Emulating Pokemon Emerald on GPT-4
I can’t understand people who are so excited about GPT. It fills me with absolute dread, and if I could vote to make it illegal, I would.In a world where human intellect becomes meaningless, nobody can predict what will happen next, and a lot of the possibilities are not good. Does anyone want to live in a world where all books, art, etc. are produced by machines, where you can’t get a job tinkering with computers anymore because AI does it better, and so on? The optimistic case for AGI is that if nobody had to work they could spend their time on hobbies and creative passions, but what’s the point when an AI can do them better than any human can?Previous machines only replaced humans at tasks that are tedious and boring, whereas the new crop of AIs seems poised to replace us at the very things that make us human.Not to claim that GPT-4 is all the way there but it’s surely a huge step forward, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we live in such a world in the next decade.
