We asked ChatGPT if AI is a threat to humanity

 

and we're more scared than before!!




Asked ‘What is the biggest threat to humanity posed by artificial intelligence?’, two leading chatbots dispensed equally apocalyptic responses:

‘The biggest existential threat to humanity from artificial intelligence (AI) is the potential development of superintelligent AI systems that could surpass human intelligence and act in ways that are not aligned with human values and interests,’ wrote ChatGPT.

When asked the same question, Google’s Bard built on ChatGPT’s ideas.

‘If AGI is not aligned with human values, it could pose a number of existential threats to humanity, including accidental or deliberate destruction of humanity,’ it said.

‘AGI could accidentally or deliberately harm or destroy humans if it is not programmed with our best interests in mind. For example, an AGI system that is designed to maximise its own power or resources could decide to eliminate humanity as a threat.’

ChatGPT said: ‘The concern is not about the AI we have today, which is generally narrow and designed for specific tasks, but rather about AI that surpasses human intelligence and has the capability to rapidly improve its own abilities.’

When asked ‘are you going to kill us all?’, both chatbots pledged not to facilitate the end of humanity.

Which is exactly what a chatbot planning world domination would say.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
