Is ChatGPT a threat? | If You’re Listening Ep19 | ABC News In-depth

The world’s most famous artificial intelligence company, OpenAI - the creator of ChatGPT - was set up to create a superintelligent AI, while at the same time safeguarding humanity from an omnipotent robot overlord which could enslave us all.
After OpenAI fired its wonder boy CEO Sam Altman, then rehired him, is the company in a position to protect us from its own robots?

    This is by far the most interesting program on KZread. I like its choice of topic as it draws in areas that I think have value and that I am somewhat aware of but need to know more. It fills that need.

    Society is a giant cyborg today.... Isn't a joke... it's just a reference to the connection between most humans and their smartphone. Modern society is a mix of organic and technological components and is hence analogous to a cyborg. One silver lining on this cloud is that Ai clearly isn't behind the Fermi paradox.... :)

    It's not about weapons, it's about productivity, information and innovation. It's about leveraging large datasets for predictive power and novel insights than translate to economic value. We've had country-destroying nukes and even bio weapons for decades, there's no such thing as "better weapons" when you can already end the world with the weapons you have. The power struggle is for control of information, resources and economic dominance.

    All the current LLM tools that are very popular now and work great are not artificial general intelligence. They’re not even close. They lack any of the intention that is being described here that’s why it can’t do math because you can’t put intention into an algorithm you’ll have to find a way to go around that but if it can’t find a pattern that matches the math problem your give to it then it’ll just give you an erroneous answer.

    AI is the great unknown, nobody really knows how it will evolve and how its consequences will affect humanity. I have no problem with Western companies developing AI as they do have some boundaries within societal norms and possible regulatory oversight, even if things could go horribly wrong. My much greater concern is China and possibly Russia, they will have no compunction at all in creating an AI monster to conquer the US and the rest of the West. And the problem is who knows where they are in terms of AI evolution with their closed authoritarian societies.

    Way too much wild speculation and anthropomorphism. The infinite connect four example is not an example of creativity (in whatever way that is conceptualised). At best these deep learning networks are excellent pattern detectors and statistical learners. The so called recent AI boom, largely driven by large language models, are not even close to ASI, let alone AGI.

    I love that humanity is unwittingly plotting it's own demise. The sooner the better. We are inherently bad for this planet, so this is the absolute best outcome. We just might end up being the shortest-lived species in Earth's history, one that was too intelligent for its own good and managed to wipe itself out in less than a few thousand years. Impressive!

    I used to feel the same way. Now I see that humanity is not the demise of the planet. Corporate law, the current economic paradigm and excessive screen time nad overexposure to mainstream media are separating us from ourselves and the natural world. The Earth will always be here with or without us. Will AI will be just another dependency to separate us from ourselves even more?
