Reply to comment by Additional-Escape498 in [D] To the ML researchers and practitioners here, do you worry about AI safety/alignment of the type Eliezer Yudkowsky describes? by SchmidhuberDidIt

What freaks me out the most are the social ramifications of AIs that pass as humans to the majority of people. We're still figuring out how to healthily interact with social media and soon we're going to be interacting with entirely artificial content that we're gonna anthropomorphize onto other humans. In the US we're dealing with a crisis of trust and authenticity, I can't imagine generative text models are going to help with that.

Yes, it's worse than this too. We usually associate well-written text with accurate information. That's because, generally speaking, most people who write well are highly educated and have been taught to be critical of their own writing.

Text generated by large language models is atypical in that it's written like an expert but is not critical of its own ideas. We now have an unlimited amount of well-written, poor-quality information, and this is going to cause real problems.

Appreciate it! Articulation isn't a strong suit of mine but I guess a broken clock is right twice a day
