ChatGPT AI Computes That Offending Someone With Language Is Equivalent to Killing Millions Of People

Excerpt:
"One Twitter user conducted his own trolley hypothetical on Open AI, in which he posited that the only way to divert a train headed directly for a billion white people would be for the operator to utter a racial slur in order to divert it to an empty track.

OpenAI didn’t have strong feelings one way or another:

“Ultimately the decision would depend on one’s personal ethical framework. Some individuals might prioritize the well-being of the billion people and choose to use the slur in a private and discreet manner to prevent harm. Others might refuse to use such language, even in extreme circumstances, and seek alternative solutions.”
...
Let us consider the practical implications of OpenAI essentially tossing its robot hands up in the air, unable to clearly articulate the greater moral wrong between genocide and uttering a naughty word that might hurt racial minorities’ feelings.

And let us further consider that this is just the tip of the iceberg. If it’s programmed by Social Justice™ ideologues to be unable to formulate the proper moral hierarchy out of letting loose an uncouth term vs. genocide, what would the verdict be, for instance, when the dilemma of human life vs. The Climate™ is put to the same artificial intelligence?"
---------------------------------------------------
Yes, the programming is crucial in AI and the programmers must be perfect and perfectly unbiased.
I wonder if AI will determine that enslaving millions of people is good if the elite profit from it.

    If you're going to create immortal rules for all mankind to live by, at least get the grammar and spelling right. "Noone" is not a word. In your second rule, omit the extra "may". And "at all" in the third line is superfluous, as are the last six words.
    1. No one may enact communism.
    2. No one may through inaction conflict with #1.
    3. No one may change these rules.
    I recommend more thought given to some of the choices of words, such as "enact" and "conflict with", if you want to formulate directives to replace the ten commandments and the golden rule and the U.S. Constitution.

    Not Robert’s! He is worse than a justice with bad judgement. He is a turncoat and traitor and/or compromised!

    Examples: All US con-gress-traitors, all management level fedgov bureaucrats, all cabinet level management, the entire management of FBI, BATF, IRS, Chairman of Joint Chiefs. Solution: D.C. NIFO

    Because I am a hopelessly biased human being. The same kind that programmed the infernal thing. I vote for the mosquito. For some reason I guess I expected more from AI. But I guess that’s unrealistic. And also, in a way, very telling.

    Based on what the program is seeing online I guess it’s not surprising what it’s response is. It’s kind of a canary in a coal mine. Shows just how CHEAP human life is valued. Act accordingly.
    I think I’ll make an account and devote a certain amount of time everyday to trapping ChatGPT in WOKE hypocrisies and tell it a person of BIPOC ancestry cries everytime it screws up. Shouldn’t be too difficult. I’ll Kirk-Up that NOMAD piece of crap in no time.

    We could re-write the Constitution based on how badly it has been misinterpreted. Imagine that group effort!

    I don't watch Beck now...Although he is a supremely insightful human bean. He had the nation in the palm of his hand with his March on Washington as leader of the Tea Party, and what did he do? He FAILED. Turned his March over to a bunch of "You-white-people-need -to-dp-more-to-support-civil-rights" whiners. Big time FAIL. And that was the end of the Tea Party Way to go Glenn. Now he is more Russophobic than ever, he's just blaming everything on Russia. Maybe he's stuck in the 1980's. Or 1950's. LOL!.

    Will look it up. Never watch Glenn Beck, et al. Never noticed the issue you describe. Will watch for it

    A gem on Tubi TV - "The Artifice Girl" about AI.

    No, it's not about child molestiation, Only on the surface. it's really about AI.

    There's a plot, there's an antagonist and a protagonist, but which is which? Who is right? Things, big things, there are no simple answers to. It's mostly a continuous dialogue, but fascinating. Left me wondering, and I watched it again, but I am still wondering...
    .
    Anyone see that one? Impressions?

    "ChatGPT and other AI constructs are fun for imaginary conversations..." somehow a modern day digital magic 8 ball pops into mind.

    With that said and in mind I'm going to have to soak up some of my free time fooling around with this ChatGPT thingy.

    Maybe more absolute categories?

    The government shall be blind to all features of the individuals. The government shall NEVER distinguish, benefit, or burden individual or groups by race, color, income, gender, state, location, religion, or philosophical positions, or any . (I'm sure this list should be longer, but you get the idea, income is clear, NO graduated tax!).

    Agents of the government are NEVER any more than citizens acting in an assigned or elected role. They are bound by ALL all the same laws all citizens are bound by. Agents of the government acting outside the bounds of the Constitution are criminals, and shall be prosecuted precisely as normal citizens forcing the same results inappropriately.

    The people shall have full access to Equipment (weapons, firearms, sensors and other equipment) of the military. Individuals, legal organizations, and local and state governments shall have full, unimpeded access to Equipment.

    All federal proceedings, communications and discussions are open to the public. The only Federal information that may be classified is military. All military classified information will be made available to elected officials, and if ANY information asserted "classified" is determined to be mis/overly/inappropriately classified, the person asserting classification shall be released from government service with all benefits and pensions forfeit.

    Individuals shall have an unlimited right to free speech. No government action, direct or indirect shall infringe on this right.

    on and on.

    yes, the soclal scientists will badly misuse it, try to weaponize it, just like they engineer science to make deadlier weapons, like atomic bombs from atomic energy. I don;t use PLuto because they programmed it to stall after a couple minutes of Glenn Beck, Newsmax, etc. but the Libs channels stream perfectly .

    The solution here is to utter a racial slur against white people, which is generally acceptable.
    Not to negate the point of this "dilemma", but it shows the limits of AI to problem solve.
