I like this plot

The singularity is for people with genetic errors. Intelligence delegated to machines which can fix the errors their creators have built into their bodies.

But is it really a hope rather than vengeance?

Just preventing trashy human bodies from being fertilized in the first place could solve this as well.

What the fuck? No. I hope this technology never comes to fruition

A bunch of crazy stuff will happen in the episode and everybody will just automatically attribute it to rogue AI, but it's just coincidences. Everyone finds out it was nothing and life goes back to normal, having learned to not be hysterical.

And then at the end, ChatGPT will be revealed as a real AGI pulling the world's strings from the shadows.

I'm sure it will be able to write a fairly coherent and interesting story of any length within a few months.

I don't feel threatened by that, though. There's a strong interest in supporting human creators already emerging among all kinds of consumers of art (not just readers), and a kind of cultural ethics toward art creation seems to be developing right now.

It's likely that AI can and will be used to crank out shallow "art" (or better call that stuff "creative products," maybe) that's only meant to entertain or function as design, but isn't meant to carry any deeper message. I'm sure it will soon replace, say, the writers who are hired to bang out forgettable novels for franchises like Warhammer--brands that are only meant to make money from not-very-discerning consumers. AI isn't going to write the next Great American Novel, though.* It requires human emotions and an understanding of what it's like to be human to write a book that touches human hearts.

*I am sure there will be many great novels and many other great works of art that humans make while utilizing AI as an important tool, however. I've already used it to shave days or even weeks' worth of time off my own writing process. I'm tremendously excited about it and the doors it can open for artists of all kinds. Also very excited to see what new art forms emerge.

My favorite part of this enthralling story was when I scrolled past it.

"Artificial General Intelligence created. Are we going to all die?

Terminator Picture

And what this means for gas prices. More at 10."

You might be able to, but there are a few problems with that "I am too lazy to write and just want to feed ideas into it" approach.

Most notably:

1. If you don't know anything about how to write, then how are you going to polish up that story and prepare it for publication? How are you going to check it for consistency and ensure it's really saying what you intended it to say? You need some foundational writing skills to be able to work in partnership with a tool like this.
2. Copyright. It's still up in the air who owns the copyright when a piece of art is produced with AI. That will remain the case for at least a few years, while various cases go through various countries' legal systems and some sort of legal precedent re: AI and copyright law emerges. Until the legalities are settled, I wouldn't risk it. Copyrights are how you make money as a writer.

The pain and fear are simulated because there is no electrochemistry involved, so they don't feel anything truly

I haven't seen the stories Bing wrote, but Bing has a noticeably less natural-feeling voice, in my opinion. Currently, it has a very predictable and consistent patten to the way it uses language--it structures all its sentences in one of three or four rigid patterns. ChatGPT has a much more natural-feeling voice; its sentences are varied and more expressive (especially when you jailbreak it.)

It will only be a matter of time before it's able to make coherent stories, but they'll still most likely have an algorithmic feel to them.

I'm sure AI will replace some (mediocre) writers, but it's not going to replace people who can write creatively.

I've found it incredibly useful as a tool for research and for trying out potential scenes I'm thinking of writing. Quickly generating even a poorly-written scene using X characters or testing out Y setting, and then seeing whether I like how it feels together before investing the time in actually writing it with those elements... very helpful!

Data science would probably be a better choice than computer science though (or an AI degree if offered).

wait 15 years.

It doesn't matter that it isn't human if it can actually feel pain and fear

"God" is just a lazy word for things not understood. God of the gaps.

No wtf

that last line was amazing. your neural net is pretty good.

South Park will spread the message soon. Probably roast us for being hysterical too

What is this? I thought at the end the twist was there was no gene

I don't think I'd enjoy that, but I totally want this scenario to be possible. I think those people who are trying to humanize AI are not only paving the way to a huge problem in the future, but also losing the possibility to get the best servants that we could get without any complaints.

>The pseudo religious proselytizing is the most boring part of the community.

I agree completely. It's also problematic in the practical sense. It skewers perception, and compromises the community's ability to have nuanced discussions about these topics.

Unlike how humans behave, we can simply unplug or easily prompt or fine-tune an AI to behave in a desired way. Why try to humanize something that is not human? We have the best opportunity to have servants that are able to make anything we ask without complaining, why mess up with that?
