Reply to The steam engine changed the world. Artificial intelligence could destroy it. - The Boston Globe by GlobeOpinion
I wish headlines weren’t so sensationalist. AI will change society in multiple ways. It may change it in such a way that society may be unrecognizable in 150 years. But it won’t “destroy the world”.
At least, not until SkyNet becomes self-aware on August 29, 1997.

Good answer.
The only thing that I’ll point out are that AI do develop biases for reasons we don’t quite understand yet. It’s apparently incredibly difficult to look under the hood of a neural network and understand what data points (or lack thereof) are triggering these biases.
An example are facial recognition AIs struggling to identify unique black faces.
Another would be an AI program focused on college student admissions filtering out literal poor people from an admissions process.

Reply to comment by Ortus14 in Asked ChatGPT to write the best supplement stack for increasing intelligence by micahdjt1221
Isn’t ChatGPT more of a language simulator that doesn’t have any real knowledge of what it’s talking about?
IE it’s not trained in biology? Or history?
It’s seeks to understand what you’re asking, and can provide the best answer possible, (and it can craft creative answers with proper tone, etc) but it doesn’t really know what it’s talking about? Yet?
It sounds like it knows what it’s talking about, though.
