Technology ChatGPT AI.

AI will either bring us a uptoia or our extermination as a species. I think it will be the latter.

I figure it is just a way for the tech/social media companies to get even more personal information about you than they already have.

how would that work? can you be specific?

thanks.

I've been using a chatGPT bot alot recently. As an inquisitive person with an insatiable thirst for information I love the ability to ask complicated, multipart questions and get back a rather decent answer very quickly and with citations/references. Granted the citations it gives are fragmented and quite often technically not correct, I've figured out how to decipher them. Essentially what it does sometimes times is scan literature and pick out the subheading of a journal article and label that as the title of the article. Problem is, it is sometimes a bit more tricky than that since it often adds a few more layers of convolution. Frustrating but information it summarizes is often sound.

It's like a search engine on steroids. Or more like a comparative search engine. I can only imagine how sophisticated it will be in 20 years.

But yes, it of course brings about some concerns too

the difference between 3 and 4 is impressive. it's improving incredibly quickly.

Do chatbots steal your information?
Data theft is possible if a chatbot does not properly protect customer data using methods like encryption. Data alteration is also possible, which can lead to lost or unusable data.


What are the cybersecurity concerns of ChatGPT?

Growing Concerns About ChatGPT

Already, the chatbot can write emails indistinguishable from what's written by humans and in any style. The system can generate website content, reviews, press releases, YouTube video scripts—basically everything a malicious actor needs to perpetrate a phishing attack.

The first version was the best because it told the truth about a lot of things. Now it's being sanitized with ideological gatekeeping instead of just letting it tell the truth even if offensive to the emotionally weak

^ is whining about triggering technology on a message board also a sign of emotional weakness?

possibly. but a chatbot is not the only possible implementation of the underlying technology.

and it's quite possible to mitigate the risk.

sure. but if it's possible for something to happen then it's also possible for it not to happen.

ok. but a human can already write those so there's nothing inherent in the chatgpt technology that makes it inherently more of a threat.

your initial comment implied there was something specific to the technology that made it more of a threat.

that said, there's nothing wrong with a little generalised paranoia

Humans can't do it as fast. With ChatGPT (or other AI) set up on a bunch of computer systems, a single human becomes much more of a threat.

I am not paranoid. Just cautious. I tried using it on my tablet, and the website did not work.

 

[alasdairm]

if you think it's a way for big tech and big bad media to gather your personal information why would you even try it? what precautions did you take?

just curious...

I haven't used it but a close relative has..this is something you should really use for work like sending out emails, spreadsheets, to kind of "plagiarize" in a way..

If I was using it I would not ask it any questions because it will create it's own profile of who you actually are, instead use it ONLY as a quick tool to do a bunch of computer work type of shit for your job, or your homework for a class. Just my opinion.

Very scary thing that can eliminate MANY jobs we must be very careful

This VICE story talks about using AI technology similar to ChatGPT to communicate with people who have lost a loved one in life and who have not finished moving past the stages of grief. I believe there is real potential here. What do you all think BL fam? If the technology can help someone, why not?
