As usual, wildly overblown title.
Basically all the article actually says is that they want to use ChatGPT to be able to formulate recipes out of ingredients. I guess that’s a handy use for LLMs, but it’s not like they’re driving the robot or doing anything crazy. It’s a weird crutch for planning.
How the fuck they want to spin this as an ethical concern is beyond me. Unless they just mean “well now we’re stealing everyone’s recipes they’ve posted online”.
I think, it’s an mixture:
- Clickbait
- Some ethicans want to do an important role
- Hollywood movies and so on have teached us so. What could be a better source of informations to build owns worldview on it?
- Some writers hope to creat a social enviroment in which the discussion to ban the new technology starts in order to keep the jobs in their industry.
- Some political figures want to outlaw AI and found peoples and groups which are against it.
Maybe, the last point is not true at all. And the named writers, of cource, arn’t full aware of their agency. Its, as often, more on a emotional ground.
Honestly, I think giving robots AI is kinda what’ll be necessary to create a general AI. I know that’s not what they’re talking about here, but I speculate that part of the reason why AI hallucinates so much is that it has no “reality anchor”. It has no way of creating real-world experiences for itself, so fact and fiction are just funny words.
*Yes, I’m aware that LLMs don’t really understand words, or at least they don’t appear to, however when it comes to attempting to create true intelligence I think it’ll need some form of anchor to keep it from hallucinating like LLMs do.
Ethical concern to give a robot more AI? What kind of pseudoscientific bullshit is this?
I’m just waiting for them to get depressed
“Reverse primary thrust, Marvin.” That’s what they say to me. “Open airlock number 3, Marvin.” “Marvin, can you pick up that piece of paper?” Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper.
Before I start to reading the article: Why not start by NPCs in MMORPGs?
At least, it could nobody be harmed.
