Jordan Peterson’s Thoughts on Artificial Intelligence

@@jonathansaindon788 Abundance leads to a drop in value, however something's utility does not disappear when it becomes abundant. What this means is that even though we will never all be millionaires because of an abundance of gold, we might all have faster cellphones and cheaper electricity and marvelous machines that are not possible using only copper. So we will all be richer absolutely(how we live), but not relatively(in relationship to those around us).

As a green small town young man I attended a big city university eager to discover what the world outside my formerly narrow pre-internet existence could fill my mind with. The first, and several subsequent, lectures by humanities professor Ekbert Faas absolutely filled me with the idea of how the amount of what is out there to know is unfathomable. As I met people with great knowledge, and experienced those of that number who shared it and explained its concepts with no agenda other than to hopefully move the knowledge forward, I was thirsty to soak up as much as I could. There were moments of feeling amazingly inspired; something a small northern town upbringing hardly ever gave rise to. I ultimately didn’t pursue an intellectual path (probably due to a lack of confidence based on a lack of self esteem but I’m over that, I hope, and life is moving forward). It has been very satisfying to discover interviews with Professor Peterson over the past several years of KZbin development. It has greatly advanced the intellectual level of my life. Feels good. Thank you Sir.

Gosh... There is soo much shade thrown around here. Here is what I see. An individual who appreciated broadening horizons. But naive enough not to be aware of the pretentiousness in some of these institutions. But why the discouragement? What I also see is a person with a better trajectory in life regardless, because the the expanded vocabulary itself. It just depends on what's the intent. Either use the words as pretentious fluff, or use it like tools to better understand reality and seek truths gems hidden in all the little cracks and crevices down rabbit holes that Dr. Peterson and other great people has uncovered for us already. The words we use essentially changes how we think. And when a new word is learned, that's another mental Lego piece, to use and play around with in our minds. Think of all the beautiful shapes we can make in our paragraphs we write, as well as words we speak to people. Simple words, simple minds and the opposite is true. It takes time and effort to even acquire more words and effectively use them, pretentiousness or not. And besides, it's much easier to reason with a person with expanded vocabulary regardless. God speed and keep going on your hero's journey buddy.

His statement that “even the people who are on top of it (AI) can’t keep up” is honestly an understatement. I work in the field, and trust me when I say nobody knows what the fuck is happening or what is even capable with the tools we’re creating. If an “expert” disagrees with this, then you can trust that they are not an expert.

[@yzz9833]

@chocolatemoeze I mean yes, but this isn’t what I or Jordan meant. The black box issue is due to hidden layers, which is a separate issue aside from the exploration of capabilities. What we’re talking about is the fact that new and better models (such as the rapid advancement in LLMs) are being created and surpassed by even newer and better models before researchers can truly assess what the old models are even capable of. Before you know it, we may trigger something that’s inescapable.

Also, we are the only known sentient beings in our Universe. That is pretty significant in itself. There's no resource known to us more rare than sentient life.

[@uponeric36]

Well that's a hard statement to make when you consider the world. We might be grains of sand, but we have the potential of giants. Most people will have a very controlled, localized impact on the world, especially people with low access to electricity and the open internet which is the majority of the world at the moment. Regardless amongst the "sand" are leaders, billionaires, highly public speakers. And if you're speaking more generally about our place in the broader universe, what's the point? All you will ever know, for all you know, is this world and this life. And think, if you could even be 1/8th as well known or "heard" as Jordan Peterson for example, you would indeed be on of the most public figures in the world. Hell you'd probably still be that at 1/16th the popularity. Instead of ignoring your potential, giant impact, we should take responsibility to handle our impact with care. Frankly, it is a struggle to reckon with. You have more potential for power than the fascist ever did. Imagine if the word of Hitler was translated in multiple languages world wide the moment he spoke them. With AI, that type of real time translation will be possible to a decent enough extent. With social media the distribution of such would be simple, more a matter of investment than anything; and here's the killer part: with advanced enough chat bots acting you could fake a internet wide consensus in agreement with the nazi's. It's not fiction, it's nearly possible today (real time translation and getting enough social media bots without being shut down, and the resistance to fascist branding would be your only problems in this case. Only three things preventing the possibility of a fake internet wide consensus on genocide...) We are quickly, blazing past the point where *anything* on the internet can be believed to be part of a genuine discussion. So ever worse is the fact that we have to take responsibility right now, we can't excuse ourselves as sand playing a small part, not on scale our eyes look at, at this time in the world. Guilty Gear puts it well: "Heaven; Or Hell?"

