For #ai. On the scale from #ludite to #zealot there's some people that really go all the way. Not myself, but to each his own.

This article from a friend of mine is taking it all the way, but asks a very interesting question at the end:

“If we started our business today—with current AI capabilities—how would it look?”

My answer: I would outlaw the use of LLM's for producing human read text and human viewed visuals in the statutory agreements. Good fences…

@feditips You lost me at, “Log into your server’s website.”
I’m lucky I found Mastadon at all.

@annaleen @simon

This #toot deserves A LOT more attention.

#ChatGPT has seemingly #apocalytic tendencies.

If U aren't a #Ludite, U will at least consider becoming one afterwards.

#SkynetAntePortas
#TheMatrix might be imminent.

Have all these #AI engineers @ #OpenAI never read #IsaacAsimov? Seen #TheMatrix franchise?

How could they NOT implement the #ThreeLawsOfRobotics +, in particular, the #ZerothLaw *indelibly* into the #AI?!?

"....imagine the kind of hallucinations a large language model like [the AI enabled #SearchEngine #Bard will have if, in addition to misreading its own sources, it's programmed to favor #engagement".

So, will you become a #Ludite?

The new ChatGPT clones from Google and Microsoft are going to destroy online search

Sure, AI chatbots will save you time finding things on the web. But they're also going to lie to you.

Part 2 of my #introduction ; I call it Stuff I Dig. I’m drawn to the #natural #sciences and like to #learn. My #reading lately is #scifi and I’m focused on #JamesRollins and #RobertJordan. My #writing lately is a mix of dry nonfiction and what I call Dark Americana. I’m old so I watch #jeopardy religiously. I also appreciate #Andor and all #StarWars content. I try not to bellyache too much about everything being a remake; instead I try to appreciate #art that is new and original. Yes every possible story has already been told, but tell it in your own way FCOL. I’m a relative #ludite and #loner compared to most netizens. A perfect day for me is spent mostly alone on my #bicycle. Life is best when it’s nice and #boring. But I still enjoy a bit of friendly chit chat especially with people I’d not be likely to encounter IRL.
