That is an absolutely horrifying statement. The idea that people are becoming unable or unwilling to use any problem solving or critical thinking.
this is their endgame
Fuck… that’s even worse
Have you ever read "I, Starship?" This is literally the bunker people that they come back to on their return voyage after the 1st book. Totally dependant on their AI governor for any decision-making whatsoever.
Man, why'd all the shitty sci-fi have to come true... I don't wanna live in I Have No Neuromancer And I Must 451
To quote Alex:
Alex Blechman (@AlexBlechman) tweeted: Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.
Kinda like in Wall-E where almost nobody has critical thought until a robot teaches it to them. They all have their entertainment systems mindlessly scrolling while the robots do everything for them.
You Mockingbird you...
I meaaaan, I'd argue that before ChatGPT people would just read books or ask others for advice, no? Ain't no one figuring out child rearing completely in the dark.
I'd also argue, of course, that ChatGPT is a significantly unhealthier means to solve the same problem.
Books written by humans who are ostensibly experts on the subject.
Not an endlessly sycophantic chatbot
Hopefully Darwin awards will take care of that.
When it's a few hundred people now and then, we have potential for natural selection.
When it's hundreds of millions of people who run our businesses, our hospitals, our food delivery network, our power stations and all the vast support systems that make those systems work, then we have a much, much bigger problem than a few people putting their baby in the freezer because chatGTP doesn't actually have a concept of how the world works.
And this is just how it is right now, still a brand new technology. What's it going to be like when it can predict all our behavior patterns, all our thoughts and wants and be able to find all our emotional backdoors and hack our brains like hypnotizing a chicken by drawing a line in front of its beak?
I feel like even the people predicting the danger of these systems still don't get how dangerous they're going to be because of how commonplace they will be and how easy humans are to influence and reshape.
We clearly evolved from golgafrinchian Ark B.
