[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8446173, member: 58172"] Henry Kissinger cowrote an article in the [URL='https://www.wsj.com/articles/being-human-artifical-intelligence-ai-chess-antibiotic-philosophy-ethics-bill-of-rights-11635795271']Wall Street Journal[/URL] about Artificial Intelligence. He mentions that the GPT-3 language model is now writing text that passes the Turing Test. (The research company OpenAI "trained" the language model on a supercomputer involving artificial neural networks. Microsoft licensed the GPT-3 model for Azure. The model is still in its formative stage, including sometimes "learning" the hatespeech from internet chats. But companies are investing heavily, and increasing its supercomputer power. It can write professional texts, like newspaper articles. Microsoft wants it to write computer code.) The point of Kissingers article is more about ... diplomacy. To paraphrase. Computer AI doesnt "think" the way that humans think. Therefore, reliance on computers changes the nature of reality itself, by placing inhuman computers in the center of decision making and truth. This decentering of humanity is an existential crisis. However, the article advises a middle way that avoids the extremes of either (slavish) "deferring to AI" or (luddite) "resisting it". The goal of human efforts is to shape AI with "the dignity and moral agency of humans". Meanwhile the White House wants a "bill of rights" to protect Americans in an "AI-powered world". [/QUOTE]
