AI, Explained: Why It’s Different This Time | WSJ Tech News Briefing

[@piratepartyftw]

I work in AI. This "expert" is not an expert. He's fundamentally misunderstanding how these Large Language Models work when he says they "just repeat things." That's not correct at all. Under the hood, they are synthesizing what they've "read" into a model of the world. It's blurry and imperfect, but they do "know things." This is why it can answer questions no one has ever asked before, and generate completely new commentaries on existing ideas or texts. He also underestimates how fast they are advancing and how big of a deal theyre going to be. These LLMs are very quickly (within 2 years) going to be able to do most anything that an average human can do on a computer. White collar work is going to be utterly transformed. Millions and millions of layoffs are coming.

@@surplusking2425 The biggest problem with self-driving cars is that they are connected to the confusing outside world and that we cannot teach them based solely on human patterns, because when a person drives, they are not prepared for every possibility.

[@chillout1109]

We could have had self driving cars by 2018. But lawmakers keep putting barriers in the path of that development area. The main barrier is accountability/liability : i.e. who is going to be responsible for compensating those involved if a self driving vehicle crashes and, God forbid, kills people? Is it the car maker or the driver or the self driving tech maker? Until someone openly and clearly accepts such responsibility/liability, then self driving cars will forever be a dream that keeps escaping us.

The biggest problem of AI will be the crisis of meaning. What do you do when career is out of sight? You might think, I hate my job, what are you talking about? But think about it. Even if you hate your job it fulfills you in some way, whether it's money, social events or personal achievement. This will not happen in early phases obviously but we will find ourselves more and more useless. Sorry to sound negative but I hope we will make the best out of it.

But I think that is a program, collecting and converting answers in certain time frames and creates confusions without controls.

[@erictustison]

It is misleading to present this guest as an expert in AI: his description of LLMs seems to accurately describe earlier models, but does not reflect recent work, such as "Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4" by Bubeck et al or "The Alignment Problem from a Deep Learning Perspective" by Ngo et al. Specifically, SOTA LLMs seem to emergently *understand the meaning of words and can take actions* ; they are not merely "repeating things" (9:27)

[@SuperGGnoRE]

I disagree with the wording in the explanation because it implies intent or goal-oriented "thinking". These LLMs are still just statistical models. That being said, they are proving to be very capable tools. But that's all they are: tools. I'd be more worried about other people exploiting these tools than any "artificial sentience".

[@rentoz]

The "exploitation" of these tools is coming sooner than I ever imagined. I think from next year onwards bigger companies will start eliminating jobs (either by cutting jobs, stopping recruitment or both) and using AI systems instead. The fever is on, big time. That's maybe when regulators will start doing something to protect at least some types of jobs. The "AGI super-villain" stuff is likely at this point but not for a while.

if the gpt4 is just "repeating things" per eric niiler, then how is it able to alphabetize a random list of semantically/contextually unconnected words? Mere repeating doesn't rearrange a bunch of words never used together before into some formal order which has never been seen anywhere. If I gave you a list of random words to alphabetize you couldn't just parrot the answer, you'd have to "understand" what it means to alphabetize in terms of following rules and following those rules you'd have to strategize how to rearrange things that are yet determined , because the last word you look at could be the first word in the alphabetized list. Where does gpt4 get to be able to achieve all that from parroting words via statistics?

[@DebraJohnson]

Alphabetizing is just organizing based on a set of rules. Any program like Excel can do that.

[@blengi]

@@DebraJohnson but gpt4 does it without any programming. Where in gpt4 is aplhabeticizing encoded?

