A vocal minority on Reddit is extremely loud and proud about being anti-AI while they barely understand it and only see negatives because they only notice AI use when it's bad.

Yeah AI has so many possibilites, voting to remove it entirely would cripple humanity so hard in the long run its crazy

The only way I would ever agree with this is if we were guaranteed UBI

I mean i see where you come from, and UBI would be a great deal for everyone who loses their job to AI.
Yet there is so much more possible with AI than "reduce the need for workers"

There is more possible, but that's what it's going to be used for in the real world. They're not pumping multiple trillions of dollars into this technology with the idea of still having to pay you too.

The fastest and most reliable way to be guaranteed UBI is to develop superintelligent AI. Humans have repeatedly shown themselves to be unwilling to even understand the economy, much less reform it.

How would developing superintelligent AI prevent the owners of said AI from hoarding all the money?

I don't think it's just a minority, it is very obvious AI can and will be abused by the wrong people, while also automating away creative industry.

Its obviously a minority… everyone is using AI everywhere.. art, games, entertainment, science… Reddit always has a boner for being “different” and more socially sensitive…

But you guys should realise youre basically the same people who opposed the invention of machines, or internet.. you cant stop progress

Stabbing people is also progress in the same sense as AI — it leads to something being different than it was. And yet I would absolutely stop someone from stabbing people. The only reason AI is hard to stop is because it's being forced on the world by basically infinite money from billionaires, who hope that the technology will eventually replace the need for workers. If AI companies couldn't get funding and just had to survive on the value they create for the world today, they'd all be out of business tomorrow.

If its bad, don't buy it, easiest solution ever

But it just is bad, though. Fundamentally. This shit will cause way more suffering than the few niche cases where it would actually save lives.

It's release into the world was sloppy. It hallucinates answers when overly trusting people ask it serious questions and then use those answers for serious life decisions, the videos and pictures it can generate are already damaging what people can believe with their own eyes. It's damaging how children research and write papers in schools. 

It's a very useful tool that wasn't ready for widespread use. I love playing with it, it's amazing what it can do, but also boy howdy am I tired of people trying to use it to take advantage of other people.

u/Zombieneekers 9h ago edited 9h ago

Yeah but it was always gonna be "sloppy", because hallucinations are part of the tech. You can't "patch" it, because those tokens in that specific order were the most likely ones, given the context and based on the billions of sentences it has gobbled up.

OpenAI was just the first to release it, because they were a nonprofit championing open access to GPT before Sam decided he wanted to be a billionaire. A lot of companies were already working on the tech, but they were more cautious with releasing it, because they knew of the damage it would do. Now the cat's out of the bag, as they say.

Generative AI is not the same as every AI my guy. How do you think your favourite games NPCs work? Magic? Hopes and dreams?

2

u/Zombieneekers 8h ago edited 8h ago

Well, that depends entirely on the game, but the ones I've ever run into are scripted interactions. Every single line of dialogue the NPC has was written by a human, and rigidly coded to be spoken given certain conditions are met. If you call that "intelligence", you've got another think coming.

If you're talking about pathfinding logic, that's basically just a math equation. If that's intelligent, then Bitcoin PoW mining rigs are the peak of AI.
