"Generative artificial intelligence (#GAI) adds a new dimension to the problem of #disinformation. Freely available and largely unregulated tools make it possible for anyone to generate (...) fake content in vast quantities. (...) But there is also a positive side. Used smartly, GAI can provide a greater number of content consumers with trustworthy information"
“This is the #AI Grey Goo scenario: an internet choked with low-quality content, which never improves, where it's almost impossible to locate public reliable sources for information because the tools we have been able to rely on in the past – Google, social media – can never keep up with the scale of new content being created. Where the volume of content created overwhelms human or algorithmic abilities to sift through it quickly & find high-quality stuff.”

Just this week #linkedIn offered me the chance to use #GAI to respond to a #recruiter, who had presumably also been offered the chance to use GAI to create the job post in the first place.
If by that end of 2024 the majority of hiring decisions are being made on the basis of what my AI said, or didn't say to your #AI, we are all in deep shit...
I made this image for an article I’m writing called “Dominion Over the Machines” about how the SAG-AFTRA AI precedents (if ratified) may move things forward not just for actors, but for every human that may face non-humans doing their work.
So Kate Bond had questions about the AI provisions in the SAG-AFTRA tentative agreement, and wisely asked Jeff Bennett, SAG-AFTRA general council about them.
Now they have shared the replies here, and it’s worth clicking through and swiping through the images to see the questions and answers if you too have questions about this:
Further proof that the CTR-driven discipline formerly known as #journalism is seriously wrong about its scares with a thousand over-dramatised doomsday scenarios, and on their efforts conditioning the public to conceive of dystopias only, with almost a stigmatising attitude towards utopia, and a religiously enforced ideology of post-Fukuyaman dystopianism; something eminently destructive and reactionary.
Do I see correctly that generative "artifical intelligence" is now hogging #AI as well as #gai? Is there any label left to designate game Ai? The classical #gamedev thing, you know?
‘If an individual decided to infringe on one of these companies’ copyright-protected content…that individual would face a great deal of financial and legal ramifications…why is the reverse not true? Shouldn’t the individuals whose intellectual property was used to train the AI algorithm at least be equally protected?’”
I think I still believe that large-language models are only parrots, and can't give rise to general artificial intelligence, but this post by Samuel Hammond makes some very strong arguments that I'm wrong.
There is an interview in today’s NYT with one of my heroes, Daniel Dennett. The interview led me back to a piece he wrote for the Atlantic last May. He not only decries #GAI technology, but proposes a way to save us from its most disastrous consequences: essentially a requirement that all output from generative AI systems bear a watermark declaring it to be generated by some automated system.
En 2004, Zilon (1956-2023) illustrait un guide d'éducation sexuelle novateur pour les jeunes hommes gais, publié par Séro Zéro. Rien de tel n'a été fait depuis et le format papier est désormais introuvable (sauf à la Collection nationale). 💐

#gpt and similar #llm ‘s can be tricked easily. There are multiple examples of this online
#ai trained on interactions on the internet has lead to racism, sexism, and other terrible isms being developed by the model in the past.
When we reach #gai / #agi it could do anything. We have no way of knowing what it could do, no matter what anyone says. One thing is for sure: it will know us better than we know ourselves very quickly.
Humans, for now, are at least creative and can arrive at completely new ideas. #GAI will not do this.
We already had the case of the US lawyer who had a hallucinating #LLM write his claim. It backfired completely.
When I am hearing that the trend in accounting is now to have automated bookkeeping with confidence intervals as low as 80-90% in even some global firms already, I am already waiting for the first major tax-fraud cases, b/c the #AI cannot...
Here's what I wrote in 2015 when our OpenAI overlords were announced, and after I had a terrible experience at NIPS (a conference now named NeuRIPS after a number of people, mostly women demanded a name change and received death threats for doing so. Interesting to see my reflections from ~8 years ago, not much I'd change except for certain phrases I probably wouldn't use now (e.g. implicit bias).
Da habe ich bei dir weniger Sorgen. Es ist auch wohl die einzige Möglichkeit, noch etwas zu tun. :)
Ich befürchte jedoch, als Gesellschaft haben wir da schon versagt. Es hätte nie soweit kommen dürfen, ohne dass wir als Gesellschaft auf #GAI / #LLMs und #AGI vorbereitet sind.
At what point while dreaming up utopic futures where robots perform all the menial hard labor for no money leaving humanity to pursue meaningful lives of leisure writing music and making art did my parents generation fuck up and instead create the opposite
@gimulnautti, I agree with your assumptions, though I doubt the sanity part. I think for most it is catching up to #ChatGPT, for all the liability issue, including copyright.
I also strongly believe that human and machine #GAI) origins
Must be easily discernible, in a certified way.
That said, I am very much against a #TransparentUser with regard to humans. Authoritarian...
