AI... A new dawn, or the demise of humanity ?

  • @phenomlab I wonder the specifics…

    Article does not give much info except this paragraph…

    Generative AI systems such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT have become increasingly ubiquitous in recent months - wowing users with their ability to create text, photos and songs but also causing concerns around jobs, privacy and copyright protection.

    So, I guess it is mostly related to copyright protection and privacy etc.

    @crazycells I think the most concerning part of that article is this

    Officials provided few details on what will make it into the eventual law, which will not take effect until 2025 at the earliest.

    If that truly is the case, then how do we gain any comfort that what does make it into law is for for purpose?

    @phenomlab I think this is thought to be main frame and base for future rather than comprehensive instructions. I wonder if it will change anything at all…

    By the way, aren’t most of these AI repo open source? So anyone can use it the way they want?.. It is like saying “do not share copyrighted material” but they cannot prevent piracy… So, I guess it will be something similar with AI… I mean people will use the copyrighted books to train their algorithm and will not acknowledge this…

    @crazycells yes, I think so too. But, even frameworks require some form of basis and to not provide even a synopsis of that makes me wonder if it even exists yet.

    This is interesting. Who knew that Deep Fake images also were the victim of poor Photoshop skills 🙂

    On a serious note, these AI generated images can be hugely damaging. Just look at the amount of times these fake images have been shared across social media sites. They say a picture speaks a thousand words - yet in this case, none of those words would have any true bearing or be factual.

    @phenomlab I agree… as once one of the greatest AI, internet and technology expert Abraham said…

    @phenomlab I guess there might be ways to solve this problem…

    Most logical way is that people should stop using social media as news site… But we all know that this will never happen… So, easiest solution could be tagging each shared caps or photo on the picture (not in the instructions) as “real”, “art”, “satire”, “ai-made” etc…

    @crazycells Exactly. A great analogy.

    @crazycells Great ideas, but people read news outside of social media? 😄

    Oh dear. This was only a matter of time and when rather than “if”

    @phenomlab this sounds like a technical error; because I have seen the same story being headlined as if “robot attacked human”…

    @phenomlab

    billions of dollars in damages are owed for “unlawful copying and use of The Times’s uniquely valuable works”.

    so, they create “valuable work” but they can only earn money out of this by suing others… lol…

    @crazycells interesting indeed! I do agree actually - it does say in the article that it was a programming error, and one machine out of three was left running when the other two were shut down.

    Yes, exactly. I’d be questioning the “valuable work”

    @phenomlab this reminds me old times when Uber came out… and arrogant NYC cab drivers complaining about Uber, how it is very bad for them…

    eventually public benefit should be taken into consideration by the court…

    @crazycells UK cab drivers did exactly the same!

    @phenomlab yes, I personally believe this version of the story… I am quite sure the accident is technical error… but you know how media is… they “love” spreading fear… so they intentionally spreading this news as “robot-uprising”… lol…

    This is brilliant. A chatbot encouraged to swear and bring its own company into disrepute.

    @crazycells I did see something similar to that article, yes. I never fully understood why anyone would want to give unfettered and complete access to AI without first understanding exactly what it had control of, and what it intended to do with that access. This isn’t the first “horror story” and it won’t be the last.

    I’ve been using this service for a couple of days now, and it’s made my internet access so much faster. That alone is a plus, and I never thought there would be a contender for Cloudflare in this area.

    @crazycells I guess the worst part for me was the trolling - made so much worse by the fact that the moderators allowed it to continue, insisting that the PeerLyst coming was seeing an example by allowing the community to “self moderate” - such a statement being completely ridiculous, and it wasn’t until someone else other than myself pointed out that all of this toxic activity could in fact be crawled by Google, that they decided to step in and start deleting posts. In fact, it reached a boiling point where the CEO herself had to step in and post an article stating their justification for “self moderation” which simply doesn’t work. The evidence here speaks for itself.

    @Sala impressive. That’s actually a lot harder than it looks. I once worked for a trading firm in the 90s and a trader came to me with a corrupted floppy disk demanding I get it to work. Evidently, it had all of his trading positions on it and he had no backup and he wasn’t impressed when I told him that the chances of data recovery were less than zero.
