#32I'm terrified of AI. Both the imperfect good enough AI, and the post-human skynet AI. In my personal life, I have friends addicted to ChatGPT. While we are talking, they are talking to chatgpt for advice, for jokes, for planning David Bowie themed parties. They literally run everything thru this AI first. My firm's marketing department is using ChatGPT heavily to write copy, tweets, etc.It's amazingly great. Our ROI'…
"Will my daughter compare herself to these things without knowing they aren't real and go insane..."
This is already the case today with airbrushed and photoshopped models in media and ads. It's more a question of education than of an issue in the real world.
Teach her not to give a f*k about what others say, that is the most valuable lesson.

#33I find it funny how all the commenters have shat themselves about evil ChatGPT conquering the world and abusing the minds of their loved ones, when at the same time its accuracy/perfomance on any other language than English is abysmal and will still be for a very long time.
Why for a very long time? There's no technological barrier to making these things work well in other languages, so it's just a question of where people have decided to spent their time and computing resources, right?

I think some of the concern is overblown, some isn't. The Replika AI stuff is definitely concerning because it deprives people of actual relationships by subsituting something artificial that can never supplant something physical/real. Kind of like the movie Her (2013). But this is already happening with stuff like onlyfans. The stable diffusion stuff shouldn't threaten artists, in the same way that digital art doesn…
The stable diffusion stuff shouldn't threaten artists, in the same way that digital art doesn't threaten traditional artists. It's a fairly unpopular viewpoint that you're taking here, but I also agree with you. Unless you can actually think of what you want and AI produces it, just like how some people are so good at illustrating they can basically draw exactly what they see in there mind, it's not going to change e…
Hate to break it to you but this is already happening. I know 2 people who fired illustrators and used mid journey instead.
The feedback cycle with humans was too long and they were expensive… with AI the iteration is so rapid that you can try new ideas and make all sorts of adjustments without incurring much cost

#35I'm not terrified of guns. Guns don't kill people.
I'm not terrified of numbers. Numbers don't lie.
I'm not terrified of AI. AI don't ... enslave humans?

Abandoning friends at the first sign of problems, without at least trying to help them leads long term to a society where almost everyone has fallen down and has been abandoned.

Yes, I was half-joking however in my experience such interventions, no matter their intentions, often fail and may sometimes be considered too invasive/offensive.
Re: Why am I not terrified of AI?
#40I'm not worried about self-acting AIs. Or what would be considered sentient, something acting without prompt or request. We are far away from that.
What I could worry about is miss-use and failure to ensure the output in so many use cases. And maybe too many developing blind trust in AI and then not thinking and critically verifying output. Not so big thing for media, images, video and so on. But actually using AI generated content for let's say some control system. Maybe for self-driving or in factory. Not that world will be taken over, but that people will be killed.
