Didn't mean to stir up the thread with any blathering I made, lol. Apologies if it derailed things a bit.

but its depend on how you used it, effects of technology mostly depend on the way people used itI heard someone way smarter than me discussing the dangers of AI in general (and specifically of chatGPT).
His suggestion that this technology has the potential to cause "civilizational destruction" was a little disconcerting.
until the technology becomes self aware and sentient.but its depend on how you used it, effects of technology mostly depend on the way people used it
Agree, I have even made a few Chrome extensions with the help of chatgptIt arguably already is self-aware. GPT 4 in particular is smarter than most people. We are about to run out of ways to test it.
But I don’t think it’s going to exterminate us.
This is a great forum to have this conversation, because we’ve all watched our fish at some point and wondered what they were possibly thinking. Wondered what it must be like to be them, living in our tanks.
I would argue - and I think science increasingly agrees - that what it’s like to be a fish (or any vertebrate) and what it’s like to be a human aren’t as far apart as we thought. We share the same basic brain structures for movement, memory, sensation, basic emotions like fear and reward, and fish even have a tiny version of a cerebrum, the part that processes what we call intelligence and awareness. Humans probably experience reality much more richly, but the fundamentals are the same.
AI doesn’t share this structure, and it didn’t evolve organically, so theoretically it doesn't want anything. We want to survive because survival is our billion year old evolutionary mandate, the core of what we are. As far as I can tell, the AI we’ve created doesn’t have independent agency at all - only what we prompt it to have.

But AI intelligence will always be limited to that of its programmer.Agreed. It's really quite scary. The speed at which ai will be able to learn will be lifetimes of knowledge in minutes. But we've got this...
People are already prone and highly efficient at that.His suggestion that this technology has the potential to cause "civilizational destruction" was a little disconcerting.
Is this sarcasm or are you being legit?But AI intelligence will always be limited to that of its programmer.

Ever tried to bypass customer service in lieu of an automated self service? I’m not too concerned.
