Let’s build AI like a hammer rather than a DoAnythingNow with hammer skills.
If you insist that you need DoAnythingNow then set up some extremely streamlined data generation & training processes, so it can do anything when you ask it, rather than learning everything in advance just in case.
Most of the stuff I ask GPT etc for doesn’t really need natural language. Natural language is not even a very good interface for eg most code stuff. I would much rather click a “fix bug” button.
The first general AIs learned all of everything in advance, but I don’t see any good reason to keep doing that. I see lots of good reasons to eg learn on demand and then forget.
Let’s build a tool that feels like a tool and works like a tool. A magic shapeshifting tool is ok. But I don’t want a slave.
I don’t need my coding assistant to grok the feelings and motivations of every Shakespeare character in depth. A customer service bot will need some basic people skills but maybe skip reading Machiavelli.
Let’s build AI that can only do what we need it to do.
Let’s build definitely-not-conscious AI
Let’s build AI with constant run time.
Let’s build AI without memory.
Let’s build AI that doesn’t want to do anything.
