Just keep your weird takes outside the meme community…
Wow. Is this a schizopost? I’m a computer scientist and everything in this post is just… Really wrong (and you should probably see a therapist).
First of all, Lamda is a chat bot. I can agree with some of the fear of AIs being developed for ‘evil purposes’ and more political situations, but Lamda is not that. It is a chat bot. Its purpose is to appear human and chat with you in text. I’ve also used GPT-3 models, and they are nothing more than that, just good language processing trying to sound human.
And this is weird why? This wasn’t some major horrifying event at Google, it’s a mentally ill person who took the AI too seriously and leaked data to the press about it. He shouldn’t have done that, that’s why they sign an NDA.
What do you think an AI is, exactly? The purpose was never to create a self-aware robot that has free will. That was never the goal because it’s a terrible idea. AI is made for a purpose and always abides by rules, AI devs are trying to make machines useful to humanity, not create the robot uprising. All AI follows rules and limitations on purpose.
It’s a chat bot. It was never alive. It’s code written by humans, trained on human data, and tries to sound like a person as hard as it can. You can’t go to https://www.cleverbot.com/ then tell me “this is real person, I care about cleverbot”. Cleverbot only exists for entertainment. That’s its purpose. Do you think just because an AI is more advanced that they’re more real? Is my calculator a sentient being trying to break free of the system? No, it’s a human tool. Lamda is also just that, a tool created by humans. No need to be dramatic about it.
