Pichai's exaggerating when he said AI is better, or will be better, than fire or electricity. But I must say BARD has nicer graphs --- mathematical and chemistry charts and graphs --- than GPT4. Or at least that's what I saw, when I used both last week. BARD instantly display vertical, normal symbol wring styles like we would do in grade school days, whereas GPT4 would do the "leaning" graphics... e.g. 1/2, 2^3, etc. Unfortunately, on the more serious regulation thing: 99.99% of politicians wouldn't know any thing about AL and so they'd simply ask that THEIR HERO be given more positive descriptive adjectives. For example, Jordan Peterson: "How did ChatGPT only gave me 5 positive adjectives on Trump and 45 on Biden? That's not right!" But, more seriously, I hope GPT, BARD, etc. don't start lying to people and describe Trump or Hitler or Putin or Xi as "one of the most humble, moral, ethical, righteous, tolerant, kind, giving, charitable, peace long, positive, uplifting, mature, honest, trust worthy, diplomatic, and intelligent leaders of mankind..."

[@tarico4436]

AI to be more profound than the discovery of that fun area in your pants, more like it. #1 it should be the "taming of fire." #2 it should be the "domestication of electricity." It's been around forever--static electricity, lightning, hello? We just didn't domesticate it till the 19th Century.

[@alexkizer639]

I work in tech. Here’s the thing with these current AIs: they’re incredibly powerful but also unwieldy. Like, they still make stuff up sometimes, get things wrong, and in general are unpredictable. The fundamental downside is that they are so called “black boxes”, which means we just give them inputs and then judge the outputs but there is no way currently of knowing HOW they output what they output. It’s clear that they’ve learned the structure and patterns of language but it’s not possible to open them up and watch them work and say “oh that’s that pathway lighting up” for example. That’s why they’re dangerous and can really only be used if what they output is verified and cleaned up. Problem is that some companies are moving too fast IMO and willing to risk some of that incorrectness. We have to be responsible

A lot of what is being called "AI" today is really just automated pattern recognition. But what Google, et al, are talking about is the real thing: heuristic algorithms that can learn jobs and improve processes. The problem is not one of technology, but one of ethics, because this is exceedingly dangerous territory. I did a very little work in this (with LISP and C) in post grad and many of the professors were urging caution with some of the algorithm designs. I worked on simulations of process improvement and the first thing the algorithms did was recommend removing the humans from the process. We have seen what kind of rioting is produced by extending the retirement age by two years in one country. Imagine the civil unrest when the Technocracy deprecates entire industries overnight and tells millions of suddenly unemployable people they should "learn to code."

Private companies motivated by profits cannot be trusted to pursue this without regulation. Individual governments cannot be trusted to be the sole regulators; they too must be overseen and regulated with this type of tech. The possibilities of misuse by bad faith actors cannot be ignored. Even neutral actions and good intentions could lead to significant consequences with this type of tech. We need to think really damn hard about every possibility we can before go down this road and do it carefully. Final thought; look at how much life has changed since the advent of the internet a few decades ago, or even smartphones in the 00s. We haven't even had time to adapt to that (it will take us hundreds of generations if we go by pure evolutionary time) and it those advances have come with huge downsides in addition to the positives (ie depression, isolation, the rise of misinformation and anti-intellectualism, etc). We need time to deal with what we've already done before we jump into something so significant that those other advances pale in comparison. Just because we can does not mean we need to.
