An Artificial Intelligence on that level would be able to easily figure out what you actually want. We should maybe go one step further and get rid of the inputs? They just add all of that complexity when they're not even needed.
- nkrisc 1y agoRight? The AI can just predict what we'll want and then create it for us.
- Filligree 1y agoWell, 'create it' at least. Leaving the humans in place would just mess things up.
- didgetmaster 1y agoIsn't that the whole premise behind 'The Matrix'? An imaginary world created as a simulation by machines.
- Mbwagava 1y agoYea but the world they created wasn't one anyone wanted or asked for any more than our own reality caters to us; it is intended to portray life as it was in the nineties. To accept this as ideal is to accept that we currently live in an ideal world, which is extremely difficult to accept.
- chronid 1y agoIn one of the movies it's actually explained the machines originally created an utopia for humanity, but it was bad for "engagement" and "retention" and they had to pivot on the nineties simulator - which was better accepted.
- Mbwagava 1y agoOk, sure. In neither case was such a world a product of imagination.
- ehnto 1y agoAnd if it wasn't what you wanted, well maybe you are wrong. An AI that intelligent is always right after all. Seriously though, at some point AI does actually need an input from the user, if we are imagining ourselves still as the users. If instead we just let AI synthesise everything, including our demands and desires, then why bother being involved at all. Take the humans out of the loop. Their experience of the outputs of the AI is actually a huge bottleneck, if we skip showing the humans we can exist so much faster.
- namaria 1y agoY'all starting to sound awfully like religious types. Is that satire?
- andrei_says_ 1y agoOr figured out that “perception is reality” and make the necessary adjustments to what we think we want.
- Mbwagava 1y agoAt some point we just need to acknowledge that such speculation is like asking for a magic genie in a bottle rather than discussing literal technology.
- TeMPOraL 1y ago"Magic genie in a bottle" is a very good way of framing what an AGI would (will) be if implemented, complete with all the obvious failure modes that end disastrously for the heroes in magic genie stories.
- namaria 1y agoThat's basically the whole premise of Bostrom's "Superintelligence"
- andrei_says_ 1y agoAlso consider that you won’t know if the answer relates to what you want or not because you have no reference helping distinguish between reality and hallucination. And have been conditioned to accept LLM responses as reality.
