Current “AI”/statistical inference (SI) tech represented by Machine “imprinting” (It’s not continuously learning/updating, with only 1 time update), Large Language Models (LLM) & conversation “chat” interfaces are decimating cultural, social & ethical assumptions (statements taken as facts, without proof) AKA “norms”.
As a society, we’re not prepared for impact of rethinking, reconsidering & updating our current human practices & conventions with a non-human machine as a participant.
I really like that point that these current production "AI" systems (Generative AI / Large Language Models) are "imprinting" not "learning" because they are trained on a single data set and then set out into the wild to use that data without correction.
Real systems are constantly learning from experience.
@adredish glad U like it. Please promote & use it in social conversation vocabulary as people hear“Artificial Intelligence” or “Machine Learning”, think equivalent genius intelligence of Albert Einstein is encoded & defer because it’s a computer.
Unfortunately, it’s been imprinted from some of the most toxic, “expressed-in-words” sources like bigoted & hate groups on Reddit, Twitter, etc. That content is shredded/grated & spread throughout the model.
Have you ever tried unmelting grated cheese?
Yeah, I hate the way they stole the term AI. As an old AI researcher, it's really frustrating the way that they successfully took these two huge fields (AI and ML) and narrowed them down to a single model, which is a very poor model of general intelligence.
PS. I think it is a very good model of certain human behaviors - that of BS'ing. Humans also pattern-match to spin stories that sound good and are meaningless, but to claim that's a model of "intelligence" is insane. (As a teacher, it's explicitly what we are trying to get our students NOT to do.)
