I don't buy into this "AI is dangerous" hype. Humans are dangerous.

"ooh it's more advanced but don't worry- it's not conscious"

is as much a marketing tactic as "how it feels to chew 5 gum" or buzzfeedesque "top 10 celebrity mistakes - number 3 will blow your mind"

it's a tech product that runs a series of complicated loops against a large series of texts and returns the closest comparison, as it stands it's never going to be dangerous in and of itself.

Generative AI and LLMs is not what people mean when they're talking about the dangers of AI. What we worry about doesn't exist yet.

I mean... It might be. Just depends on how much potential there still is to get models up to higher reasoning capabilities, and I don't think anyone really knows that yet

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah maybe. I just personally don't think LLMs are actually intelligent. They're just capable of faking intelligence but at the same time making errors that perfectly indicate that it's basically just bluffing. I'd be more worried about an AI that knows less things but demonstrates higer capability for logic and reasoning.
