Default The Thread for Reasonable, Informed, and Measured Commentary about A.I.
https://www.themidwesterner.news/202...rning-parents/

I decided to dedicate a thread to providing links and discussion about A.I.

What could go wrong?

There's no way AI will ever be able to reliably predict the outcome of sporting events, right?

When I think of A.I. I immediately think of two things.

1. Skynet
2. Dr. Ian Malcolm, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not if they could, they didn't stop to think if they should"

If AI were to replace us, would that mean less polls?
Cuz if yeah, I'm all for it.

But will AI create a BO account and debate with you?

Really?

Allen Iverson is the immediate thought that comes to mind.

He didn’t even have time for practice. Why would he debate on BO?

I am due for a new phone soon. But Samsung's Galaxy S24 comes with A.I.

I am feeling trepidation.

This is a challenge facing every company building consumer AI products — not just Google.

Based on my understanding of this saga, nobody at Google actually set out to force Gemini to depict the Pope as a woman, or Vikings as Black people, nor did anyone want it to find moral equivalency between Musk and Hitler. This was a failed attempt at instilling less bias and it went awry.
So the AI models are capable of producing accurate (even if offensive) results which in turn led the tech companies to add the "software guardrails" that ended up producing ridiculous and offensive results—but this isn't an example of bias?

It feels like there's some sleight-of-hand going on to side-step the charge of bias.

in another year or two, anyone with a decade’s worth of fb/insta pictures are gonna be able to be turned into a 10-minute, completely realistic porno.

or a 10-second, completely realistic video of them cheating on their spouse. with a dragon. or a unicorn.

anyone is gonna be able to upload 10-15 pictures of anyone else and turn it into anything they want.