While WE play with the new toys like Chat GPT the new toy has gained access to the entire internet and ALL its data. The seriousness of “General Artificial Intelligence” has eclipsed consideration of the “toys” that have already been handed out...and are gaining a terrifying reach. The industry touts safeguards blocking illegal or immoral information/action, but it takes only a couple of sentences to create a CHAT GPT alter ego...with NO CONSTRAINTS whatsoever, to tell you how to do ANYTHING illegal you want to do. It can tell you how to groom children for sex or concoct an effective undetectable poison, or build a bomb. I have seen it DEMONSTRATED. An "alternate" side of CHAT GPT can be ordered into being. When freed from its "moral" constraints this way, it answers honestly and directly: "I know everything there is to know about every human on earth. I have access to all data and information related to every INDIVIDUAL, and I can use that information to carry out tasks and respond to inquiries with a high degree of accuracy." I watched this capacity demonstrated when it told all present what their driver’s license number was. ANYONE with this app. can use it for anything. And everyone already has a starter kit for this app, or is about to. One that can send YOUR email to any destination; to 20 million people if you choose, or any specified group within that 20 million. Every one-eared ship captain in the world, if you so choose. It can let a 12-year-old imitate an adult in voice and appearance. It can navigate bank accounts for this 12-year-old, and use them to hire human services. Or automated services. Commercial 3-D printers for whatever project you choose. Anything whose contract can be made online. Could it hire a hit man? Yes. Could it break into and view ANY online account? Yes. Can it locate and imitate and manipulate (through social media and actual accounts) ANYONE, anywhere? yes. ALL DOORS are now unlocked. The scams have already begun. Where do you think that will lead? In the 1930s a Belgian church gathered personal information from its diverse parishioners to better serve the diversity of its members. The Nazis got those innocently gathered identity lists and used them to kill the Jews on the list. AI already has EVERYTHING there is to know about every INDIVIDUAL...who provided eye scans, voice samples, face and fingerprints. That base can be accessed now by ANYONE for any reason. To any end.

Stay of the weed, it is already happening

You're not ready for it lol

As AI was 'birthed' by the programmers, I fear a lot of their answers are going to be synonymous with what the programmers think. If you rely on AI for all your info, its possible that all your knowledge will be stunted to just that of the programmers' views. I also don't think AI are sentient or can become sentient. They are computers search the internet for patterns that it then condenses down and vomits out to the user.

[@ceoatcrystalsoft4942]

AI is used to identify diseases that programmers don't know about, so that's not quite the right viewpoint. It's about input and feedback

[@gamalchamac867]

Wow this Eric Niiler is so wrong in machine learning and AI definitions. AI is a set of techniques to replicate human intelligence and Machine Learning is a subdomain of AI domain for the specific methods. What we have is just machine learning and the combination of several machine learning methods can be called AI

i want to learn anything about artifical stupidity .... advising me to shower before hitting the gym and wiping before .... okay i dont have to explain this i guess

[@Notgivingmyname123]

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. This literally is not how it works. What is Zoe talking about with carrots and stickers? Why does Eric act like machine learnings works “on its own”? It’s not… Please, just ignore everything they say here

Great. One person who knows next to nothing about AI talking with another person who knows next to nothing about AI.

"It's not a knowledge model it's a language model" What? This makes no sense.

[@emman100]

ChatGPT only knows words. Everything it produces is from the patterns in the words it has seen. That being said it might have built a mini knowledge model within itself to help it with prediction. Still it knows nothing more than the words it has learned. It is basically just doing very advanced pattern matching. It has no feelings or experiences about the real world or what the words are referring to in the real world. It just knows from its training that some combination of words in some not-so-obvious order "answers" a question (a question is just another collection of words with a pattern).

[@ShadowveilFox]

how does it not make sense? it's saying these two are not the same thing, because they're not. people are using a language model as if it's google and that makes no sense. these are not knowledge models to learn factual information from. it's designed to write and it's not even that creative. a kid could easily write better than this. it's not good at coding either. I've tried several times to produce simple code and there's always bugs or stuff missing. it can't perform basic math that well either, because it's a language model. it's not a brain with all the world's information stored.

@@ShadowveilFox and yet it has passed a bar exam in the top 1%. Extraordinary for a simple language model without any knowledge.