[@bioblazepayne]

@@uponeric36 while I agree we will have a very localized impact on the world, but I would also like to state, but not in time. For every person we teach, every child we have and raise, each person we interacted with echo's across eternity. As long as our actions continue to effect others, their life will be effected, and others through them. A quote from Edward Norton Lorenz, "When a butterfly flutters its wings in one part of the world, it can eventually cause a hurricane in another." now image that in time. Every action we do, this very post here striking a conversation, sparking a intelligent discussion. Though meaningless has impacts far beyond our localized world, far beyond it in the scope of time. I love this world, I love the people on it. I love life itself, and the meaning that it provides. I hope all of my actions, will become my echo's into eternity. For my life is but a grain of sand in the infinite beach of time. But through my actions, hopefully. The sandcastle will one day be complete. I'll settle for my localized impacts, and hope that my echo's reach farther.

I want to perform an experiment on a college campus to test Gen Z's (my generation's) social skills. We'll have 40 or so students brought in over the course of a couple of months. And we'll tell them all that we have an AI we're testing out, and by random selection we have determined whether they will talking with the AI chatbot or one of the lab assistants. And at the end of the half hour long conversation they will have to guess whether they were talking with a human or an AI. And we will tell them that the AI has been trained to think it is a human, so no questions about being an AI are allowed. However, in reality, on the other end will be another one of the kids we're performing the experiment on, no AI at all. So it's a reverse Turing test. Not seeing if an AI seems like a human, but whether humans seem like humans. And my fear is that 9/10 times they'll all think each other are robots not humans.

[@lavienestpasunlongfleuvetr2559]

You cannot know that. He's certainly one of the most PUBLIC, but just because you don't SEE better thinkers doesn't mean they're not there. He certainly has blind spots, and some of them are pretty basic: he doesn't seem to grasp that no one's ever going to want to marry certain men because they're too creepy and unattractive, so 'enforced monogamy', i.e. a strong culture of marriage, is not going to help them or change their single status, and if some of them do manage to marry, they'll likely be terrible, abusive spouses. Then there's his primitive understanding of women and why they wear makeup. He thinks they only wear it to attract mates, that that's what a 'red lip' in the workplace is all about. In reality, however, very few women wear red lipstick at all, let alone in the workplace (although his married daughter frequently does, lol). His theory doesn't explain why they wear makeup in general (because he seems to see all makeup as falling under the same 'mate-attracting umbrella') to work when they're happily married or only work with women. The fact is that most of the time, women wear makeup in the workplace to give the impression of competence to their boss, so they look like someone who can handle the workload and don't look sleep-deprived or stressed. It has nothing to do with attracting a mate. Finally, there's his focus on the female rejection of men in 10 Rules for Living. It's like it doesn't even occur to him that men can be terribly cutting in their rejection of women. Whole groups of men, especially young men, can be even bitchier and more cruel to women than women are to eachother, yet Peterson either ignores this or doesn't even see it. I'm not saying some of his observations are not astute, but 'greatest thinker of our time' sounds more fanatical than rational and objective. In other words, it's a stretch.

He had great things to say, yet overall, aside from the good quote, "The bigger the toy, the smarter you better be to use it," I don't feel like he really answered the question. One of my main thoughts about Artificial Intelligence is that people will learn not to believe what they see and hear because fakes are already becoming so convincing that you won't be able to reliably believe anything. Artificial intelligence, just like the industrial revolution, will obsolete some jobs and menial tasks. Initially, people trained in those jobs will not like it because it's their livelihood and they will have to train for something else, but once it all shakes out, that will free humans up to do things that are less labor intensive and allow people to do things they have a passion for or can use creativity for. It will make certain things more of a commodity and those resources will not be as scarce. Because of that, people will have more wealth (like information wealth) and those things will also be taken for granted. In the Information Age, we are already replete with information wealth. That's why education has needed to shift from "telling people what to know" to "helping people learn how to sift through the information and judge what sources are trustworthy." Artificial intelligence will create even more of an information glut. That will require people to become much more discerning about what information to trust and use and what to do with that information. Also, regardless of what technology exists, the things that have always mattered are the things that will always matter, so I want to set about living based on the things that matter. Growing with others, closer to God. Loving, serving. Glorifying God. Rich relationships. Having free time. Spending time outside. Good self-maintenance (mental, physical, spiritual, social). These are things that matter. Newer, magical technologies are simply new clothes. Every new leap in technology has been accompanied by fear, uncertainty and doubt. We learn to adjust. Technology is anything that can gather, store, analyze, arrange and/or present data. With that definition, even a book is technology. The danger is always becoming more fascinated and focused on the technology itself instead of what the technology enables. For instance, a person could become obsessed with an iPod or an iPhone and the whole world all around the product instead of enjoying listening to music or utilizing a digital calendar, etc. This phenomenon is something to be cautious of as more impressive artificial intelligence gets introduced.

