"DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER".

 I've posted about AI and ChatGPT before.

Here are some links .... just kidding.

Well, it's not just me who's worried about the potential dangers of the very rapid growth of AI programmes and the way that they are infiltrating all aspects of life. 


DANGERS OF AI


"Artificial intelligence labs have been urged by Elon Musk and numerous other tech industry figures to stop training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, OpenAI’s latest large language model.
In an open letter signed by Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, technology leaders urged for a six-month pause to the development of such advanced AI, saying it represents a risk to society."

This is a bit like life imitating art. Remember the Terminator film series where robots take over the world?




Well, it seems that we aren't far off that now. ChatGPT and its 'brothers' are replicating faster and in ways unknown to even the creators.


“Contemporary AI systems are now becoming human-competitive at general tasks, and we must ask ourselves: Should we let machines flood our information channels with propaganda and untruth?” the letter read.

“Should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones? Should we develop nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us? Should we risk loss of control of our civilization (sic)
?”

This scares me and I'm no pussy - I attended two Prowse Brothers concerts!

I'll keep an eye on this for the others in this blog community because I suspect there will be a lot of fast moving developments on this.

Yes, bring it around to religion and made up nonsense as per usual.

Hey! I just had a thought. Someone (maybe me) should get ChatGPT4 to create a new religion. It couldn't be any sillier than the current ones and, given the ability of AI and ChatGPT should make a lot more sense, be better written and won't have to involve murders, cruelty, crazy saints, genocide and pedophilia.

"I'm surprised you didn't need therapy after those "Prowse Concerts"."

Thanks Rob, but remember that you can't play variation no. 9. And improvisation was beyond your skills. Maybe you were the weak link?
