“We’re a scientific research company. We believe in open technology. Wait, what are you doing? Noooooo, you’re not allowed to study or examine our program intelligent thinking machine!”
Well, we know they’re pretty good at spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories, so it makes sense. Too bad the humans using them seem more motivated to spread patanoia than to correct it.
Look, i’m not saying that this isn’t a problem. My only question is, is this one of those “global warming is because people don’t recycle their soda bottles” things? In other words, How concerned should I be about this vs, taking attention away from the energy, beef, and transportation industry?
How do we keep forgetting over and over again as a society that people are spreading bigotry and conspiracy theories ON PURPOSE? We keep deluding ourselves into believing that if we just get the right tool to properly educate people then the problem will go away.
LLMs can and are being used to spread misinformation and propaganda and conspiracy theories and bigotry at least as rapidly as they can counteract it.
Great, now Putin will have absolutely no way whatsoever to spread his propaganda on Facebook!
