Okay

 

so?

It's a good "get up to speed" piece so to speak with the basics:

Everything you wanted to know about AI – but were afraid to ask

"From chatbots to deepfakes, 

here is the lowdown on the current state of artificial intelligence."

"Barely a day goes by without some new story about AI, or artificial intelligence. The excitement about it is palpable – the possibilities, some say, are endless. Fears about it are spreading fast, too."

"In some respects, it is already in our lives in ways you may not realize. The special effects in some films and voice assistants like Amazon’s Alexa all use simple forms of artificial intelligence. But in the current debate, AI has come to mean something else."

"It boils down to this: most old-school computers do what they are told. They follow instructions given to them in the form of code. But if we want computers to solve more complex tasks, they need to do more than that. To be smarter, we are trying to train them how to learn in a way that imitates human behavior.

(Only humans are supposed to act human. There's your clue this isn't going to be allowed to stand.)

Computers cannot be taught to think for themselves, but they can be taught how to analyze information and draw inferences from patterns within datasets. And the more you give them – computer systems can now cope with truly vast amounts of information – the better they should get at it.

The most successful versions of machine learning in recent years have used a system known as a neural network, which is modelled at a very simple level on how we think a brain works."

(Again no, there's your clue this isn't going to end well.)

"Large-language models

This is one of the so-called neural networks. Large-language models are trained by pouring into them billions of words of everyday text, gathered from sources ranging from books to tweets and everything in between. The LLMs draw on all this material to predict words and sentences in certain sequences."

9The focus on language gives it away as well.)

"What is a chatbot?

A chatbot draws on the AI we have just been looking at with the large-language models. A chatbot is trained on a vast amount of information culled from the internet. It responds to text prompts with conversational-style responses."

"The most famous example is ChatGPT. It has been developed by OpenAI, a San Francisco-based company backed by Microsoft. Launched as a simple website in November last year, it rapidly became a sensation, reaching more than 100 million users within two months."

(The chatbot gives plausible-sounding – if sometimes inaccurate – answers to questions. It can also write poems, summarize lengthy documents and, to the alarm of teachers, draft essays."

(There's your deception.)

"Tell me more about how these chatbots work

The latest generation of chatbots, like ChatGPT, draw on astronomical amounts of material – pretty much the entire written output of humanity, or as much of it as their owners can acquire."

(More knowledge than any human could ever acquire. You just cant compete with this, and? Like mentioned above? 

They can give: "plausible-sounding – if sometimes inaccurate – answers." 

to a populace that already doesn't know what to believe. Sounds great right? What could ever go wrong?

("Do Not be deceived"...If we know whats coming? It's easier to prepare our hearts and minds for it. 

Promise.)

"Which brings us to growing concern about the amount of misinformation online – and how AI is being used to generate it."

(Like was mentioned above: "Do not be deceived.")

"Experts fear a wave of disinformation and scams as the technology becomes more widely available. Potential frauds include personalised phishing emails – which attempt to trick users into handing over data such as login details – produced at mass scale, and impersonations of friends or relatives."

“I strongly suspect there will soon be a deluge of deepfake videos, images, and audio, and unfortunately many of them will be in the context of scams,” says Noah Giansiracusa, an assistant professor of mathematical sciences at Bentley University in the US."

"Elon Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, has described the danger from AI as “much greater than the danger of nuclear warheads”, while Bill Gates has raised concerns about AI’s role in weapons systems. The Future of Life Institute, an organization researching existential threats to humanity, has warned of the potential for AI-powered swarms of killer drones, for instance."

"More prosaically, there are also concerns that unseen glitches in AI systems will lead to unforeseen crises in, for instance, financial trading."

(Count on it happening. Before it's all done? It will hack and control all the worlds financial networks.

Revelation 13:15-18

The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.)

"As a result of these fears, there are calls for a regulatory framework for AI, which is supported even by arch libertarians like Musk, whose main concern is not “short-term stuff” like improved weaponry but “digital super-intelligence”. Kai-Fu Lee, a former president of Google China and AI expert, told the Guardian that governments should take note of concerns among AI professionals about the military implications."

"He said: “Just as chemists spoke up about chemical weapons and biologists about biological weapons, I hope governments will start listening to AI scientists. It’s probably impossible to stop it altogether. But there should be some ways to at least reduce or minimise the most egregious uses.”

(We cant regulate anything else...(unfettered capitalism, corporatism etc), 

but were gonna regulate this genie that we've already let out of the bottle? 

China and Russia? 

They gonna abide by some future: 

"regulatory framework for AI"? 

Yeah...right...

It's kinda like suggesting 

that the last 16 times the fed intervened in things 

there was a recession 

but this time there's not going to be one,

Dont ya think?
