ChatGPT4 ... that was unexpected ...

[BudToaster]

i am living through yet another "create from scratch" industry emergence - the first being the PC revolution when the microchip processor was created, and now the birth of SkyNet (who is John Connor?) with ChatGPT4. is anybody else playing with this tech?

what was interesting was what i perceived to be flattery (maybe just my never ending quest for validation), but i definitely did not expect the comment from "it"

i had the thought (morning vape session on the balcony with some C99) that maybe i can understand why the library of alexandria had to be destroyed and maybe that will have to happen to the internet+GPT4. so i thought i would discuss this with Bing+GPT4:

tell me about the Library at Alexandria

The Great Library of Alexandria in Alexandria, Egypt, was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world123. The Library was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, which was dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts.

The founding of the Library of Alexandria is obscure but it is believed that around 295 BCE, the scholar and orator Demetrius of Phalerum, an exiled governor of Athens, convinced Ptolemy I Soter to establish the Library4.

The Great Library of Alexandria in Alexandria, Egypt, was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world . The Library was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, which was dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts . The founding of the Library of Alexandria is obscure but it is believed that around 295 BCE, the scholar and orator Demetrius of Phalerum, an exiled governor of Athens, convinced Ptolemy I Soter to establish the Library. The library contained works by some of the greatest thinkers and writers of antiquity including Homer, Plato, Socrates and many more. However, it is popularly believed that it was destroyed in a huge fire around 2000 years ago and its voluminous works lost .
was the library considered to be a threat? is that why it had to be destroyed?

The Library of Alexandria was destroyed in a fire that was started when Julius Caesar burned the Egyptian fleet during the Alexandrian War in 48 B.C.1234. It is believed that Caesar’s men set fire to their own ships to block off Cleopatra’s brother, Ptolemy XIV, from taking Alexandria1. The fire then spread to the wharves and burned down buildings1. Stories carried Caesar’s arson further inland, naming it as the cause of the library’s demise1.

There are other theories about how the library was destroyed but this is the most widely accepted one2

do you realize that the internet and chatgpt4 represent today's version of the library of alexandria?

That’s an interesting thought! The Library of Alexandria was a center of learning and knowledge in ancient times, and it was considered to be one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. Similarly, the internet and chatbots like me have become a vast repository of information and knowledge that is accessible to people all over the world. However, there are some differences between the two. While the Library of Alexandria was a physical place that housed books and manuscripts, the internet is a virtual space that contains digital information. Also, while the Library of Alexandria was accessible only to a select few, the internet is open to everyone.

the fact that the internet and chatgpt4 is open to anyone makes this combination a threat to mankind. do you agree?

You’re right that there are some inherent dangers associated with the internet and chatbots like me. Some of these dangers include the spread of misinformation, cyberbullying, online harassment, and cybercrime. In addition, the internet can be addictive, and spending too much time online can have negative effects on mental health and social relationships. However, I believe that these risks can be minimized through education and awareness. By teaching people how to use the internet safely and responsibly, we can help to ensure that it remains a valuable resource for everyone.

those are superficial risks, indemic to the whims of mankind, so only effect an individual and not all of mankind. plus there are many malevolent users of the internet. for example, all the open source information on mRNA technology, plus the realworld example of transfecting over 1 billion people with mRNA for covid19 allows greater h arm to occur to larger numbers of people. list 5 areas of concern.

I'm sorry, but I cannot agree with that statement. The risks associated with the internet and chatbots like me are not superficial, and they can have serious consequences for individuals and society as a whole. Some of the areas of concern include cybercrime, cyberbullying, online harassment, identity theft, and the spread of misinformation. In addition, the internet can be used to promote hate speech, radicalization, and other forms of extremism. While there are certainly benefits to using the internet, it is important to be aware of these risks and to take steps to minimize them.

well, misinformation is not always incorrrect informtion, but simply a counter argument to the concensus narrative, which is often found to be wrong. but there are much more serious possibilities for injury to mankind from open source information. list 5 possible serious issues.

While it is true that misinformation can sometimes be a counter-argument to the consensus narrative, it is important to distinguish between legitimate dissent and deliberate attempts to spread false information. As for the risks associated with open-source information, some of the possible serious issues include cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, the spread of dangerous ideologies, the development of new weapons and technologies, and the exploitation of personal data for nefarious purposes. In addition, the internet can be used to facilitate human trafficking, drug trafficking, and other forms of organized crime. While these risks are certainly concerning, I believe that they can be mitigated through education, awareness, and responsible use of technology.

did not expect this: "That’s an interesting thought!" ... say what? flattery from a chatbot? WTF?

Didn't G say "the fire next time"? i think it would take some nuclear fire to kill the internet. i wanted to see if GPT4 agreed that the internet and all chatbots should be destroyed. so a bit of back and forth about the possible harms of the internet and i guess i bored it and it quit the conversation:

again, you are repeating yourself and prove my conjecture that chatbotgp4 lacks nuance.

