If AI scaling is to be shut down, let it be for a coherent reason
Am I the only one who&#x27;s not very concerned about ChatGPT and &quot;AI&quot; in general? I am young, but still lived through several hype phases. I remember when 3D TVs were going to be mainstream and 2D was considered legacy. I remember when PC was to die soon and to be replaced by smartphones. I remember when VR was to become as common accessory as a game controller. It&#x27;s 2023, and I still don&#x27;t have automated self driving car that can get me to work. At work I am still using the boring old keyboard and monitor. I am not using a VR headset to connect myself to shared office space inside of a metaverse. Oh and I don&#x27;t have to call my hairdresser for an appointment, because my phone will use artificial intelligence to do that for me (remember that? yeah it was 5 years already, where&#x27;s my magical AI tech).<p>I played with technologies like Stable Diffusion for a while. They are fun to use for a while, there are too many unsolved issues such as coherent style, stable style transfer for videos an despite my best effort every second image will have a human character with two heads or four arms.<p>I feel like ChatGPT is similar. It makes for a fun parlor trick, but when it gets things wrong, it gets them very wrong and it doesn&#x27;t let you easily know that it&#x27;s wrong. People are already plugging ChatGPT to anything from code to managing investments, it&#x27;s just a matter of time until it crashes and burns. We are just waiting for the first ChatGPT version of &quot;autonomous car rams pedestrian&quot;.<p>As for OpenAI, it&#x27;s in their best interest for people to be scared and governments to propose regulations. It further solidifies ChatGPT as a force to be reckoned with, even if it isn&#x27;t. They&#x27;re trying to sell it as AGI even though it isn&#x27;t anywhere near, but actions like this are helping to maintain that image.
