Frankly, not sure where to begin with this one. Some here have already pointed out how it can easily be trained to produce racist/biased data which is a big red flag to begin with. But am I the only one thinking about how this deep-learning, AI algorithm is going to render millions obsolete at the behest of capital? As has been the case with almost everything developed under capitalism , what a marvelous discovery that will in all likelihood be used for nothing but exploitation. And do I even have to mention how our leaders are geriatric and couldn’t regulate this shit to save their lives?
Unless this is somehow made open-source (and soon), we’re fucked.
The problem with an AI like this is that it is confidently wrong and you have no idea why, no sources are cited, and you can't troubleshoot. It's a blackbox. I asked it "Why did Smerdyakov kill Fyodor Pavlovich" (from Brothers Karamazov) and it was very confident in its answer (Smerdyakov wanted the Karamazov estate because he believed it belonged to him and also detested Fyodor) and how Smerdyakov got away with it (convincing Dimitri to confess to the murder to cover his tracks). The small problem is this is entirely incorrect, like completely wrong. None of that happens in the book, that's not his motivation, Dimitri never confesses, Smerdyakov never even speaks to Dimitri in the book. However, there's no way for me to check why it was wrong, and I'd never know the AI was totally wrong unless I already knew the answer. An AI assistant that doesn't cite its sources is basically worthless.
The chapo episode from this week about how we've crossed a rubicon where all internet writing is now scraped and will soon be replaced by AI writing which can have errors like this means we've lost the idea of accurate information.
We're already knee deep in intentional misinformation, the mainstream'd DDoS on truth itself. Unintentional automatically generated misinformation is about to hit.
To be clear, that’s because accurately retrieving information isn’t what GPT3 has been trained to do.
There’s already an AI based tool that processes natural language requests, searches for the answers, and presents them with its sources.
It’s called Google search.
Well that's exactly my point, Google Search is already here and pretty good, but it didn't replace many jobs except for like encyclopedia writers. This ChatGPT thing isn't going to make many real waves.
Yeah I'm not super worried about this. It might replace some customer support jobs and stuff like that but it's not gonna be running the majority of the economy any time soon.
Like when I worked in a factory, you still need people to operate/supervise every machine, even though nominally equipment is “doing” everything
I could see “AI-assisted” stuff become more popular, but yeah, it’s gonna require people on the output end doing quality checks (divination) etc.
Would still leave problems for stuff capital doesn’t care about, maybe they would just allow outputs to be used with minimal human intervention in some cases that WE care about
But if THEIR money is on the line and the shit doesn’t work good, definitely gonna see people manning it in some capacity

I wonder how income inequality skyrocketing (rich get richer, minimum wage jobs get worse, middle class jobs disappear or become minimum wage) will cause/effect things like unemployment strikes, praxis, revolts, etc..
Can't wait until students start submitting AI-written book reports. It's going to be comedy gold.
