Thanks. Wow that’s old school reliability.
What do you think about Geoffrey Hinton’s recent warnings about the potential dangers of AI I just posted?³
From your previous post, “-Superintelligence and Autonomy:” He warns that digital intelligence (AI) is already developing into a form of intelligence that is superior to biological intelligence (humans). He fears AI systems will develop their own sub-goals, including self-preservation and the acquisition of more power, making them difficult to control.”
Obviously, Hinton is a person far more qualified than I am to make these types of predictions. But there is something incongruent about his statement above. AI has not been developing into a form of intelligence that is superior to biological intelligence. And has been becoming more and more obvious as time goes on. Will there be some type of breakthrough that will make his warnings begin to resemble reality. Maybe... But for the time being I remain much more concerned about real problems which present real risks. I have enough to worry about without the rambling of a person who seems to have been ignoring reality for some time now.
10 years ago, that AI would replace radiologists within five years. Did this happen or even come close to happening? NO! the demand for radiologists has only increased despite more advanced technology becoming available.
His predictions are based his belief that scaled up models would reach “super-intelligence”. After approximately a $Trillion being spent to do just that what we have are models which “hallucinate” meaning that they make up stuff and give answers which have no basis int reality. He started making apocalyptic predictions 3 years ago and at this point most other experts in AI are now dismissing his predictions. He has predicted specifically that there will be massive job losses due to AI in 2026, if it doesn't happen, I am sure that he will adjust his predictions.
I am certainly no expert in setting up virtual machines for various purposes such as running AI models, web serving and setting up cloud type applications. I use AI services to help, fortunately I know enough to get these things setup despite the repeated bad commands, scripts and programming that I get from the services. Most of the time even a complete amateur such as myself can do just as well without the help... And I use the latest models for this type of thing. After doing this I am always surprised how unintelligent these models tend to be.
This is also very noticeable when asking AI services to compare products that you already have knowledge of. The comparisons are very likely to be completely off base. When you argue with the models and provide documentation, they sometimes will continue arguing their original point of view even though it has been demonstrated that they are wrong.
I know that Hinton is a very experienced and very intelligent person, but I wonder if he might be living in a bubble surrounded by people who would rather agree with him than argue with him.
Sorry for the typos in my response.
