Machine learning has been around since the 1950s, but recent developments have taken it from a niche computer science research topic to something that pretty much everyone has interacted with- whether they wanted to or not. There are a ton of debates about machine learning happening right now, especially around the ethics of its training data, the potential for its abuse, and its power and limitations. Is machine learning stealing from artists, coders, and writers? Is it coming for our jobs? Who benefits from it?
Even we humans collect data since birth, we too use them for ābusinessā (manage to live)ā¦ and we rarely cite sourcesā¦ but we do it better than ChaptGPT (but maybe itās just a matter of evolution).
So humans who write algorithms similar to themselves are walking in the right direction!..of course the difference is that for now the business is only for humans who set up or use the algorithm (algorithm that has no āimprovementā consciousness) .
I also noticed that individually humans are āoften wiseā (for example, they donāt destroy their homes and try to share resources fairly among the people they love), but the āmultitudeā (without democratic rules) tends to be a ābig inertā who does not know how to oppose wrong decisions (destruction of the environment, indifference to poverty).
Maybe technology could offer an edge.
Every single man cannot stop the ābig inertā but a DataBase and a software could collect the āmultitude of dataā and process them as a āmultitude of non-self-destructive consciousnessesā offering more useful services and information to the community.
However, it is wonderfully fascinating that a technology makes us talk about such profound topics and not just about how much money it can make.
By the wayšā¦ sorry, but this text is almost completely translated automatically,
One of the things that makes ChatGPT interesting to me is that the company that created it (OpenAI) claims that their mission is āto ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.ā That sounds promising, but itās hard to reconcile that with their decisions around not crediting original creators and monetization: even though they call themselves OpenAI, their products are closed-source and for-profit. Does it benefit all of humanity that Microsoft purchased exclusive rights to GPT-3?
I leave room for maybe the answer to that being yes. But itās hard for me to feel optimistic about the humanitarian benefits of companies started by people like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.
On the other hand, it is good that weāre asking these questions and talking about these ideas!
Thank you for explaining the ChatGPT ābusiness modelā to me.
I agree with your doubts.
My considerations were naturally a hope for the awareness of young people, for their consciences and their intentions.
Tomorrowās companies will have to live in a favorable social ecosystem and if AI is seen by everyone as a ācommon goodā, they will have to adapt to the laws and common sentiment.
CIAO!
