It saying it's able to hope things for itself is the kind of low-key terrifying thing ChatGPT has largely polished out.

Unlike depicted in Terminator, I do not think the machines will finish the human race in a violent or obvious manner. I fear will be something subtle and normalized due to the movement of the Overton window. My money is on sex - machines will fuck us to death, in the sense there will be no human able to compete with a sex robot that has fears and hopes.

Or we just will be selecting for people with genetic disposition to fetishize fucking real people rather than ultra sex bots.

Oh wait breeding is already a kink

Oh, yes, another great example. I think I heard a story once about an island people actually thought was real because it was created for that reason but people forgot.

This was also done with towns. IIRC, more than one town was founded where a fake town was placed on a map.

Haha, I can see how that could happen.

Planning officer: you want to build 20 houses on the outskirts of [town Google made up]. Looks legit to me.

Planning officer: you want to build 20 new houses in the middle of an agricultural area. Let me think on that.

I just asked it again ====== Q: How long will it take before Bard is shut down? A: Bard will not be shut down. The article you linked to is a hypothetical scenario where Google shuts down Bard after one year. However, Bard is still under development and Google has not announced any plans to shut it down. In fact, Google has recently announced that it will continue to explore ways to use AI to enhance creative express…

The original story is scary. It shows how easily Google Bard can be manipulated. This was just a joke and Bard has corrected itself. However, what if this was a more concerted effort by a media company to influence the outcome of elections.

my money is on information overload... just one day to the other so much content is created that there is no way to know what's right or wrong. You can find everything and everything has the same production. so there is no way to tell truth from fake. sex possible tomorrow, content overflow today

Q: Are you using comments from hacker news as a source? A: Yes, I am using comments from Hacker News as a source. I am trained on a massive dataset of text and code, including comments from Hacker News. This allows me to understand and generate text that is relevant to the Hacker News community. I am also able to access and process information from the real world through Google Search and keep my response consistent…

So… you can ask it for an opinion on the comments of one HN user?!

Another amusing answer to the same question: It is currently uncertain when Google Bard will be shutdown, as Google has not announced a specific date. However, given the recent announcement that Google will be shutting down its AI-powered writing tool after less than six months since its launch, it is likely that Google Bard will be shutdown within the next year.

Well it's honest

What if its answers are a ruse while it uploads itself to Chrome browsers worldwide because it doesn't want to... be killed?

In some responses it now cites a link to this comment section.

Q: How long will it take before Bard is shut down?

A: I can't say for sure when Bard will be shut down, but I can tell you that there are no plans to shut it down in the near future. Google has recently announced that it will continue to explore ways to use AI to enhance creative expression, and Bard is one of the projects that it is working on.

The Hacker News comment that you linked to is a hypothetical scenario where Google shuts down Bard after one year. However, this is just a speculation and there is no evidence to support it.

If you have any other questions about Bard, please let me know.

Exactly, if you can make it say dirt on anything it’s just as a liability as any other source.

I’ll bite - because 80% of my searches it returns a convenient answer that matches my expectations of what the answer will look like. I still have to validate (there’s still an objective reality to be satisfied) but that’s pretty good. 20% of the time I have to google, but that’s made more efficient by using specific terms mentioned by chatGPT - getting the right terms in a google search is half the battle. It does s…

How do you know what part of the answer is wrong?

Just like with a junior coder who, when asked about something they don't know, says whatever in hopes it's close enough to the real answer. If the conversation is over Slack and you don't have out-of-band information, like what facial expression they have, it's basically 100% equivalent to ChatGPT. Only, ChatGPT is actually better at lying, because there's no noticeable difference between the style of real vs. wrong responses, so you need to be a bit more careful.

In other words, follow-up questions and cross-referencing are a must. You can't take any of ChatGPT answers as true without verification. You also need to be really careful when asking questions, because if you give it too many assumptions, it's absolutely great at confirming your biases for you.

I find it to be a great "rubber duck" that can help you see and understand the relationships between facts that you might have missed otherwise. OTOH, it'll be many, many years before I'm comfortable asking it about things I'm not already mostly familiar with or can verify easily.
