones; but ALPR (mixed with human error,) other traffic management systems, the weird "racist" "AI" in boston or baltimore (or whatever), lending/credit. nevermind the chaos that is online advertising.
