Would you suppose said junkies would be taking advice from a qualified medical professional otherwise?
For that matter, would you suppose that they don’t know what they’re doing is bad for them? Witness the smokers who crack jokes about “cancer sticks” as they light up.
It seems to me that, just as we all promise our dentists we floss every day and our doctors that we promise we’ll eat better, we might be more prone to be frank with “anonymous” chatbots—and thus get more frank advice in return, at least for clear-cut factual background and tradeoffs.
- sgt101 1y agoI totally agree if the chatbots are actually reliable and controllable. LLMs have real problems with both of those things, they are unreliable in the sense that they produce text with factual inaccuracies and they are uncontrollable in that it's really hard to predict their behaviour from their past behaviour. Big open challenges in AI - I am sure that there will be solutions, but there aren't right now. I think it's very like self driving cars. Implementing a demo and showing it on the road is one thing, but then it takes twenty years before the slow roll out really gets underway.
