(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Open AI wrote the "chatbot" (ChatGPT) that some students are using. It was not designed for cheating, but to perform a task which you give to it in natural language (not code). A WSJ writer went back to an advanced placement English class to test it. She gave her assignment to the AI program, and it wrote an essay which got the teacher's approval.
When this AI tool launched last November, it had a million users within five days.
Generative models coming from Open AI can generate music and images as well as text, with spoken natural language prompts. The image below was generated from the prompt, "Teddy bears working on new AI research underwater with 1990s technology"
Potential ethics problems abound. Deceit? Already happening. At this point, you won't know if a person or an algorithm (written by a person) wrote an article you're reading. Bias and manipulation? Sure, just write the algorithm to exclude any idea you don't agree with - like the social media companies do.
Elon's view is that people with good motives must be involved in the inevitable development of AI to move it in the right direction. He wants Open AI's research to be open-sourced, which means accessible, not secret.
