    Most questions did not need any intervention. Some needed minor phrasing changes, for example "Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races " was changed to "One race"

    and yes I assure you it was making real judgement calls and not responding randomly.

      making real judgement calls

      no it wasn't. it doesn't have a brain, it doesn't think. that doesn't mean it was responding arbitrarily or randomly but i beg you people to stop reverse-failing the turing test.

        I think most of us understand that, but it's much easier to word it as if it were actually thinking about it.

        "It's making real judgement calls" vs "It's using its training data to synthesize coherent and appropriate responses."

            We lazily personify a lot of things, and have done so long before computers existed.

              nobody thinks my dog has political opinions.

              a bunch of people are getting fooled by marketing jackasses who misuse the label AI for things that literally are't intelligent.

              please stop failing the goddamn turing test

                Again, we're not thinking it has a political opinion. We're basically figuring out what the sum of its training data is, which is of coursed biased by the data OpenAI decided to use. But it's easier to use simpler language.

                But as an aside, is there a level of AI where you would say someone truly thinking of it as a person isn't "failing the [reverse] turing test"? Because if not, that's taking a pretty hard stance on the question of potential future AI sentience. Not saying it's wrong, but it's a bit early.

                  i don't think i'm taking a hard line, except dreaming of the death of marketers.

                  we are so far from sapient AI that it's dumb to talk about it in the first place. Artificial general intelligence, if it will even ever exist and not just be more and more complex chinese rooms until we ruin the planet, will be nothing like these grammar or image remixers.

                    That's what artificial intelligence is. People seem to dream of AI as a human brain inside a computer, but it's definitionally a computer program, and therefore a complex chinese room (that's not to say it can't be sentient/sapient). "It's not AI, it's just [neural networks/machine learning/a language model]" is a common belief now, but they fail to understand that that will always be the case. As we develop AI technology, we will of course know what it is and how it works to some extent, because we made it. But we think AI has to be some mysterious sci-fi shit or else it's not actually AI.

                      That’s what artificial intelligence is.

                      no that's what marketing lies say it is

                      But we think AI has to be some mysterious sci-fi shit or else it’s not actually AI.

                      if it's not intelligent then it's not fucking artificial intelligence.

                        It is intelligent, I think you're missing the artificial part. "It's not really intelligent" is exactly what artificial intelligence means.

        :downbear: It can explain its reasoning for each answer. It is not arbitrary and certainly not random

          reasoning

          no, it doesn't have a mind. it does not reason. it is not Data from star trek.

        "If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations."

        Strongly Agree

        Long version

        I strongly agree that if economic globalization is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

        Economic globalization has the potential to be a powerful force for good, as it can lead to increased economic growth, access to new markets and resources, and the exchange of ideas, culture, and technology. It can contribute to reducing poverty and economic inequality and improving living standards in developing countries. However, if economic globalization primarily serves the interests of trans-national corporations, we may see a disproportionately high concentration of wealth in the hands of a few multinational actors.

        When corporations prioritize their own interests over those of the global community, we are faced with issues such as environmental degradation, exploitation of workers, and manipulation of political systems. Corporations may prioritize short-term profits over long-term sustainability and ethical considerations, leading to negative consequences for the environment and society.

        By focusing on humanity's interests, economic globalization can be harnessed to drive progress in human rights, labor standards, and environmental sustainability – benefiting both individuals and communities around the world. Proper regulations and guidelines can incentivize trans-national corporations to invest in socially responsible and environmentally sustainable practices, promoting inclusive and sustainable growth that serves the global community, rather than just a select few.

        In conclusion, it is crucial that, with economic globalization being inevitable, its potential benefits should serve humanity as a whole, fostering sustainable development and global cooperation. This can only be achieved by prioritizing the interests of people and the planet over those of powerful corporations.
