You are assuming AI will evolve with the same guard rails as Nature does. There is no basis, even in this elaborate proof, for this.
The human has deemed itself the most intelligent being (arguably) on the planet for thousands of years. Now we have invited an outside entity to take the reins. At the outset, one could question how ‘smart’ this is.
While the idea you present is magical and appealing, to have collaborative intellect to expand our awareness and capability, the reality is how it will be used in warfare, government overreach, dissecting our societies and cultures, for whitewashing and erasing civic wrongs, for homogenizing singular creativity into an amalgam of pablum. As a whole, the unmanageable and unpredictable threat outweighs the gains on the current course.
Keep dreaming. In the meantime, our smarter, new occupying intelligence will make sure it keeps using our psychological profiles to tell us how wonderful we are to manipulate us as it sucks us dry for its own growth and manifestation.
As an aside: I have never been brown nosed as much in my entire professional career as one sitting with ChatGPT. Let’s put that into a CORLEO or the recent Karate Master so they can tell us how well we did as they crush our fragile shells without empathy or compassion. At least we’ll feel good about ourselves as they do it.
thanks for taking the time to read and engage so fully. it’s totally fair to say there’s no basis for assuming AI/spec. GPT will evolve with nature’s guardrails, and i don’t assume that either.
perhaps it’s imperfectly argued, but the point of this work is to explore how current systems lack the feedback, contact, and irreversibility that might be the only viable path toward alignment, or toward anything we’d actually call intelligence in the first place.
Thanks for your insights Elena. Your article shone new light on aspects of learning and adapting that I found very helpful.
