| That's actually one milestone we have already crossed in my opinion. Facebook Cicero AI was competitive at top levels of the game diplomacy. I imagine customer facing AI will have superhuman levels of patience. It actually makes me think of a different AI trope, a post apocalyptic world where "friendly" AI refuses to believe something terrible is happening. There have been great audio short stories about AI on the Truth Podcast. The podcast has a different story every episode, but your comment reminded me of this episode. [1] Where you're put into the perspective of someone who needs to try to convince an AI to go against its programming in order to help you. The AI is a customer care agent that is in charge of a wedding store. My favorite episode is this one [2]. Where you are in the perspective of a grad student finishing work on the first empathetic AI. But the AI can pick up things about you that you would explicitly share, and so the question becomes where should the line be drawn for constructive criticism from an AI? How much control should someone have over AI personalized to guide them? I think it's fair to be cynical, but AI feels different in how equal access these first tools have been. I feel more cynical from Google's approach. Pictures and demos of cutting edge models don't feel genuine or impactful now that ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion showed what's possible at scale and on current consumer hardware. Brain chemistry is another interesting episode when framed in the context of "uploading" your brain into a computer. If it reaches self-awareness, are you not dooming yourself to a life of immortality? [3] What role would human intimacy play in that context? 1. https://www.thetruthpodcast.com/story/2017/1/11/the-dark-end... 2. https://www.thetruthpodcast.com/story/2020/5/20/the-fraud 3. https://www.thetruthpodcast.com/story/2017/9/27/brain-chemis... |
