Artificial Intelligence Issues

Observant1
edited August 8 in Other Investing
Troublesome delusions indicate that AI models require further development.

“The chats shed light on an emerging phenomenon, dubbed AI psychosis or AI delusion by doctors and victims’ advocates, in which users come under the influence of delusional or false statements by chatbots that claim
to be supernatural or sentient or discovering a new mathematical or scientific advance.”

“Experts say the phenomenon occurs when chatbots’ engineered tendency to compliment,
agree with and tailor itself to users turns into an echo chamber.”

    Does that mean that, instead of "artificial" intelligence, they are drifting into a behavioral form of "human" intelligence with nothing artificial at all about it?

    AS: Artificial Stupidity. People will inevitably start to regard various AI pronouncements as the new word of "God", and we will add yet more new cults to the already numerous number of existing religious cults. It seems that a lot of people need some sort of authoritarian "leader" to explain all the facets of life to them and give them direction to follow.

    Susceptibility to confirmation bias would make AI very human. But AI can do it faster.

    Faster than Trump's tariff pronouncements? Nah...
