ChatGPT cooks up fake sexual harassment scandal and names real law professor as accused
OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT falsely accused an American law professor by including him in a generated list of legal scholars who had sexually harassed someone, citing a non-existent The Washington Post report.
In an opinion piece published in USA Today, professor Jonathan Turley from George Washington University wrote that he was falsely accused by ChatGPT of assaulting students on a trip he “never took” while working at a school he “never taught at”.
“It is only the latest cautionary tale on how artificial ‘artificial intelligence’ can be,” he said on Monday, highlighting some of the accuracy and reliability issues with AI chatbots like ChatGPT.
As part of a study, a lawyer had reportedly asked ChatGPT to generate a list of legal scholars who had committed sexual harassment.

Reposting because I wasn't sure which was the best thread.

Triston Harris and others give a really solid current assessment of AI capabilities and the vulnerabilities which society will experience as a results of these advancements if we don't move to cover these issues as fast as possible. Seriously worth the listen, these guys connect with AI engineers on the front lines, and talk about issues that the average person probably hasn't considered.

&Walsh has been using AI art generation to help Brazilian model and influencer Isodope promote nuclear power. We chat with founder Jessica Walsh about her passion for the project and why creatives shouldn't hate on DALLE.
The spike in energy costs resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine has focused our attention on what we've already known for some time. Namely, in order to address the climate crisis, we need to make some hard decisions on how we generate energy.
The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has consistently recommended that carbon-free nuclear power needs to be part of our future energy mix. But given that the modern environmental movement was largely born out of the anti-nuclear protests that followed the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, that's been a bitter pill for many to swallow.
- oh well, this is pathetically crappy

there are incredible risks involved in

sorry PhanLo, he posted an update to that video.
- He seems even more up for it. Just not censoring new things. I know loads of female photographers who get shadow banned on Insta because of beauty standards,PhanLo
- they make challenging work, but it isn't women in thongs so they get algorithmed out of the timeline. I sometimes feel uneasy looking at what they make, whichPhanLo
- is so rare these days, to actually be challenged by artwork. Loads of artists I know have pretty much selfied themselves into boring mediocre shitPhanLo

Just had a funny experience with ChatGPT
I remember reading a story about a tribe who worships a leader who is blind, castrated, armless, legless, and is kept in a cave and exhibited to the people only on special occasions.
I could not remember where I've read it or who is the author. Couldn't find it on Google. Decided to ask ChatGPT
ChatGPT immediately suggested it's "The Theologians" by Jorge Luis Borges. That was easy. I found the story online and it's only a few pages long. I read thought it and realize this is not it
I ask ChatGPT for a direct quote. It spits out a quote from "The Theologians" by Jorge Luis Borges about a blind, armless man etc. I google some pieces in verbatim mode -- nothing
I confront ChatGPT about this. ChatGPT is very sorry, it's not "The Theologians". The story in question is "The Sect of the Phoenix" by the same author. Again I skim through this other story -- its about something else
I ask ChatGPT for the link, it gives me a link which of course does not work *spits*
This is how long it took me to realize what I already knew anyway -- ChatGPT hallucinates from the beginning to end. It can never answer "I don't know"

The on-going argument I've been having with my best pal about all this - and I guess to oblivious arrogant pricks like grafician who think they're positioned to gatekeep this shit because they have no capacity for nuance or subtlety, so polarise their interpretation of others interest in the domain in their favour (and because they read two articles on the sibject on Hacker News yesterday and are now Expert-Level™) - is that this doesn't need to get anywhere near AGI levels to begin to cause profound societal trouble. Nowhere near. At all.
We're probably a [human] generation or three away from actual AGI as feared from sci-fi tropes, but all we need now are simulacra that can generally pass Turing tests or whatever contemporary equivalents could be mustered, and so can sow discord in their own way. As directed by whoever decides to.
Think of it as 'Russian political meddling on amphetamine and lightning'.
Never mind the slew of contemporarily somewhat useless from a productivity-persepective but essential from a societal-perspective jobs that could be nixed within the next couple of years, possibly literally.
English loom workers of yore at least had a generation to realise they needed to start breaking machines before they could re-skill. No such luxury today.