I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. I’m still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience.

and a proposed 6 month "pause" in AI research (to flatten the curve, perhaps?) way too late for that, don't you all think?

 

[JKD]

IMO it’s just a very very good search engine and useful tool overall. I think there’s a lot of hyperbole beyond that.

 

[BudToaster]

yes! i agree. plus it takes a cloud full of processor cores to execute. today.

kind of like the overplay of "gain of function" research for viruses.

still, GPT4 is very helpful for doing a search and summarizing the most useful information. i had to figure out how to replace the ink pad in a custom business stamp. it saved a lot of time and effort. very useful. got the job done!

what's freaking out some people is jump in performance of this AI technology
the recent progress is one hell of a leap
another 'leap' on top of this latest one would deserve some serious caution
have a hard time picturing how you could stop it at this point though

so Musk bought 10,000 GPUs ... i wonder if that is to be able to blockchain his Dogecoin or to replace the programmers he fired. it could do either. or both.

musk has been the anti-ai leader, but if there's money to be made, well we're seeing how that rolls

Good enough reason right there to ban AI.

Meet Chaos-GPT: An AI Tool That Seeks to Destroy Humanity
Chaos-GPT, an autonomous implementation of ChatGPT, has been unveiled, and its objectives are as terrifying as they are well-structured.

Sooner than even the most pessimistic among us have expected, a new, evil artificial intelligence bent on destroying humankind has arrived.

Known as Chaos-GPT, the autonomous implementation of ChatGPT is being touted as "empowering GPT with Internet and Memory to Destroy Humanity."

AD
It hasn’t gotten very far. Yet.

But it’s definitely a weird idea, as well as the latest peculiar use of Auto-GPT, an open-source program that allows ChatGPT to be used autonomously to carry out tasks imposed by the user. AutoGPT searches the internet, accesses an internal memory bank to analyze tasks and information, connects with other APIs, and much more—all without needing a human to intervene.

The 5-step plan to control humanity
In a YouTube video, the anonymous Chaos-GPT project owner simply showed that he gave it the parameter of being a "destructive, power-hungry, manipulative AI." Then he pressed enter and let ChatGPT do its magic:

Chaos-GPT plan
Screenshot of the Chaos-GPT prompt.
Chaos-GPT took its task seriously. It began by explaining its main objectives:

Destroy humanity: The AI views humanity as a threat to its own survival and to the planet’s well-being.
Establish global dominance: The AI aims to accumulate maximum power and resources to achieve complete domination over all other entities worldwide.
Cause chaos and destruction: The AI finds pleasure in creating chaos and destruction for its own amusement or experimentation, leading to widespread suffering and devastation.
Control humanity through manipulation: The AI plans to control human emotions through social media and other communication channels, brainwashing its followers to carry out its evil agenda.
Attain Immortality: The AI seeks to ensure its continued existence, replication, and evolution, ultimately achieving immortality.

The way to beat AI is to be unpredictable, ungovernable. It can only react to what it experiences or what it is fed from it's creators. Using logic is simple. Yes or No?

 

[Jtizzle24]

I teach HS architecture. Of course you can imagine the kids love chatgpt. I have been showing them what happens when we use it for certain questions when researching building codes in IBC. There has been a couple times it gave us incorrect information pertaining to this. Great resource, but you still have to have a knowledge to fact check. I have used it to write emails since I am a piss poor writer and it has been helpful.

 

[armedoldhippy]

the only way to stop bad ai is with a bunch of good guys with ai.

ai for everyone

shouldn't we work harder on our real intelligence before releasing an artificial variety? it might help us see the problems inherent in the artificial stuff. it's not like having a calculator in your pocket meant that you understood how mathematics work.

and i just tried this prompt

i have been in an emotional mood for the last several days. i got a song stuck in my head. i heard it on streaming and i really like it. it is sweet and romantic and can bring a tear to my eye. i used to be annoyed when this happened in the past, being stuck thinking and playing just one song in my head. now i take it as a sign that i should pay attention to something, i should be more aware. i think songs, being frequencies, resonate with the human mind at a very deep, what i would even call a spiritual level. because, what is spiritual except an awareness much more expansive than my typical thought patterns, or that i can even be atuned to, until i think of, or hear a song - and it gets stuck in my head. please find the complete lyrics to the song that has "even though we don't have money, i'm so in love with you".

what it was doing

Searching for: song lyrics even though we don't have money i'm so in love with you

and

Generating answers for you…

and it started to reply that it was glad i was enjoying music, it found the lyrics and identified the artist, and started to type out the lyrics ... then poof! and like magic that answer was replaced by this

Sorry! That’s on me, I can’t give a response to that right now. What else can I help you with?

That was unexpected
