Artificial Intelligence Developments (ChatGPT etc)

There'll always be humans overseeing and editing etc what AI produces, that still cuts out lots of jobs
It could just as well add lots, depending on the use case people develop. Whole industries now exist because of the invention of spreadsheets and word processors and mobile communications.

Maybe, but AI directly replicates human work, a spreadsheet doesn't
 
Yes it did. Spreadsheets used to be massive sheets of paper all calculated by hand. A “calculator” used to refer to a human being. There was a whole class of work that was calculating things.
thats true, you're right. the degree of labour saving is on a different scale here though.
we will see
 
never mind the titles of this video, this is a quick overview of Co-Pilot and the same office Ai coming to google office apps


the "destroy business" alluded to is other Ai companies who wont be able to complete with microsoft and google

And no one will be tempted to save money by cutting corners when automating routine jobs by doing away with those who are trained to spot the unforeseen and unscripted, the unfortunate coincidence, the unexpected consequence, because those things are so rare it's a risk worth carrying for a big firm?
 
OpenAI's GPT-4 Is Closed Source and Shrouded in Secrecy

OpenAI released a 98-page technical report on Tuesday [which] did not disclose what it used to train the model or how it trained the model, including the energy costs and hardware used for it, making GPT-4 the company’s most secretive release thus far. As Motherboard has noted before, this is a complete 180 from OpenAI's founding principles as a nonprofit, open-source entity.
[...]
“They are willfully ignoring the most basic risk mitigation strategies, all while proclaiming themselves to be working towards the benefit of humanity,”
[...]
Competitors can't copy it, but ethical AI researchers and users also can't scrutinize it to point out obvious problems. Keeping it closed source doesn't mean those problems don't exist, it just means they'll remain hidden until people stumble on them or something goes amiss.

Keeping its training set secret also has the effect of making it more difficult for people to know whether their intellectual property and copyrighted work have been scraped.
[...]
Big tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta are racing to create new AI technologies as fast as possible, often sidestepping or shrugging off ethical concerns along the way. [...] Microsoft cut an entire ethics and society team within its AI department, as part of its recent layoffs, leaving the company without a dedicated responsible AI team, while it continues to adopt OpenAI products as part of its business.
 
I have a slightly optimisitc take; that the avalanche of "content" that AI will spew into the world will be so overwhelming and unstoppable, that human-powered curation will be neccesary and valuable again. The algorithms that control social media, news, advertising etc. won't be able to cope, and the only recourse will be actual writers, editors and relationships based on trust. No more open-to-all submission boxes, but instead face to face meetings and face to face work, to assure veracity.

It's either that or drowning in bullshit. Which is probably more likely tbf.
 
sounds like Bing currently that little bit better than Bard
10 minute video in which both get asked the same questions

 
Stupid question, but when you picture one of these AIs — ChatGPT, say — in your mind’s eye, what is the image or object that comes to mind?
 
I'm trying to get this up and running:



It's quite exciting because it's in effect having something on par with ChatGPT running locally on a PC.

Though they say if you want to train it, you'll need something with a high end graphics card.
 
I suppose that I in some way picture a blank-faced robot? With unmoving mouth-slit and shining blue eyes. Ridiculous.
 
first thing to mind was a cube, like a crushed car or wall-e's body. One thing that depresses me about this stuff is the people most credulous and 'omg its alive!' are the same cunts who yesterday were on the NFT wagon. Its like a reverse turing 'oh wow this is as good as an essay' what level are you reading at boss because no.

To be fair, I can see everyone having a local AI on their mobile phone that is capable of knowing it's user better than they know themselves on many different things.

Of course the AI wouldn't know every childhood nightmare you had, but my point is that on a casual phone call, one day I would see it of having the capability of fooling your friends and family that they are speaking to you .... until of course after a few minutes of conversation, the local AI of the other party on the phonecall, would tell them that they aren't talking to you, but another AI pretending to be you!

It's going to be funny. Who doesn't have people they know and love, but would rather not talk to? Perhaps that ex partner who wants to discuss access to the children. Surely you would rather have an AI that can be a better version of you, that could pacify and negotiate with them?

It gets dodgy. Maybe have the AI deal with that new partner you want to get into bed, making the new partner believe you're more classy than you really are?

Anyway, wouldn't that be the ultimate "Turing" test? Not only convince another human that the AI is human, but that the AI is a specific human that they know and love?
 
A datacenter the size of an IKEA warehouse, the air above it shimmering with heat.
Ironically, ChatGPT was used to make Llama (another AI) more effecient to the point it can be run on a PC.

That is massive news, because the resulting AI "Alpaca 7B" in it's default form pre-trained is on par with ChatGPT and can be run on a PC.

I guess we will still have massive datacentres because we will simply use chuck much more data for the more efficent AI to work with.

I don't think of AIs as necessarily operating on specific hardware. As far as I know, they could be run on a purpose-built server farm, or they could be run entirely off the cloud, depending on design considerations. So I guess the most important image that comes to mind would be the user interface, since that is the point of contact between human and machine in this case.

It works on my watch too!

A standard computer server room, though maybe with the unsettling ability to jiggle its cables around at will
 
I don’t have thoughts on what it looks like. Which is possibly a bad assessment on me. The text though, GPT, makes me think more of motor racing than AI.
