Bing’s adventures last week show that an AI with a search engine can jump to conclusions about a person, and even become more hostile when those conclusions are challenged. Now imagine something like that in charge of a no-fly list or a social credit score!
Fuck, China is totally going to do this really soon, isn’t it. They already have their horrible social credit system, and zero concerns about racial bias or innocents being fucked over, plus a huge population they are struggling to manage, massive surveillance, and their approach to AI has always targeted quantity over quality.
Valid tbh! As stated in the post, I know this anxiety of mine is irrational, and I think it’s the virtuous thing to be open about my own irrationality when I notice it. Obvious would be even better if I didn’t feel that anxiety in the first place, but my brain will do what my brain does, I guess…
I think voicing the anxiety was brave and virtuous.
I don’t think I am remotely as affected as you are, but I think this is likely to affect many of us, myself included, at a smaller scale. I do not think I stop myself from posting critical content—but I do think I am a lot more careful as to whether I am being fair in my criticism than I would otherwise be, and that alone may make my criticism milder than it should be. And any degree of self-censoring is harmful. Getting it out in the open might be a good strategy for sitting with the feeling and getting past it.
I am way more likely to make fun of you for posting stuff like this than any AI ever will.
epistemic status: lmao
