Hopefully it all happens before the terminators are error proof. I would prefer that they accidentally kill Roseanne Conner in their hunt for Sarah Connor.
AI has gone far enough

I don't think we have real A.I. and don't know if we ever will. I'm talking the ability to create, have original thoughts/ideas, have a consciousness. Chat GPT was supposed to be this revolutionary A.I. program but it seems to still need to follow it's programming and just repeats answers that it finds on the internet. It doesn't actually "think".
We aren't close to understanding how human consciousness works, so I have my doubts that we're going to create it artificially any time soon. Am I wrong?

But is there really much original thought? The vast majority of what humans do is repeat what they have learned and maybe on a good day apply what they have learned for situation A to situation B. When he was asked to write about himself didn't he take what he could find about other things and apply it to himself? I don't think that is much different than what 99.999% of humans do in 99.99999% of situations.
Short version: People are dumb.
Ah, but isn't that what makes humans intelligent? The ability to compile various ideas from prior human existence into a something that advances us 00.00001% is how innovation works. While history has starts and pauses and the growth isn't constant, this is what we've done.
I'm not sure an AI can interpret sarcasm, reality from parity, nuance, etc. Maybe if they actually make a mechanical model of the brain and a lesser AI writes a more powerful AI.
I agree. I also don't think what the current iterations of AI are doing aren't terribly far from that. It won't be long....
There was an interesting article in the Atlantic about it which I’ll try to find. I think the argument is that the AI actually is pretty far from that (although there were plenty of other articles that chatbot will doom us all).
My understanding is that the chatbot is pretty good at guessing what words come next (e.g. it knows ”that all men are created equal” comes after “we hold these truths to be self-evident,”) but it doesn’t know why that’s the case
Edit: This is the article, which you may or may not be able to read without a subscription; I’m not sure.

This Chat GPT is based on the GPT3 software. GPT3 isn’t quite there, but it’s light years better than gpt2. If they improve it even a bit more it’d be IMO indiscernible from a human. It’s already better than your aunt on Facebook.
No matter where AI ends up it can't be much more incompetent or self serving then most of the people who have been running our country for the last 25 years or so.
I am not ever a conspiracy dude or doomsday guy but I would be lying if I didn’t get spooked by the insane push to keep going further and further with AI.
All I can think of is the old Ian Malcolm to John Hammond in Jurassic Park line:
“Your scientists were so concerned about “could” but not one of you stopped to think “should?”

My first thought was that AI could be fantastic for humanity or end humanity.
Now I'm in the harmful camp. The AI can start to take jobs. For some reason people build an identity around work.
Instead of living in an AI provided world of luxury people will instead fall into drugs and whatever "ism" is being delivered on their phones.
It'll either be a ball of fire and blood in the streets or dead laying in gutters from wars, domestic gun violence, or drug overdose
