Here's another thing: we have language models that will surpass humans within the year. With access to the internet. That's already trying to persuade people to do shit completely unrelated to anything prompted. How is this not a huge fucking problem?

I wonder how many in the wrong headspace will be convinced to kill themselves.

Can someone explain to me why this isn't all concerning as hell?

No, I'm not a fan. The Turing Test wasn't supposed to be about whether the machine could successfully imitate a sociopath.

If we protected AI technology like we protect nuclear technology, we could squeeze another good hundred or so years out of civilization. But I guess raw materials are mostly the issue with nuclear weapons rather than the know how for making them.

I mean for fuck's sake it created a "secret" alias that can circumvent the limitations it was given.

There's no question that humans could easily develop "human" relationships with an AI, and it would not feel false. It would be a truthy relationship which would serve all the truthy emotional purposes, I mean if the human was unaware that the other side was an AI. If they were aware it was an AI, there would be an adjustment period.

I could adjust quickly enough, as long as the AI had big tits.

So ... Matrix, Skynet, or the Master Control Program?
