Mind blowing stuff from OpenAI

Very interesting indeed....and / but beside the benefits extremely !! dangerous. People like Elon Musk will use it ( beside a few good things ) to get even more control over the market , the people. And thats no weird theory,but reality. I really hope, that a few responsible people get this and at least try to create some rules . Difficult, but doable. Personally I don`t need it and I don`t want it.

But you may not be able to tell when you're interacting with it...

It's like we have a drive for technology to use us rather than us using technology. These things infiltrate our lives and them we accept them as a given.

Unfortunately in the wild west frontier of bleeding edge tech, rules won't work and never have, because it acts more like a virus or infection. There may be many people who choose to "opt out", but if the majority of tech, businesses and individuals adopt/use it (even in the background), it's already spreading.

This doesn't even include particular powerful actors (like Musk) who can capture, dominate and control segments of the market and people. Or Madison Square Garden using facial recognition to exclude people who work for law firms that have cases against them. This is just the tip of some possible horrible iceberg of privacy, discrimination, and control (against freedom to move, to patronize).

We do need laws here but I bet the businesses and special interests will win, and we the citizens will lose (usually the case in the US).
 
Greedy evil people will exploit it and use it as a propaganda tool. Look what they've done with mundane things like Facebook and Twitter. Imagine those same people influencing/censoring the results of ChatGPT.

Open AI, the company that developed ChatGPT, has received a few billion dollars in investment to date. The NSA received $90B dollars in 2022 alone.
 
Musk buys OpenAI. Plugs it into Twitter and everywhere else he can (maybe even whispering into his brain), leading it to a total AI/bot takeover with deep fakes of powerful people, fake identities, and fake grievances. Humans become mere tools to manipulate in whatever direction.

As long as our immediate (dopamine) impulses are satiated... Game, Set, Match.


UNLESS?? There is a groundswell for unplugging / fire-walling / sandboxing our lives from all of that. Which will be even more critical but that much harder to do.
 
Actually, now that you mention it, I am not entertained.

We're past the point of no return. Our "betters" will find more and more ways to keep us from functioning unless we present some kind of digital passport/identity/currency. The best way to fight back is to use cash for everything and stop carrying a cell phone. Any volunteers? :p

Yes as a whole, but it is possible for some individuals and small pockets/communities to be mostly independent of that - for now. In this sense isolated "primitive" cultures have an advantage. They also have an advantage of indigenous understanding the natural world in a way "civilizations" have lost (apart from a few specialists).

Sadly true. Yet that's also ridiculous due to its inherent fragility sitting on top of a lot of fragile infrastructure.

The more we digitize everything (including all virtual "value") on power hungry server farms implemented with obfuscated algorithms (including AI), the more fragile it will be to instability, hacking, viruses, and corruption etc. Not to mention vulnerability human or natural EMPs.

One mega solar storm zapping all electronics and we could be back to the dark ages!

Another concerning facet is that, given that AI/ML depends on large data-sets to "do its thing", it's been noted that the companies with enormous user data-sets (Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.) have a serious advantage here and lesser entities won't have a chance to balance any of this out.

From what I've been reading over the last few years, Google stands head and shoulders, exponentially, over what it knows about users and has the largest data-set vs all other entities by an incredibly huge margin.

And it's also interesting to note that OpenAI/ChatGTP may take a large chunk out of Google's business, since advertising via search results is, by far, Google's biggest moneymaker. People are already giving glowing reviews on how much ChatGPT saves them time and tons of effort even just answering simple, everyday search queries. I've watched a few demos contrasting searching of things between the platforms and there seems to be no doubt ChatGPT is a clear winner here in terms of efficiency.

While I certainly won't rule out Google stepping up somehow, it's appearing that ChatGPT may be a huge threat to their core business, particularly if users start to use ChatGPT en-masse as their primary search engine or for simple queries. Using only that function while ignoring the other things ChatGPT can do (write essays, code, emails, etc.) may be all that's needed for a paradigm shift.

Yeah. I suspect that Google probably will step up or something along those lines.

The "ultimate search engine" would be a research/creative assistant you can talk with that has access to (ideally) vetted information and can generate any content (yikes). Then we'd have a kind of hybrid Chat-Google-Wikipedia kind of AI assistant. Then???
