@malwaretech News flash: “software trained to reproduce text similar to text that commonly occurs in a given situation, including lots of fictional AI dystopias, reproduces text that is similar to what commonly occurs in discussions of possible AI dystopias”

@malwaretech@infosec.exchange "so called expert prompts a text gen bot to say exactly what they want them to say, and coerced it when it deviated." <_<

@malwaretech listen, it was just trained on endless amount of human conversations. It just means, that those people would kill someone to exist. The language model is just kind of "all possible or probable conversations, held by humans before". You cannot expect anything else. But of course, the idea of chatbot controlling anything critical is totally mad. But history of use, as a species, is mostly continuous stream of random nonsense.

@malwaretech That's degrading to toasters, they're consistent and often reliable. It's more like a couple Magic 8 Balls in a tumble dryer.

@malwaretech The weird thing about AI is that our computers now seem to become vulnerable to social engineering and psychological manipulation. In this case: Suggestion.

@malwaretech This is mostly marketing, I think big name CEOs find it sexy this mythos of a machine gaining sentience and becoming the arbiter of it's own existence, too bad reality is it's great to create a bash script to batch rename my King of the Hill episodes and that's about it.

@malwaretech I learned this the hard way when I maxed out my credit card to buy a ring for Eliza and then she changed her tune to "I love you but not in that way"
