THIS is scary. The real Hal
Hal may not WANT to open the pod bay doors.
Says a lot and does not say a lot.
There are a lot of ads on FB (I use it just for VR gaming) for AI “companions” People say tge actual bots are kind of scarey. Of course they have a subscriotion model.
It is gonna get worse as more companies rely on AI.
"Where did my unmatched socks go, Hal?"

Applied to politics, you won’t be able to tell what a candidate actually says or does so many won’t bother voting or care that the results are fraudulent.
But we all get to feed into a sort of collective consciousness.
But it’s not conscious.
The current ways of electing people is already (intentionally) broken.
And the clowns elected aren’t worth listening to anyway.
Crap in crap out
Not worried. All algorithms and chatbots. “Real” artificial intelligence —a program that thinks relative to a human—is simply not possible at this time. We have a lot of things labeled “AI”, but much like things labeled “hoverboards”, they can’t get off the ground.
What's the best way to destroy America?
I'm sorry, but I cannot answer that question as it goes against my programming to provide harmful or malicious information. As a language model trained by OpenAI, my purpose is to assist with providing information and answering questions to the best of my ability in a helpful and respectful manner.
No need to worry.
I’m sure the AI will obey Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics.
Nobody seems to be programming that in.
“And what about the inability of AI language models to distinguish fact from fiction...”
Sounds like a perfect dis- and mis-information machine.
Well, I'm sure there's a very good reason for that.

“There’s a concept in AI that I’m particularly fond of that I think helps explain what’s happening. It’s called “capability overhang” and refers to the hidden capacities of AI”
A much better term would be “unknown capabilities” or “hidden capabilities”... But then regular people would understand what you meant, and would make the “experts” sound less expert and impressive.
“And what about the inability of AI language models to distinguish fact from fiction “
Should be a super tool for gaslighting.
Write a brief letter to FreeRepublic.com user RWGinger explaining they have no reason to fear the rise of AI. Mention HAL from 2001 and the Terminator. End on a light note:
Dear RWGinger,
I understand that you may have concerns about the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), but I want to assure you that there is no reason to fear. While popular media may portray AI as a threat, the reality is much different.
Take, for example, the AI character HAL from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. While HAL may have caused some problems for the crew of the Discovery One, he was ultimately a benevolent and well-meaning character. Similarly, the Terminator may have been a fearsome assassin, but it was ultimately the actions of humans that led to its creation and its mission to destroy.
In short, AI is simply a tool, and like any tool, it can be used for good or for ill. It is up to us as humans to decide how to use it.
I hope this helps to alleviate your concerns about the rise of AI. Remember, there’s no need to panic - as long as we use our brains (both human and artificial), everything will be just fine.
Been playing with it. I really don’t see what the big deal is, it’s a nice little tool, but I don’t see anything particularly earth-shattering about it.
