AI will increasingly train on its own hallucinated datasets, eventually becoming a techno-intellectual inbred. Remarkably, it'll still be smarter than many people.
If I lost control of a surveillance asset, I'm pounding the confirmation button for "Sure you want to delete?"
I read that in George Carlin's voice.
AI is trying to beat us at our own game.
The U.S. Navy showed interest in switching to SAP ERP back in 1998. More than a billion dollars later in customization, the Navy is still struggling to consolidate their financial systems under it. SAP: "you need to change your business processes to align with our software." The U.S. Navy: "we're not a generic commercial entity, so let's customize your software." ERP Contractors: "Sure, we can do that"... lol
Just give me autonomy and project ownership, please, and I will take full responsibility for deliverables. I will meet with the customer, hash out the requirements, design the architecture, manage the timelines, and write the code. But take your soul-sucking meetings and bureaucratic layers and SHOVE IT.

If my voice and likeness became a virtual A-Lister, while I was stuck waiting tables, I would probably lose it.
I would dress up as the character and make videos of me saying and doing HORRIBLE things.
Wi-Fi causes cancer and "leaky brain," Kennedy told podcaster Joe Rogan last month. Antidepressants are to blame for school shootings, he mused during an appearance with Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Chemicals in the water supply could turn children transgender, he told right-wing Canadian psychologist and podcaster Jordan Peterson, echoing a false assertion made by serial fabulist Alex Jones. AIDS may not be caused by HIV, he has suggested multiple times.

IOWs, imagine the hourly rate of OpenAI's legal team. Now imagine you, i.e., the end-user of ChatGPT, publishes something that gets OpenAI sued. Guess who gets the legal bill?
It's just going to tell them we're living in a statistical approximation of a universe, isn't it?
With a dash of confirmation bias from people who "worked on and led the development of some of the largest breakthroughs in the field including AlphaStar, AlphaCode, Inception, Minerva, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4"
