OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research lab responsible for creating the ChatGPT AI models, has sparked concern about society’s readiness for advanced AI systems, such as the hypothetical ChatGPT-5. The statement, made by an OpenAI employee, suggests that the organization is intentionally not sharing certain AI technologies widely, hoping to prompt a social response to prepare for more advanced systems.
Over the last 18 months artificial intelligence (AI) has been pushing the boundaries of what computers can do. OpenAI the company responsible for the explosion in AI applications thanks to its release of ChatGPT 3 last year, has recently taken a step that has sparked a lively debate about how society should handle the rapid advancement of AI technologies. They’ve suggested slowing down the release of certain AI capabilities, such as those that might be found in a future version of its AI models, to allow society to catch up and prepare for what’s coming next.
This cautious approach has led to a split in public opinion. On one side, there’s excitement about the potential of AI to transform our lives, as seen with OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model. On the other, there’s a sense of concern. For those in the workforce, the advancement of AI raises important questions about job security and the ethical implications of machines taking over roles traditionally held by humans. The emergence of AI-generated content also poses moral dilemmas that society must grapple with. These concerns are not just hypothetical; they are pressing issues that need to be addressed as AI continues to evolve.
Open AI ChatGPT-5 are we ready?
There’s much speculation about the progress OpenAI has made behind closed doors. Given their track record of steady improvements, some believe the organization might be on the cusp of a major breakthrough, possibly in the realm of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). However, OpenAI’s communications have been somewhat ambiguous, leaving room for interpretation and fueling further speculation about their capabilities.
We’re not communist enough yet? Still too many books and people that actually know history and how to do things, hanging around?
AI brainwashing will make make the current leftist liars in media/entertainment/academia drool with envy.
Whose truth?
What does that mean?
there’s only truth, and conjecture...
Guess in a short time frame we will need to use illogical code words to validate human…..
Blue collar manufacturing jobs were not replaced by machines, they were replaced by other people in other countries. Machines have been created to make humans more productive and efficient but those machines have also been moved to other countries to make them more productive and efficient. Our people in this country bought in to the idea because they thought they would get better jobs in offices instead of factories.
Artificial Intelligence is a concept that is based on the robot from Lost in Space or Rosie from the Jetsons. The telling of the story of AI is an effort to distract from actual useful news like a senile president and a very expensive war being lost and a flood of criminals from other countries. Whatever jobs we didn’t send off shore we brought the other shore in to fill, at a lower price. Talking about AI is like worrying about climate change.
Your sitting around on your ass paid for by UBI.
Society devolves further into drugs, porn and violence.
This is not an appealing future for mankind.
But...B Gates, et al, wants to kill off billions. Maybe that will help.
I don’t think it’s good, just maybe it’s coming.
Ahh, that was a generic “Your” representing those who will be out of work and on subsistance for whatever reason. I should have been clearer and don’t figure you for one of those, anyway.
I’ve made the mistake of excelling in difficult pursuits in my life…
Current AI is trained on social media. It is essentially, to borrow a Marxist term, a social construct. It reflects the thinking of a postmodern generation that has unmoored its beliefs from reality. For AI to be useful it needs to be programmed to use the scientific method to train itself and to do that it needs direct access to the physical world to make its own observations and run its own experiments. Until it has that capability, it will simply regurgitate the collective propaganda and psychosis of social media.
This happened in the 80's when mainframe computers and the IBM PC suddenly made hordes of middle managers who were paid to sit around and "know stuff" redundant. Fortunately, at that time the computing revolution opened up many new jobs to compensate.
I don't see AI adding to employment in a similar way, though it might open up new options for smarter people to monetize their abilities.
