Cory DoctorowThat time in 2023 when Very Serious People started holding flashlights under their chins and intoning "Aaaaaaa Iiiiiiii" in a spooky voice until they all went and hid under the covers.
Will@pluralistic the most annoying part is that AI fearmongering *is* AI marketing. "It will replace people" is absolutely the value-add for AI. It's why every C-suite in the country is suddenly obsessed.
"AI will gain sentience and replace people!!!"
"You mean we can cut payroll without cutting productivity???"
Craig Francis@specwill @pluralistic Good point, let’s change it to “AI will replace C-suite people first… as it’s so much better/faster at taking in a lot of data and making decisions, often with less personal biases (though biases will still exist)”
SaftyKuma@craigfrancis @specwill @pluralistic
Look at the typical output from ChatGPT:
Sometimes impressive at first glance but under further scrutiny vapid, generic, full of untruths, and lacking any real deep, meaningful content.
The C-Suite are the very FIRST people ChatGPT should replace.
Riley S. Faelan@SaftyKuma: Also, police interrogators. I bet ChatGPT can do a meaner Reid Technique — which is designed as stochastic parroting and in which lying with impunity is a feature, after all — than your garden variet cop, at a fraction of the cost.
