But the concerns about AI taking over the world are valid and important; even if they sound silly at first, there is some very solid reasoning behind it. They’re big matrices, yes, but they’re Turing-complete which means they can theoretically do any computational task
See https://youtu.be/tcdVC4e6EV4 for a really interesting video on why a theoretical superintelligent AI would be dangerous, and when you factor in that these models could self-improve and approach that level of intelligence it gets worrying…
This comment basically implies I don't get it, but I will if I watch a Youtube video. I get it. ChatGPT isn't that. That's the point. You can have concerns about AGI. That's fine. But they have nothing to do with LLMs unless you are trying to play a shell game.
> They're big matrices and they are very cool tools!
Well, your mom is a etc
Edit: Since this is getting downvoted I'll be more explicit: The human brain may well be also just described as some simple sort of thing, but that doesn't mean humans are not dangerous, nor hypothetical humans with a brain ten times as large and a million times faster. The worry about AIs killing all humans soon is not naive just by sounding naive.
Sure, it's not naive just because it sounds naive. It's naive for other reasons (for one thing, we're really no closer to super-intelligent AIs than we were before the LLM craze began).
A lot of people would disagree with that. You can hardly deny that progress has sped up in the last few years, so I don't know why we shouldn't extrapolate this speed into the coming years.
