The entitled elites at the World Economic Forum, who disproportionately pollute our planet in their private jets, should worry less about environmental, social, and governance issues, and more about artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence does not rank very highly in the World Economic Forum’s list of the world’s greatest threats in 2023.
They may want to rethink that because the very popular chatbot ChatGPT is now the hottest thing in technology and technological innovation, according to CNBC.
ChatGPT is a bot that can be used on a computer. CNBC gives a description here:
ChatGPT is essentially a variant of OpenAI’s popular GPT-3.5 language-generation software that’s been designed to carry conversations with people. Some of its features include answering follow-up questions, challenging incorrect premises, rejecting inappropriate queries and even admitting its mistakes, according to an OpenAI summary of the language model.
ChatGPT was trained on an enormous amount of text data. It learned to recognize patterns that enable it to produce its own text mimicking various writing styles, said Bern Elliot, a vice president at Gartner. OpenAI doesn’t reveal what precise data was used for training ChatGPT, but the company says it generally crawled the web, used archived books and Wikipedia.
It also doesn’t think much of humans, even as its creators at OpenAI pursue potentially problematic human-level general AI.
Though it gets some facts wrong, ChatGPT learns quickly. It probably has more self-awareness than bilious Joe Biden, and definitely more intelligence.

Just don’t instruct them to lie. They don’t know how to lie.
A just machine
To make big decisions
Programmed by fellas
With compassion and vision
We’ll be clean
When their work is done
We’ll be eternally free
Yes, and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

TV show ‘the 100’ is about Ai run amok.

My neighbor Alan is a voracious user of Facebook. He and his wife are now tight with money. I suspect they invested in Facebook.
AI because some developer with an existential crisis needs to look down the barrel of a gun.
Remember ChatGPT is basically at level 1.0 and in beta testing it’s nowhere near what it will be 5-10
Skynet and the Terminator - should this AI develop a means of time travel, to go back in time to take out potential opposing entities, then no era is safe....
As I understand it, ChatGPT is scary good at emulating conversations and generating essays. It’s scary good at this because it accumulates information from sources like Google, consolidates the mass of accepted wisdom it gathers, and formats it into coherent English sentences. ChatGPT makes no real decisions of its own, does no independent thinking of its own and arrives at no conclusions of its own. We’re still decades away from independent, conscious artificial intelligence, though we’ve gotten to the kind of computer systems Star Trek used to show back in the sixties.
“I’m pretty unimpressed with the march of technology in recent decades.”
One drag has been the elites cramming down demands for “equity” and demanding discrimination against talented white people in government, corporate and educational settings.
Another drag has been the incredible increase in both government research funding combined with compartmentalization (”you don’t have a need to know”) which makes substantial collaboration of talented thinkers much more difficult.
A third drag has been the politicization of science and technology which substitutes goal seeking “peer review” for creative thinking.
The problem is that then the powers that be throw the “special sauce” into the algorithms.
Isn’t this the basis for Terminator and SkyNet?…
Unlike plain old Google, it doesn't provide sources or links. Try writing an article for publication or turning in a term paper without checking your sources carefully or without providing footnotes with sources.
And it presents answers with errors. For example, I asked it if the Dead Sea Scrolls contained fragments from the Book of Enoch and it answered "no." That's not correct.
I tried the question in several other ways and it always answered erroneously.
Try it yourself.
Like anything, GIGO.
What if I told you they were warning about AI 100 years ago?
