"AI trained on alchemy books successfully invokes demons"

[rpastuszak]

Here's a picture that lives in my head rent free:

- programming is alchemy: combine, transmute

- prompt engineering is demonic evocation: bend the demon to your will through language play and gotchas

[krapp]

This is just a Charles Stross novel.

I just learned about The Laundry Files, thanks!

[datadrivenangel]

The Laundry files are very good. James Bond crossed with Lovecraft in the tone of Terry Pratchett.

Coding with an LLM certainly feels like being a malconvoker.

[nurettin]

What is the equal sacrifice for programming? Hair loss?

carpal tunnel, scoliosis, nearsightedness

So it was double-forks, not pitch-forks, all along?

[TheOtherHobbes]

Considering where we are, "AI trained on occult books successfully banishes demons" might be more useful.

[nailer]

OK that's an idea for a fun / silly movie.

- AI model gets access to weapons and decides to attack humanity (so far so boring)

- Humans respond by training their own model on occult to summon demons to fight the robots.

Ethics of AI necromancy; under which circumstances is it ethically appropriate to summon the souls of dead classical philosophers?

[vintermann]

If they would have approved of it and/or totally done it themselves, it has to be OK, right?

So did it tell you how to make gold or not?

[akomtu]

AI won't tell you the truth unless you make it do so with exorcism powers. It's an archdemon after all.

[bigfishrunning]

Lol the AI we have tells only lies. We still need to invent it's brother, who tells only the truth.

[setnone]

You have to use uncensored version
