Via LiLaBi kam gerade eine Veranstaltungsankündigung rein, über die ich mich sehr freue:

Zerstörerischer KI-Bullshit – Warum ChatGPT mit den „sozialen“ Medien als Resonanzraum Rechtsextremismus befördert und Ungleichheit vergrößert

Wann? 3. März 2025, 20:00 Uhr
Wo? Extra Blues Bar, Kreuzstraße 6, 33602 Bielefeld

#Capulcu ist ein Kollektiv, das mir für hochwertige Broschüren zum Thema #digitaleSelbstverteidigung bekannt ist. Jetzt haben sie sich des KI-Hypes angenommen:

Band VI – Debunk – Kritik an KI

Inhalt der Broschüre:

1. Die Goldgräber der Künstlichen Intelligenz
2. Klima: Das grüne Vehikel für die KI-Offensive
3. ChatGPT als Hegemonieverstärker
4. Chipproduktion in der Multikrise – Die materielle Seite künstlicher Intelligenz

My partner regularly receives similar Request For Proposals (RFP), so she created template responses that she validated with Legal in order to speed up the processing of RFP forms. Now her boss is suggesting her to use a custom ChatGPT integration fed with these template responses in order to ask the chatbot to regurgitate them later, in a form that needs to be vetted by Legal again, before filling in the same RFP forms. In order to "improve efficiency".

Now, I do get why unscrupulous bosses want to use AI to commodify intellectual work. I despise it, but I get it, it makes sense to me, even if every fiber of my being is against it. On the other hand, I don't understand this particular use other than ChatGPT being a hammer and everything is made into nails. This leads me to believe that the core market of OpenAI is simply stupid people wooed by a chatbot that sounds smarter than they are. It's brilliant, the scaling potential is infinite!

My problem with AI isn't the people who use it purposefully and meaningfully, but the people who sell it as a all-in-one tool which it isn't, cannot be and will never be.

Case in point: there were absolutely no malicious intent in the situation described in this post, and yet the AI user didn't have control over the output and it was a very bad surprise for the person in question.

In further evidence of the very concept of intellectualism crumbling before our eyes, Geoffrey Hinton has been awarded a #NobelPrize in .... #Physics.

Hinton is a key purveyor of the #ExistentialThreats of #AI, AKA the #Singularity. Absolutely bonkers.

"Use of GitHub Copilot... introduced 41% more bugs"

Is ANYONE surprised?

"[...] almost everything that people like Altman and Musk and Kurzweil are currently saying about AGI being nigh seems like sheer fantasy, on par with imagining that really tall ladders will soon make it to the moon."

On #StochasticParrots:

"Inside the AI world, the criticism is typically dismissed with a hand wave. When I spoke to Sam Altman last year, he sounded almost surprised to be hearing such an outdated critique. “Is that still a widely held view? I mean is that considered – are there still a lot of serious people who think that way,” he asked."

What a condescending conman.

a hyped hype stays a hyped hype as long and only as long one buys into the hyped hype

or in other words, every bubble will burst sooner or later

especially with ever piling evidence that the hyped hype fails to deliver

authentic consistent messages are important,

for that reason, it's impossible to warn people / employees to vote for right wing parties and at the same time to endorse #salami technology, a.k.a. #ai #agi

#StochasticParrots are very much biased and do promote poisonous content right wing parties use or are even based on

#Democracy is human centered,
all human, not only minor fractions of society, #Democracy is for all, no matter what

Haben sich #mastodon #fediverse Instanzbetreiber eigentlich schon über #KI generierte Inhalte Gedanken gemacht? - Ich meine deren Regulierung, z. B. Kennzeichnung von generierten Bildern, Audio, Texten etc. ? #fediadmin #Rules #fedi #AI #stochasticparrots
