Supposedly Putin's fled to a nice little forest resort.

I hate to keep drawing parallels to history (no I don't) but now it's looking a bit French Revolution-y. Will we see the guillotine?
Hey, Imagine what a song-writing GPT model can do!?
We, humanity, are doomed ((((
[ Lyrics for a pop song.] ((This and the em space before the first line were my prompt.))
This is not a lyric
But an idea
From the perspective of a
Mermaid
At first I didn't know where to go, what to do
I was just swimming around in a small pond.
But then it came to me.
And now my tail's strong as a rock and
My hair's long and pretty like the seaweed on the beach.
My arms are like seaweeds too.
I'm the prettiest mermaid you've ever seen.
If anyone asks, tell 'em that I'm a mermaid!
If they say that I can't be one because I've got legs,
Then I'll turn into a fish.
So don't worry 'bout me.
There's nothing I can't do if I set my mind to it.
The ocean is big—it goes on forever and ever.
As long as you're happy, everything will be fine!
The sea is a friendly place for anyone who's
A mermaid
And anyone who's not.
Anyone who's not, please come join us!
Everyone's welcome.
комисса́ры?Surprisingly, no(t yet).
(Do they still exist? Or will do again?)
If you can't understand how a song can push you into doing things you otherwise wouldn't, this conversation is hopeless.You're thinking of influence. That's not manipulation. And it's nothing new, really. Nor will it affect the world all that much. True AI will, sure. But it won't be GPT, or at least not solely GPT.
For the record: Disambiguation (also called word sense disambiguation or text disambiguation) is the act of interpreting an author's intended use of a word that has multiple meanings or spellings.
A song isn't self-aware but a good one manipulates you plenty.No it doesn't. A song can't compel and socially engineer me into doing something like a skilled human would.
The right words and the right notes are all that's ever needed.
You talked about chatbots manipulating people. That requires actually having any agency instead of being a fancy answer machine.Again, instructions and valuable(ish) questions would be a good fit for GPT. But not human small talk. No way would I be truly "friends" with a chatbot.
That wasn't the point I was trying to make, at all. Look at the thread title man.
100B, 1T, 10T GPT models will still^ my point exactly.
1) Be unable to react to current events
2) Will either have either short memory OR produce completely random answers because of some unrelated conversation 5K tokens ago
3) Be incredibly, unbelievably bad at everything math related. And everything that requires abstract thinking.
4) most importantly, still possess nothing resembling self-awareness
Can we create actual AIs that can manipulate us? Probably. Those won't be language models
"Getting the right answer" is not intelligence. "Knowing why the answer is right" is a better measure of intelligence. "Being able to teach others why the answer is right" is perhaps even an even better measure.Again, instructions and valuable(ish) questions would be a good fit for GPT. But not human small talk. No way would I be truly "friends" with a chatbot.
That said - it's practically irrelevant if a group of people are following instructions generated by a human versus those generated by a non-sentient or non-sapient computer program. If you are getting instructions on how to make a sandwich, and the result of following the instructions is a tasty, arguably nutritious food, does it matter?
If the instructions are "how to avoid going bankrupt" or "how to avoid political unrest" or "how to establish equity and diversity", does it matter how they are generated? Note this is not "do the ends justify the means" - the "means" would be the particular instructions, such as if "instructions to get a tasty sandwich: rob a famous diner."
Remember that almost all AI today is simply a stochastic pattern matching device. There is some research and work occurring about how to give some of these devices "agency" which goes beyond the pattern matching.
First of all, that won't solve the problem of small talk. No amount of datasetting can. You would need to actually have perception for that to be possible. That would indeed be solvable with the correct information... and GPT can't get that sort of information in real-time by its very nature. Second of all, retraining neural nets, particularly large ones, on new info is expensive and time-consuming so that won't solve discussing news or feedback about newly-made media. I won't be able to e.g talk to a chatbot about my SF setting or discuss that newly-released AAA game with it."Genius" that is a blind, deaf amnesiac? Do you even understand how neural network chatbots work?
I've outlined in exhausting detail why they could come up with answers better then the average bear if you give them the correct information. You think just because they can't independently observe their intelligence is useless. Every question asked on the internet is to people who can't directly observe your problem, and yet it's kinda fucking popular.
I wish there was a way to tell when a military backpack or any other bit of clothing had an attached pouch with out having to pick it up and activate it, why couldn't they do it like guns with a + and a number?Or like for ballistic vests, with e.g "(mag pouches)".
