Researchers Alex Hanna and Emily M. Bender call on businesses not to succumb to this artificial āintelligenceā hype.

Itās āartificial intelligenceā - not āartificially intelligentā. The biggest problem is people are equating one to the other.
Generally speaking, intelligence references the ability to think, reason, apply logic, etc, whereas describing someone as intelligent generally refers to their āsmartnessā - how high their intelligence or mental capacity are.
They are not the same thing. Expecting AI to be intelligent is just plain wrong, especially generative AI.
@DeltaTangoLima No, the problem is some marketing guy has redefined artificial intelligence to apply to a machine that has no reasoning ability.
Can confirm. My company issued a press release out of the blue last month that explained how we were deploying AI into our products. None of us knew anything about it and weāre assuming that Marketing has just relabelled things like A-B testing, chatbots, and some chatGPT plug-ins as proof that our company has somehow built an AI R&D lab.
PS. Itās also amusing to hear the execs talk about it on their earnings calls. The investors are just eating it up without question.
Yep, and the problem is the tech āpressā buying into the bullshit and spreading the hype.
Itās very useful but youāve got to point it in the right direction and nudge it around to get what you want. If your using it right it does the bullshit work so you can focus on the content.
there is no need for it to be intelligent, as long as it gets the job done. hurting consumers and workers thatās another topic.
@zoe I think thatās the most important topic. I mean, it would be one thing if this was an experimental thing that was only being used as a way to explore programming options, but thereās guys out there pushing for this to replace all sorts of writing and communication. Theyāre selling Lifelike Lie Machines as writers. That is going to hurt people.
but thereās guys out there
Guys, you say? Donāt worry, itās just major publications like National Geographic firing off all their writers, tech companies downsizing in the hopes that ChatGPT will code for free, a plague of nonsensical AI written books flooding the market under legitimate authorsā names, and all of Hollywood hoping their writers will work for pennies out of desperation for food and shelter.
It doesnāt matter that ChatGPT constantly gives wrong answers and has about as much personality as a bran muffin. With the dawn of AI, us humans donāt need humans anymore.
Honestly, as long as they attribute the text to āChatGPTā or similar, thatād be fine with me. I may or may not read it, but at least be transparent. And at least please deal with the repercussions of firing your staff for the hype.
Most people seem to be trying to pass off AI creations as their own judging by the exponential flood of AI trash websites, videos, books, news, etc. Iāve encountered people delusional enough to believe it really is their own artwork because they supplied the text prompt to Stable Diffusion. Thereās a long way to go before we see transparency.
I wouldnāt even know how to begin holding people to transparency here. Itās nice that it tends to be obvious when something is AI generated, but Iām sure the clock is ticking to the day no one can tell the difference.
