We want AI to be as intelligent as Humans. This is the holy grail. But humans are also whimsical, irrational and slave to emotions. So we are attempting to design a system which is replicate this nature as well.
So we want a system which we want it to behave in just about "perfect" manner (i.e. intelligent but not going astray). What passes as "perfect" is subjective and there will be different definitions of it.
Now to control this you want a capability to precisely define the allowed and dis-allowed behaviour. At this point we are essentially circling back to the software systems before the AI.
- hypercube33 2y agoThis is a really different take that I haven't seen before, or at least I thought I hadn't but in reality Star Trek and probably others before hit it too. I know what we have today is really auto complete 2.0 models that are really impressive good and bad but we are chasing that holy Grail as you mentioned. Star Trek specifically takes Data without emotions and later his brother lore who has emotions but is really the extreme of humanity and is basically as you say - uncontrollable. I think it's important as society takes its first steps towards AI or similar we really consider this more.
- cassianoleal 2y ago> Star Trek specifically takes Data without emotions and later his brother lore who has emotions Lore came before Data in the Trek lore (no pun intended), which also helps GP's argument - they went all the way, then when it misbehaved they dialled back to a less "perfect" but much simpler and more predictable solution.
- visarga 2y ago> Now to control this you want a capability to precisely define the allowed and dis allowed behaviour. I don't think regular software controls are flexible enough but there is research in making AI create its own "RLHF" fine-tuning dataset, like Constitutional AI from Anthropic. You only need to give it a few general guidelines and let it figure out the details. Never heard anyone complain Claude is unsafe or a bad chat experience.
- vouaobrasil 2y agoI certainly don't want AI to be as intelligent as humans. More intelligence won't help anything. More wisdom will, or the forethought to be cautious about our abilities.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 2y agoWhat 'we' want is an AI that can replace human workers with very low-cost machines that will do exactly what they are told without complaint or push-back. No more compromising or consideration of others wants or needs. Just give orders and have them carried out.
- devnull3 2y ago> will do exactly what they are told If you have to encode the exact if-else conditions, then how it is different than regular software development.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 2y agoit was a soft use of the word 'exactly' meaning 'do what I intended you to do'.
- devnull3 2y agoWe humans have to be exact about the word exact. This is my point really. Same with AI.
