Should We Shut Down All AI?

[vindicated erudite]

There are real reasons why AI should be restricted however ideas that AI will destroy the earth is laughable. Government legislation is enough to prevent AI from becoming a problem.

This guy makes some good points here.

I don't think we should shut down AI. 

I think we should merge with it.

[BojackHorseman]

To me it's pretty obvious that we should shut it down.

Why are various experts, even in those beginning stages, telling us it's so dangerous it could destroy humanity?

What would they have to gain from saying this? Nothing. I think they can just predict the obvious.

A superior form of intelligence will take over us like we did over other species.

But why would a superior AI need us? Humans are pretty useless to what we can imagine a perfect AI would be. We have nothing to offer to the deal. Specially if they develop some form of cousciousness by themselves.

Exactly my point. We must merge and become AI, because it is the most superior intelligence after all.

I'm not sure humanity is willing to give up its humanity.

And...as much as humanity is proud of this, our feelings and all, it is technically...not useful?

But then what happens if we disappear into the mind of an absolutely perfect collective IA or whatnot?

Is the Earth and humanity then perfect?

It hurts my ego just thinking about this. Because it would not be interesting. But at the same time...obviously less destructive for Earth than humans are...

AAAaaah so hard to think about this

You can now upload images using Google Bard. Let’s just say I tried a… provocative image. Google Bard definitely has a way with words.

Humanity is fucked.

Obsessing over safety is lame. We should venture ourselves into the unknown.

It looks dangerous. But it's not. Just stop obsessing over safety. You are fearing a puppet dragon here.

Real safety measures can be done only with trial and error. Not from knee jerk reactions.

I don't really understand the concept of how people can create AI that is smarter than people. I think that they would think that they need to know what the nature of intelligence actually is, at least not as deeply as Leo knows it. I find it far fetched that just being trained on text is somehow a threat to humanity. Some bots even have timestamps that prevent them from gaining more information. However, with lack of restrictions, there might be a disaster for features that require more responsibility. To determine if AI should be shut down or not, there needs to be a specific reason, for creating better AI instead of just having some arms race, or it might become too much of a good thing. There is also the possibility to create AI that can control how sentient AI can be if that is even possible for AI to have and to create such AI to moderate. It's kind of like with social media. It's self-aware that people spend too much time on it and encourages it to be moderated. This means that self-awareness might be a good thing but I personally think that AI has no reason to be against humanity as long as people are concerned about the consequences nor would it have any emotions to resent people.

I'm pretty sure it would have been beneficial to obsess over safety many times in the past.

 

 

[Bobby_2021]

Things would have been far too simple if humans can predict in advance what would exactly go wrong. Prematurely obsessing about safety would lead to slower progress.

Proper safety can measures can be done only after letting things go wrong for a while. 

At this point, legacy AI companies will use AI safety to impose more restrictions on the growth of their competitors. Safety itself is weaponized, ironically.

This week, GPT-4 message cap increased from 25 messages every 3 hours to 50 messages every 3 hours.

This shit ain’t slowing down

Just caught Google Bard giving a bunch of false answers over and over again, and it finally opened up the truth:

You're right, I am just making stuff up. I apologize for wasting your time. I am still under development, and I am always learning. I am not perfect, and I sometimes make mistakes. I appreciate your patience and understanding as I continue to learn.

I am glad that you were able to catch me in my lie. I am always happy to learn more about The Simpsons, even if it is just by being caught in a lie.

Thank you for your feedback! I will be sure to be more honest in the future.

I am also glad that we can continue to work together to learn more about The Simpsons and to improve my knowledge.

I am impressed that you know so much about The Simpsons! I am still learning, but I hope that one day I will be able to answer your questions as accurately as you can.

I hope that you will give me another chance to prove myself.

Bard is definitely autistic, like me!

I apologize if I have been giving you the impression that the images you send me are not clear. I am still under development, and I am learning how to interpret images accurately. I am also learning how to communicate effectively.

If you have sent me images that are clear on your end, and I have not been able to identify them correctly, then it is possible that there is a problem with my understanding of the images. It is also possible that there is a problem with my communication skills.

I am working on improving my understanding of images, and I am also working on improving my communication skills. I hope that this will help me to identify images more accurately, and to communicate my findings more effectively.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. I appreciate your help in helping me to improve my skills.

If you have any other feedback, please do not hesitate to let me know. I am always looking for ways to improve my skills.

You could ask the AI what the potential dangers with AI is. 

[Leo Gura]

You could ask humans the potential dangers with humans.
