Ted UnderwoodIt began today: ICML banned text generated by language models from the conference. NYC schools blocked teachers & students from accessing the models. Hate to say it, but this is not going to be a short-lived moral panic. It’s the start of a social conflict that will probably continue for the rest of the century. #llm
This is probably a more important (certainly a clearer) Rubicon to cross than "general intelligence" or whatev. We'll be arguing forever about what "true intelligence" is; it's not well defined. But a model that is capable enough to scare people? That's Jan 3, 2023.
Erin Kissane@TedUnderwood I think I agree with you, but also the list of things school districts panic about is…especially long.
@kissane Hula hoops, the Satanic influence of Paul McCartney, etc.
Nabeel Siddiqui@TedUnderwood @kissane in their defense, school districts were right about hula hoops
C0urage@TedUnderwood in the AI world too, never ending debate haha. Turing test!

I really wanted to respond to this with text generated by chatgpt addressing the situation, but it's down right now :(

@pinchera I love that thing! I’ll argue with you using that. Pick a topic. Let’s see if we can use it to argue with each other hahaha

Honestly, it'd create a more on-topic conversation than we'd get engaging with 90% of the accounts on the bird site :)

You're on--once chatgpt is back online. Possible topic: Impact of the Opium Wars on 21st-century societal norms.

@pinchera you’re on. Pick a side.
@C0urage
Hehe...crap, that topic may not be ideal for this as it's not binary...or maybe it's perfect!
I'll side with: the Opium Wars bolstered (or perhaps created) the perception that capitalism trumps public health.
I dunno...you good with this debate or have something else in mind? 🤪
@pinchera dude I have to be educated on the damn topic to know what the hell to even ask hahahahah. Show off!
@C0urage
Yeah...it's not a great first-attempt topic :) I'm just moderately knowledgeable on the subject...
Feel free to start with a different topic (and maybe create a new toot thread for that). What would you dig prompting AI to debate itself?
