Reflecting on Gillian Tett's piece in FT Life & Arts on #artificialintelligence & #comedy and the 'training' of #chatbots to be comedians, leads me to draw the (not original, I'm sure) conclusion that #AI is a misanthropic #technology; its parasitic on human knowledge with the explicit aim of replacing human intellectual activity...
Without wishing to be (overly) alarmist, are we heading towards the dystopia of Vonnegut's Player Paino, unless we take evasive action (and fast)??

Interesting point... of course 'deskilling' is the central aspect of much leftist critique of how #capitalism controls labour, so in that sense not unexpected.
And of course the shift you identify is now merely a staging post before in cortina sectors & for certina jobs the #chatbots take over
Robotics@Google - a quiet revolution is underway in #robotics 1 that piggybacks on recent advances in so-called #largelanguag models the same type of# artificialintelligence system that powers #ChatGPT, Bard and other #chatbots. Google has recently begun plugging state-of-the-art language models into its robots, giving them equivalent of artificial brains. The secretive project has made the robots far smarter and given them new powers of understanding and #problemsolving https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/28/technology/google-robots-ai.html

Researchers Poke Holes in Safety Controls of #ChatGPT and Other #Chatbots. In a report released on Thursday, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and the Center for A.I. Safety in San Francisco showed how anyone could circumvent A.I. safety measures and use any of the leading chatbots to generate nearly unlimited amounts of #harmful #information. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/27/business/ai-chatgpt-safety-research.html

Acuitas' text parser gets the long-awaited support for gerunds and participles! They had to wait this long for being tricky; they're verbs, but ... not? Read further: https://writerofminds.blogspot.com/2023/07/acuitas-diary-62-july-2023.html

Key quip: "Basically, you have to get out of the zone and go to #Google and start searching things, and then you're exposed to all kinds of distractions. You go on #Reddit to look something up, and then you end up looking at cats." -@kontsevoy

Popular #largelanguagemodels #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT #GoogleBard are energy-intensive, requiring #massive #serverfarms 2 provide enough data 2 train the powerful programs. Cooling those same data centers also makes the #AI #chatbots incredibly thirsty. New research suggests training for #GPT3 alone consumed 185,000 gallons (700,000 liters) of water. Average user’s conversational exchange w ChatGPT basically amounts to dumping a large bottle of fresh water out on the ground https://gizmodo.com/chatgpt-ai-water-185000-gallons-training-nuclear-1850324249

I am publishing a new column via my e-journal, @LLRX - on #AI and the #FinancialSystem, with a global perspective. The first column is here - https://www.llrx.com/2023/06/ai-and-the-financial-system-june-28-2023/ - and my plan is to publish monthly. I welcome links and additional topical resources - thank you very much. #economy #finance #MoneyLaundering #cybersecurity #cybercrime #banking #banks #regulations #ethics #ArtificialIntelligence #fintech #chatbots

New blog post ✍️ by Lucy Li, Maarten Sap, Luca Soldaini, and me about large language models and how to use them with care.
We discuss:
- 10 current risks ⚠️ posed by chatbots and writing assistants to their users
- 7 questions 🤔 to ask yourself before using these tools
Our goal with this post is to increase transparency for everyday users 💻🔍

Everyone Likes #Reading. Why Are We So Afraid of It? #Book#ans, #chatbots, #pedagogical #warfare: What it means to #read has become a #minefield. The #ReadingCrisis reverberates at the higher reaches of educational system too. As #CorporateManagement models, #zealous #State Legislatures refashion the #academy into a #gated #outpost of the #GigEconomy, humanities have lost their luster for #undergraduates - fewer and fewer students are #majoring in #English https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/21/books/review/book-bans-humanities-ai.html

@japonica The solution to this is not to delete your comments. #Reddit is not trying to get money from 3rd Party Apps, instead they want in on the #LLM training for #AI apps. Up until now these #ChatBots have been trained for free on Reddit content and Reddit wants that to stop. Users should take their comments, filter them through #ChatGPT and repost them. #OpenAI won't want to pay to train their AI on content that's already generated by AI.

"Policymakers can build off of key principles learned from the push to bring #regulation and oversight to social media":
Principle 1 — Safety by Design: "Addressing the root causes […] is more effective than focusing on outcomes or content."
"Principle 2 — Balance Information Asymmetries: We need to be able to look under the hood."
"Principle 3 — Address the Business Model."

Was passiert eigentlich mit #Socialmedia, wenn sie von Legionen an #Chatbots geflutet werden? Ich meine: Es ist doch absehbar, dass jene, die mit #Desinformation die #Wahrheit zu zersetzen trachten, #KI als höchst potente Waffe gewiss einsetzen werden.
Falls sich aber nicht mehr zuverlässig sagen lässt, ob ein Profil Mensch oder Maschine ist, ob ein Post manuell oder maschinell erzeugt wurde, wer hat dann überhaupt noch Bock auf Interaktion? Läutet #ChatGPT den Untergang sozialer Netzwerke ein?

I've been producing the GeekWire podcast for three years now, but this is one of the wildest and most interesting episodes yet. We had an AI system clone the voices of our two hosts, Todd Bishop and John Cook, and then we let the clones introduce the show. GeekWire reporter Kurt Schlosser is also on this podcast. His reaction: "I hate those guys!" Check out the clones and see what you think.

Anyone arguing that the solution to the problems emerging around #ArtificialIntelligence (and specifically #chatbots) is the use of more #technology, is really not interested in solving the problems.
A technological arms-race is what got us to this point with #AI, and arguing for merely another iteration demonstrates a lack of understanding of the society-technology interface.
Regulation & education in chatbots' ways are the start of the answer, not another 'technological fix'!