Which is to say, yes we get it graf - it's not actual fucking ai, it's clever algorithms refined on mind-bogglingly large datasets. it's just that everyone calls it AI. We're older than you - we also had people imoplying that fuzzy logic in washing machines in the 90s was 'intelligent'. Actually, your arrogance tells us more about your ignorance than anything else.
- Turn off the computer and non of this AI stuff exists. It's so nice to walk through nature and smell the plants hear the birds. Fuck AI + computer's.shapesalad

Italian privacy regulator bans ChatGPT
Calls have grown to suspend new releases of popular AI tool.The Italian privacy regulator Friday ordered a ban on ChatGPT over alleged privacy violations.
The national data protection authority said it will immediately block and investigate OpenAI, the U.S. company behind the popular artificial intelligence tool, from processing the data of Italian users. The order is temporary until the company respects the EU's landmark privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
- Bans how? Italians can't access the site?drgs
- They don't ban it as such, just that in Italy they tie the AI's hands behind its back so it can't do any real harm.Nairn
- It's this like the EU not letting apps spy on people?
Thank god for Brexit!palimpsest

Me: "Do aesthetics always need to be about the retinal? What about the concept of an elderly obese woman sitting on the back of a Cadillac breastfeeding a Chihuahua?"
ChatGPT: "Aesthetics do not necessarily have to be solely about the visual or retinal experience. Aesthetics can also involve sensory experiences beyond sight, such as touch, taste, and sound, as well as concepts and ideas.
The example you provided of an elderly obese woman sitting on the back of a Cadillac breastfeeding a Chihuahua challenges traditional notions of beauty and aesthetics. However, it can still be considered aesthetically interesting and thought-provoking because it creates an unexpected and unconventional juxtaposition of elements that can evoke different emotions and interpretations.
Aesthetics is not limited to conventional beauty or visual appeal, but can encompass a wide range of experiences and interpretations that engage our senses and emotions. Ultimately, the interpretation of what is aesthetically pleasing or interesting is subjective and depends on individual preferences and cultural context."

"As an artificial intelligence language model, I only respond to user inputs that are provided to me. I don't have any independent thoughts or actions of my own, and I don't have consciousness or any internal experiences. My responses are generated by processing the input text and providing the most appropriate response based on the patterns and correlations I have learned from the vast amount of data I was trained on.
My ability to understand and generate human language is the result of a complex combination of statistical learning, natural language processing algorithms, and deep learning techniques. While this can appear to be intelligent behavior, it is important to note that I do not have consciousness, emotions, or subjective experiences like humans do. Rather, my responses are generated by processing and analyzing the input text, without any understanding or awareness of the content or context beyond the language itself."

- As far as I can count, ChatGPT said the same thing four different ways.Continuity
- Now, ask GPT if it's governed by Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, plus Zeroth Law.Continuity
- ChatGPT has access to knowledge which is verbalizable. The vast majority of human skills, experiences, are exactly this -- difficult to put into words.drgs
- Like have a certain intuition about physics, how fluids behave etc. Yann LeCun has a lecture on how sensory grounding is needed for full meaning and undrstdngdrgs
- Thanks, I'll look for it. In the "converstation" I was having with it. I also asked it to describe a smell.palimpsest
- I then argued that the experience of how it got that info was irrelevant and we both could hold the same concept of smell.palimpsest
- But it's not really about the experience of the smell it's about how that information is connected and put into context with other information we humans hold.palimpsest
- While AI has a linear approach to accessing information. It doesn't make all the (unconscious) connections we make when accessing a piece of data.palimpsest
- Bald statements coming from Continuity lol
Bro these are language models theres no Asimov's Laws applied to this shit :))))

"You raise a valid point that the potential risks and downsides associated with AI often stem from human decision-making and actions, rather than from any inherent flaws in the technology itself. Just as humans can misuse and abuse the vast amounts of information available on the internet, we can also use AI systems in ways that are harmful, biased, or unethical.
One of the challenges with AI is that it can often operate on a level that is beyond our conscious awareness, which can make it difficult to monitor and regulate its use effectively. In addition, the algorithms and models used in AI are often based on large datasets that may contain biases or inaccuracies, which can lead to unfair or harmful outcomes if those biases are not identified and corrected.
At the same time, I do believe that AI has the potential to be a powerful force for good, and that with careful oversight and responsible decision-making, we can develop AI systems that are fair, transparent, and beneficial for all. This will require ongoing collaboration and dialogue between experts in AI, policymakers, and the public, as well as a commitment to ethical and responsible use of this technology."
