I must confess to getting a little sick of seeing the endless stream of articles about this (along with the season finale of Succession and the debt ceiling), but what do you folks think? Is this something we should all be worrying about, or is it overblown?
EDIT: have a look at this: https://beehaw.org/post/422907
A lot of the fearmongering surrounding AI, especially LLMs like GPT, is very poorly directed.
People with a vested interest in LLM (i.e shareholders) play into the idea that we’re months away from the AI singularity, because it generates hype for their technology.
In my opinion, a much more real and immediate risk of the widespread use of ChatGPT, for example, is that people believe what it says. ChatGPT and other LLMs are bullshitters - they give you an answer that sounds correct, without ever checking whether it is correct.
