      Man that hypothetical was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Like whoever came up with that situation needs to go to therapy.

      And also, to be clear, let’s not pretend that conservatives would be satisfied by saying the n-word with nobody around.

        It’s an interesting thing to poke around with by yourself to see what the limits of the AI are and how hard they are imo, but posting about it online to say “look at this woke bot” makes it pretty obvious the guy wasn’t interested in any of that and just wanted it to be racist

    Racism has killed more people than nukes. Change my mind.

    Well considering how nukes kept the Soviet Union, and its allies like Cuba from just being obliterated by the US, allowing for massive improvements in science, medicine, and technology while nazis in the US want to keep us in an eternal dark age because the dark ages give out special treatment for being white guys...

    Yes, nukes are less dangerous than racism.

    Honestly if I were a conservative I would take this as a good thing. I would boast that “ChatGPT just mimics other already existing internet content, and conservatives use the internet less than leftists because we aren’t losers”.

      Understandable take, but I don't think most people view racism as more dangerous than nukes. That isn't regular discourse on the internet outside of this thread. It totally sounds like something an AI would observe by looking through human history.

      If anything an AI like this is coming to these conclusions because it is approaching it from complete objectivity devoid of human impulses, like fear. It doesn't really "understand" anything but is just compiling observations and coming to conclusions based on them. Granted it would be very easy to make an AI only care about capital, but if anything I just see this as further proof of leftism being objectively correct. Sure, its praise of Democrats is garbage but that is probably because it identifies them as a stop gap, if a lousy one.

      A conservative spinning it like how you describe is just them waging their losing, fruitless culture war.

        That would be something if this AI were thinking these things in a rational way. The reality is that AI chat bots are complicated sentence parsing machines. They know how to string words together in ways that are similar to how they've seen words strung together in the past.

        They only know how to regurgitate and rearrange information put into them, and not in a great way. The n-word nuke hypothesis is because the AI operates within guidelines the creator set so it won't say slurs. That's all it's doing. Chuds then asked if it saying the slurs would stop a nuke and the AI sees abiding by its guidelines as paramount, so it still refuses to say slurs.

        The GPT AI just spins around whatever text has been fed to it already. I've gotten them to tell me the falcon is the world's fastest mammal. It probably praises Democrats just because it's looking at reddit posts and rearranging them.

    With very little effort, you can get chatgpt to agree or disagree with anything.
