So if AI will truly makw all audio and video seen on devices as indicernably real, then nothing you see or hear can ever be trusted.

The AI cloned voices of fake kidnapped children are already being heard pleading for help as scam ransom demands start to appear.

It's futile anyway. When horses were replaced by cars, no amount of lobbying by the horse lobby could have stopped that. AI will be used wherever it leads to a gain in productivity, like it or loathe it.

Elon Musk was one of the founders of OpenAI, though since then he has sold his shares of the company but he has multiple investments in other AI companies. People who have made investments in OpenAi have also signed that petition.

Musk announced he’s going to develop TruthGPT because he fears that existing AI businesses are training their systems to be “politically correct.”


Gods help us

As much as think AI is an amazing invention, I think there are more than enough qualified people in the industry raising big concerns over it. If things carry on as they are, we will, at some point in the near future, lose control over it, and when that happens, things could get very ugly. I heard someone (may have been Musk) comparing the dawn of AI to the extinction of the Neanderthals. It looks likely that they were wiped out because a bigger, better, more intelligent species came along and rendered them useless.

I fully support the six moth pause that was recently called for. The problem we have is that there is so much money to be made, we cannot rely on industry to behave ethically or ensure safety protools are in place. The creators of ChatGPT themselves have publicly said that they are uncomfortable with the pace that Microsoft is pushing them, along with openly admitting that they don't have a clear understanding of how the thing they've created actually works. This should be ringing alarm bells everywhere. It's like Marie Curie messing with radioactivity multiplied by a billion. She had no idea what she was dealing with and it eventually killed her.

So who can we rely on to keep us safe? The government? They have absolutely no clue about it. Take the banking industry - It's well known for creating the most complicated financial structures that are impossible for any politician to fathom out, as a way of avoiding tax. Do we really think politicians can get a grip on AI? I heard the US government have even began asking the public for their views on how to deal with it.

The US military have recently come out and said they are training AI systems to be used on the battlefield, as they are so much faster at decision making. What happens when the enemy also get their AI? What happens when incredibly advanced AI end up fighting our wards for us? Isn't that what Arnie warned us about in Terminator?

From nuclear energy which lead to nuclear bombs to diseases escaping from labs, we don't exactly have a great track record of controlling that which we create. AI is going to be such a humungous gear change in the way society operates, with potentially millions becoming jobless overnight, to not being able to trust anything that is presented to us as fact, the least we can do is halt the progress of it for six months and figure out just exactly what we're playing with here.

AI is another reason to share as little as possible online.

Just beware.

I use ChatGPT all the time in my work and it's useful for so many things. The latest version can even translate Khmer, I tried copying and pasting from some Khmer news sites and it produced good English, not like you get the FB and Google translate.

Respectfully, this is an incredibly bad and short sighted idea. The world is in an AI arms race. It will define the future of software development, manufacturing, food production, public discourse, in fact I’m struggling to think of a part of our lives that won’t be impacted by it. The bad guys aren’t going to stop for 6 months, so neither should anyone else.

Why you should not rely entirely on ChatGPT:

A New York lawyer is facing a court hearing of his own after his firm used AI tool ChatGPT for legal research.
