> Is ChatGPT or the like going to become self-aware, compromise other computer systems, etc? No more than your shoe is going to take over your foot. Agreed. It's strange though, to be honest I don't see much if any worry about self awareness, i think anyone who knows anything understands that's not the issue. The "issue" if you can call it that is how it will impact society from a labor and content perspective. How much synthetic content will be perceived as true and assumed to be correct simply because we haven't had time to adapt to the fact that the rate of synthetic content is exponential now. |

That will be a problem for sure. But people believe all sorts of easy to debunk things already and that list is ever-expanding, so I don't know if there's any cure for it.
As far as content goes, I think human beings writing out boilerplate anything is something that's not long for this world.
Labor is a trickier one to judge, but I'm not too worried about a large negative impact in the immediate future.
People thought that modern appliances would usher in a new age of leisure, and the truth was that while they removed a lot of drudgery, work expanded to fill the vacuum and the percentage of the week spent laboring didn't significantly decrease.
On a positive note, I think the kind of work people are subject to now is better because of modern appliances, so I wouldn't be surprised if the same holds true for all the labor problems that can be handled by neural net / LLMs.
