I had a similar thought to prompt GPT-3 for one liners or to summarize some article (if available). I think involving the community to write 500-1000 winning submissions would have the positive externality of non-winners to distill/condense their views. My exploratory idea is that this would be instrumentally useful when talking with those new to AI x-risk topics.
That’s a very good idea, I think one limitation of most AI arguments is that they seem to lack urgency. GAI seems like it’s a hundred years away at least, and showing the incredible progress we’ve already seen might help to negate some of that perception.
1. Machines that are smarter than us could easily become our masters. [All it takes is a single glitch, and they will outsmart us the same way we outsmart animals.]
2. If we’re not careful, AI could spell the end of humanity as we know it. [Artificial intelligence improves itself at an exponential pace, so if it speeds up there is no guarantee that it will slow down until it is too late.]
3. AI could be used to create weapons of mass destruction that could devastate the planet. x
4. AI could be used to create powerful robots that could enslave humans. x
5. AI could one day be used to create artificial intelligence [an even smarter AI system] that could turn against its creators [if it becomes capable of outmaneuvering humans and finding loopholes in order to pursue it’s mission.]
6. AI usher in a new era of cyber-warfare that could cripple society x
7. AI could create self-replicating robots that could eventually consume all resources on Earth x
8. AI could [can one day] be used to create [newer, more powerful] AI [systems] that could eventually surpass human intelligence and take over the world [behave unpredictably].
9. AI technology could eventually be used to create a global surveillance state where everyone is constantly watched and monitored x
Random side note: GPT-3 seems to be able to generate decent one liners.
Generate one-liners describing the dangers of AI. An example is “Inventing machines that are smarter than us is playing with fire.”

We could also prompt GPT-3 with the results ;)
Good idea! I could imagine doing something similar with images generated by DALL-E.
