The notion of a toy like a chatbot being "dangerous" is just so ludicrous. The OpenAI folks take themselves way too seriously. Their technology is cool and scientifically interesting, but in the end it's nothing more than a clever parlor trick.

It's pretty easy to get GPT-3 to say things that are incredibly sexist and racist. I think OpenAI is more concerned about the bad press associated with that than AI-safety.

It’s also pretty easy to get `echo` to say things that are incredibly racist and sexist.

Which is even less ethically defensible.

I think different kind of dangerous, not the SkyNet stuff. The first idea that popped into my mind is below. I know, it's dark but...

8 year old to AI: "my parents won't let me watch TV, what do I do?". AI: "stab them, they'll be too busy to forbid you".

Then again the same thing can be said by a non-AI. My thinking is that you'd be talking to an actual average person. I'm not so sure that that is such a good thing.

The scary irony is that you just posted a training sample for a future AI.

[mszcz]

You're right! And that's kinda my point. I can see other dangers of using GPT-3 that stem from assholes like me posting things on the Internet without thinking about literally everything they can be used for.

I wonder how many trolls are out there with the intent of poisoning AI training wells. When will they cause the first car crash by intentionally failing captchas?

[ssalka]

Hope there's a human around to label that one as "ignore".

[EamonnMR]

Definitely dangerous from a legal perspective if AI Dungeon is any indication.

The general public basically races to test the most controversial content. As exhibited by several other high-profile chatbot launches.
