They are working hard to invent SkyNet and we must fund them in perpetuity so they can protect us from SkyNet

If I have to be murdered by Skynet, I want it to be an open source version.

OpenAI has looked into it and their conclusion I’d that you’d actually prefer to pay OpenAI to be murdered by their Skynet

Which is impossible at this stage ?

Why? I am talking about a revolution against AI.

Because people can build this stuff at home or on small underground labs, militaries around the world will research it in secret, so how do you police it ?

Disgusting abuse of the democratic process to halt scientific and technological progress in the name of making one sketchy man rich.

I agree. It's a shame the PEOPLE do not have any say in this matter. They should be able to vote also, and one of the options should be "outright ban on AI".

I agree if we extend it to mathematics and the use of simple machines.

I don't understand the chain of logic here at all? Am I correct in thinking you are criticizing OpenAI for taking down their non-working GPT Detector? Of all the things OpenAI deserve criticism for this seems to be an odd one. It just didn't work: as you say it couldn't properly detect GPT authored text and it incorrectly flagged human text as written by GPT. That just seems bad all around?

Human text being flagged as wholly or partially synthetic is the default now. You move the knob on the AUPRC curve until it’s catching spam, and you report spam when you’re pretty sure. You report: “don’t know” the rest of the time.

A spam filter is different to a LLM detector.

The non-functional OpenAI tool claimed to be a LLM detector but didn't work, so they were 100% right to withdraw it.
