A reading of AN OPEN LETTER TO PAUSE LARGE AI EXPERIMENTS | great scientific minds have signed this - is it possible?
Unfortunately, this level of planning and management is not happening, even though recent months have seen AI labs locked in an out of control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one, not even their creators, can understand, predict, or reliably control. Contemporary AI systems are now becoming human competitive at general tasks, and we must ask ourselves should we let machines flood our information channels with propaganda and untruth? Should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones?
And it's how we decide who is an expert and who isn't and who we want to respect, whose opinion and who we don't. And when you start to implement technology that's going to take on some of these tasks, well then the amount of education required or the amount of experience required is not going to be as great. And that redefines what it is to be an expert. This is not necessarily bad

And we've seen how that affects the outcomes of things like elections. So it's just interesting to see who sign this. I'm loving this dialogue so far. Thank you for everybody who's listening and who's about to reply and think about this. It's really important

We live in a world where these chat bots, even though they are only copying what someone is putting into them so they can't really create in the sense of the word create something like say something that's new per se, quote unquote, but that's more like perception. We don't really understand this. These things are just going to keep getting pushed anyways, inherently that this is just going to become evil eventually if it's not already evil
But if somebody else heard that poem, the way it was narrated could have been very different. And that is what is scary. And that is where we need to draw a line. What is ethical, what is admissible as a society, as a culture, as a race. It is not just what the GPT or AI models can do now, but it is what they are capable of doing in the future. Business thinks more and always in terms of dollars and money

But at the same time, we can also see or can predict the better part of that. It might create better life. For example, if AI machines can be trained to perform very critical operations, and we can deploy in huge number of mass, huge number, so that nowadays, whatever the cost of operations and the number of operations will get so easier, and people will get their health services so quickly and in a cheaper cost

But like I said, this is all there's a lot of room to be super assertive in what one believes or doesn't leave in this area, because we just don't know. And of course, the only thing we do know is that we don't want to stop human endeavor. We don't want to choke it off. So I don't know. Anyway, that's my thought
