There are lots of articles about bad use cases of ChatGPT that Google already provided for decades.
Want to get bad medical advice for the weird pain in your belly? Google can tell you it’s cancer, no problem.
Do you want to know how to make drugs without a lab? Google even gives you links to stores where you can buy the materials for it.
Want some racism/misogyny/other evil content? Google is your ever helpful friend and garbage dump.
What’s the difference apart from ChatGPT’s inability to link to existing sources?
Edit: Just to clear things up. This post is specifically not about the new use cases that come from AI. Sure, Google cannot make semi-non-functional mini programs automatically, and Google will not write a fake paper in whole for me. I am specifically talking about the “This will change the world” articles, that mirror stuff that Google can do exactly like ChatGPT can.
I’m both really excited and worried about the part where AI takes over so many jobs that enough people will be without work. I wonder how society will deal with that, will everyone get a proper base “salary” for existing or will there be huge refuge-like camps for the poor jobless people?
Under capitalism, i fear automationing will mean people losing their jobs only have worse, often dangerous opinions, that machines could do, meanwhile entertainment and the like will be flooded by even shittier quality AI made crap. I can only pray it will mean everyone’s basic needs being covered, but that requires a huge shift
Yeah, I just don’t see that happening. The whole “western” world is taking hard turn to the right, and that’s not going to get better any time soon.
The problem is that the ones that will benefit from AI taking over are the big companies that create such AIs - Google, Meta, Apple. They will grow exponentially by having AIs work for them 24/7. So its not like himanity as a whole will grow, it will just be these companies, and they will slowly become the rulers of humanity.