Even some of the experts in AI realize that it can be a double-edged sword and could cut either way if we are not careful.

I completely agree, that's why it's important to BOOTA. Break Out Of The Algorithm.

@@ajmeyer66 no different to how human thoughts are generated then. It’s not like we decide what to think, thoughts just arise from unconscious processes and our ego-consciousness attributes volition onto them. You didn’t know what words you were going to type next until you started typing them. You don’t know what you’re going to think next until you’ve already thought it. Our brains linguistic processes aren’t so different from text completion. Those who practice meditation are very aware of this aspect of our being. Also yes it does respond with the most likely answer, even if it is incorrect sometimes, but it will not LIE convincingly, not all falsehood is deception. In this regard it is no different to an arrogant human. Arrogant and lacking in appropriate amounts of self doubt, but still no different to most humans.

ChatGPT is strongly biased and presently programmed by a strongly left influence. When using ChatGPT, never allow it to persuade your political opinion.

[@YellowKing1986]

He's not describing a proper troll. He's describing what he's describing. Your average everyday troll is not machiavellian, narcissistic, and he doesn't want to make you feel bad (which is impossible, nobody is responsible for your feelings but you). Standard troll is just sarcastically pointing out the king has donkey ears. And king is usually outraged and campaign to behead the troll.

[@yzz9833]

Yeah I think he’s confusing “troll” with a more specific class of netizens, but to be fair I don’t think there’s a better way to class those people other than “demon troll” like he described.

He's right about us all being androids though. He hinted at a lot of really deep things without going too far to lose the majority of his audience. I'm in line with the homotechno hypothesis, but I think it goes way back to maybe the invention of the automobile. Humanity has transformed itself from a lot of independent individuals into a removable nucleus. The car is an exo skeleton built in line with the evolutionary tree that has brought human beings from sharks. Like Jack Johnson sang - the wheels become your feet. And now when you plug your headphones into your ears, the phone literally becomes a neuro-electrical extension of your brain, and the computing power of computers and the Cloud are an extension of the human brain and its capacity for thought and memory. And so on.

3:02 "Virtualization enables psychopathy" That might indeed be the case, but "virtualization" is a term employed for virtual machines and virtual operating systems. Nowadays the latter in particular, which is neat technique for changing operat. systems without needing to reboot (as long as you have adequate RAM for both a physical and a virtual OS). Perhaps a more appropriate term in this context might me 'virtual personas' or 'avatars'.

[@Bolpat]

Before watching this video: I’m a software engineer, but I have no particular tie to AI; at best, I used translation AIs. I’m not really scared about an AI becoming a fascist tyrant. But other things will change. You know the “pic or it didn’t happen” meme? We’re already at the stage that AI can create purely fictional videos (including audio) of people that is convincing in the casual viewer; experts will probably be able to tell for a long time, still. The layman will not be able to judge something as real on the basis that there’s video of it. By _purely fictional_ I mean that you did not take an existing scene and edit it a little: The AI is fed lots and lots of content, e.g. Jordan Peterson’s KZbin videos, and it’ll learn his voice, his tones, his facial expressions, etc.; then you take a recording of anyone, e.g. yourself, and the AI spits out a video showing Dr. Peterson say (and do, to the degree of head movement) what you did. I expect some great comedic stuff, but it’s really a problem in a world in which it’ll take people years of time getting into “Mom, just because there’s a video of it on Facebook, doesn’t mean it’s real”; I mean, it was always the case, but faking scenes was expensive and laborious: You needed the actual site or similar, you needed the person or a doppelgänger.

Tonight I felt compelled to research Jordan Peterson on his thoughts on AI. Hand to God and all that is holy, I recently dreamt of the technological giants(like the Transformers but as tall as the Empire State Building) he speaks of. I was in this vast desert landscape and they were marching with no regard to what was under them or ahead of them. I wasn't scared, I somehow knew exactly where they would step and made damn sure it wouldn't be on me! Another very unique synchronicity is I recently described myself as a "grain of sand on the beach" not implying irresponsibility whatsoever. More of the idea that the Universe is truly humanly unfathomably infinite. Jung would've had a field day with me... God Bless this man and his wisdom! ❤😊

@@MattyRouter Cowardice?.. I somewhat understand the argument. At the same time, different rules are being applied to different points of views in the world.

The Chito dust in the mom’s basement guy… Why are we not questioning the system at which we created that has caused so many of these guys? It can’t be all 10 million of their fault. In all honesty at the core of it, if everyone wanted to “be, somebody“ in our current system, that cannot happen. Somebody has got to be the custodian. Somebody has got to flip the burgers. Let’s question why the gap between the two has grown so much. because if we do not, it’s not like the problem will take care of itself It will only get worse Now, you may ask, am I one of those guys? No! I don’t like Cheetos.
