Yes there is
It's just a whole lot more violent than you're imagining
- nba456_ 5mo agoNo, there isn't. At this point you would have to wipe out humanity to get rid of AI. And then hope nothing else ever evolves intelligence.
- csande17 5mo agoYou'd have to wipe out, like, at MOST about ten executives and star engineers.
- empath75 5mo agoWhy do you imagine this would change _anything_? There's a voluminous amount of code and documentation on how to build and run LLMs. You can build your own chatgpt literally in a weekend and run it on a home server, based on publicly available models. If OpenAI and Anthropic literally evaporated overnight, there would still be Chinese labs training and releasing new models.
- bluefirebrand 5mo agoWell then the Chinese labs need to evaporate too
- joquarky 5mo agoDo you think that's going to erase every copy of "Attention is all you need"?
- bluefirebrand 5mo agoWe don't have to get rid of AI entirely to reverse this trend
- metaltyphoon 5mo agoSociety is just 3 meals away from going that route
- endymion-light 5mo agoI'm sorry - but you're not going to ban AI no more than you can ban the transistor. You could limit & limit the potential of who uses it - but historically that seems to benefit the few rather than the many.
- dgellow 5mo agoBanning doesn't mean the thing you ban disappears, you're stretching the definition quite a lot. The limit you're talking about is what a ban is. I would personally support a complete ban on AI technology impersonating humans. At no point would I expect that would completely get rid of the phenomenon. But it should be seen as extremely cringe and face meaningful push back, given how antisocial and antihuman that is.
