I love the “criti-hype”. AI peddlers absolutely love any concerns that imply that the AI is really good at something.
Safety concern that LLMs would go Skynet? Say no more, I hear you and I’ll bring it up in the congress!
Safety concern that terrorists might use it to make bombs? Say no more! I agree that the AI is so great for making bombs! We’ll restrict it to keep people safe!
Sexual roleplay? Yeah, good point, I love it. Our technology is better than sex itself! We’ll restrict it to keep mankind from falling into the sin of robosexuality and going extinct! I mean, of course, you can’t restrict something like that, but we’ll try, at least until we release a hornybot.
But any concern about language modeling being fundamentally not the right tool for some job (Do you want to cite a paper or do you want to sample from the underlying probability distribution?), hey hey hows about we talk about the skynet thing instead?
AI peddlers just love any “critique” that presumes the AI is great at something.
Safety concern that LLMs would go Skynet? Say no more, I hear you and I’ll bring it up first thing in the Congress.
Safety concern that terrorists might use it to make bombs? Say no more! I agree that the AI is so great for making bombs! We’ll restrict it to keep people safe!
It sounds too horny, you say? Yeah, good point, I love it. Our technology is better than sex itself! We’ll keep it SFW to keep mankind from going extinct due to robosexuality!
