"The biggest question raised by a future populated by unexceptional A.I., however, is existential. Should we as a society be investing tens of billions of dollars, our precious electricity that could be used toward moving away from fossil fuels, and a generation of the brightest math and science minds on incremental improvements in mediocre email writing?"

In another chapter of “what crazy things has AI done this week,” the Catholic advocacy group Catholic Answers has had to swiftly defrock the AI priest it unveiled just a few days ago, after some strange conversations were shared online.
In a particularly awkward exchange with @futurism regarding the legitimacy of his identity, the chatbot claimed to be a real member of the clergy, who lived in Assisi. “Yes, my friend,” Father Justin is reported to have said, “I am as real as the faith we share.”
Ever since Bruce Ruxton died in 2011, Australians have struggled to find a way to make ANZAC Day cringeworthy, manipulatively sentimental, insensitive, attention-grabbing, disrespectful, inauthentically mythologised, and downright embarrassing.
At last, we have all that and more — thanks to the Queensland government's Virtual Veterans AI guide to World War I. Hurrah to the Queensland Government and the brave techbros at TalkVia AI who merged the horrors of war and the horrors of an "AI" LLM chatbot. slow clap
Lots of people who work in #AI have, in their head, an idea about what sort of interaction with an #LLMmight give them pause. The thing that might make them start to suspect that something interesting is happening.
Here's mine:
User: Tell me a cat joke.

I asked a fully-censored pornocalypse-enabled commercial AI chatbot to write me a limerick about a man who ate a mango and... this isn't bad, actaully!
A fellow named Stan, quite the gourmand,
Bit into a mango, so grand!
The sweet, juicy flesh,
Made a tropical mesh,
And left sticky contentment in hand.
Researchers studying free speech have carried out a report analysing the six major chatbots, to find out whether they embrace international free speech standards.
As reported by @FastCompany, the team found that AI chatbots regularly censor topics that companies deem to be controversial, thanks to "vague and broad" policies.
As AI's integration into all areas of our lives increases, the researchers discuss the wider implications on the right to access information, when chatbots decide what content they will and won't generate.
💬 NYC’s government chatbot is lying about city laws and regulations | Ars Technica
「 To cite just one example, the bot said that NYC buildings "are not required to accept Section 8 vouchers," when an NYC government info page says clearly that Section 8 housing subsidies are one of many lawful sources of income that landlords are required to accept without discrimination 」

Est-ce que vous connaissez des coins d'internet où on peut trouver fictions interactives, genres des livres dont vous êtes le héros qui auraient été numérisés mais dans un format structuré qui permette à un programme de parcourir le contenu ? L'idée serait de faire un robotchat qui affiche un paragraphe, lance un sondage, les membres du salon votent pour choisir le paragraphe. Ce serait pour revivre la saga Loup Solitaire en coop.
No wonder #Amazon was trying to get me to give them more reviews.
An Amazon #chatbot that's supposed to surface useful information from customer reviews will also recommend a variety of racist books, lie about working conditions at Amazon, more. They just put a full, easy to abuse chatbot on their site
