#2Slight sidebar based on the content of the article. I don’t like the term “hallucination” for when a LLM produces nonsense. As if it otherwise has some grasp of reality and when it is wrong it is because it is hallucinating. Everything it produces is a “hallucination“, some of those are just more useful than others.

#3Someone on Twitter said: "Do not fear AI. Fear the people and companies that run AI".
After all, it's the same industry that came up with pervasive and invasive tracking, automated insurance refusals, automated credit lookups and checks, racial ...ahem... neighbourhood profiling for benefits etc. etc.

#4The Internet grew faster than companies could 'secure' it, and I would say that was not just a good thing, but key to its success.

Same here. Many terms in LLM world are not quite right such as prompt “engineering”. It is almost like they were coined by non-tech folks.

I have the opposite impression looking around at the current situation. The tech giants moved fast and broke things and they broke humanity.

#7by "secure it" they mean "charge you"

#8Make companies and their leadership responsible for any harm or damage that comes from AI generated content or actions. If a recipe is a hallucinated recipe and poisons someone, treat it the same as if someone created a salad recipe calling for raw kidney beans and rhubarb leaves in order to intentionally harm someone.
AI creates a ton of garbage unmitigated, and cracking down on when that garbage is harmful will be a good way to reduce the amount of garbage these companies put out.

You're probably not wrong. But I think we should recognize that what is humanity is rather fluid. If you were to talk to the 15th century clergymen, I think they would tell the horrors of printing press and how it has/will break humanity. And they wouldn't be wrong either. Humanity evolves, and, well, that's it. And overall, hopefully, and this is where we hopefully can effect positive change, we can steer the change to more humane, and moral direction.

#10Puff piece wherein it’s revealed that the fix for spending lots of money to put ai in charge of things it obviously can’t do properly is spending a lot more money on “ai security” that just points out that ai isn’t working, and seems to have no real path towards fixing the problem.
The security aspect mentioned here is that ai generated recipes could poison you when they hallucinate. The fix is “governance” which isn’t really described or defined, but no doubt it’s as necessary as it is costly. We could probably just not use cooks that seem to randomly poison the food and not create a new industry of equally suspect chef-policing but hey, where’s the fun in that?
