Well, I’ll be the second. Like all tools, generative AI is going to be used for good and evil purposes. Frankly, I’m not comfortable with a large corporation deciding what is and isn’t ethical for all of humanity. Ideally, it would do what the user asked it for, like all other tools, and society would work to control the bad actors, not OpenAI. Any AI doomsday scenario you can picture gets worst when one party has complete control over the AI technology.
I think it’s important that we support unrestricted open source AI, just as it’s important we support federated social media like lemmy.
AGI isn’t just a tool though, it’s theoretically an intelligent entity that could have its own agenda. Armed with intelligence far superior to any human, this is a potential threat. Should we not tightly control it? I know chat gpt is FAR from achieving AGI, but ethics are definitely something that will need to be addressed as the tech develops.
If AGI is an intelligent entity far superior to humans, you can but control it. It is far more intelligent than us and instead it will control us
Given what humankind did to itself and it surroundings maybe this is a good thing.
ChatGPT is not AGI.
They’re aware. They even said that in their comment lol
The conversation was about ChatGPT and not about AGI.
So how can we navigate ethical concerns that arise in society from open source AI? It seems what you’re advocating for is for no one to answer this question, but that doesn’t make the question go away.
You say that as if the ethical concerns of AI kept tightly under control by a single organization aren’t infinitely greater. That is no solution at all to any ethical concerns arising from AI.
Competition and open source is how we navigate it. Ensuring that the power is shared, not monopolized by the few.
It’s unfortunate that it came out that way, because that is not at all what I’m saying. I agree on the problem. Unfortunately, agreeing on problems is rarely enough. I don’t agree with what seems to be your proposed solution: to forget ethics entirely. Though maybe I’m misreading you too!
I apologize for misunderstanding you.
I guess it would help if we clarified what ethical issues specifically are we talking about? If you tell me what scenario you are concerned with trying to prevent, I will gladly share my thoughts on it.
