Discover the truth as ObjectivelyDan and Eli Slack discuss the future of AI and how Moon landing conspiracy theorists obtained their beliefs.
Nirro in TN has a conspiracy theory about AI where the bot “Crawler” will be spawning lots of webpages that spread Christian and religious propaganda. This is another thing that keeps us up at night! We don’t even know how creative we can be with this stuff yet. There are AI created websites that you can build in real time.
Mr. Crabs in MD explains how ChatGPT is not the same as AI because it is restructuring things that humans generate; AI needs to create its own to be called AI. How would this disqualify it from being AI? It just takes information that it has been trained on and generates words. What happens when a model is pushed beyond what it is trained to do? We have to figure out what we need to do to adapt to this new world. There have been things that have happened in the last few years that people did not expect for another twenty. Tools that we figure out how to use responsibly can be beneficial.
Ellen in AL has some friends that no longer believe in the moon landing. This is probably within the top five of conspiracy theories, at least in the U.S. The more deeply held this belief is, the harder it will be to change their mind. If they don’t even know how they got to this belief in the first place, it makes it more difficult to change. Be the friend they can talk to about this belief because they will not be as likely to isolate themselves and question that belief. This kind of thing starts with a little bit of mistrust of what they are being told, and can spiral from there. Being an atheist does not insulate one from this pitfall.
Jeff in OH says that AI should be regulated to prevent harm caused by bad decisions made by the AI like that of self driving cars. How do you think this will affect things like insurance? What about ships doing freight routes and planes flying people around? Maybe there is a way to make this more safe when people’s lives are involved. Who should make the decisions about regulation? Knowing how one AI model works does not mean you will know how all AI models work.
Thank you for tuning in this week! Prompt for the week is: What do you NOT say when firing someone?
