Because I don't believe AI can become "self-aware" (realize that "I am"), have biological drives, or (therefore) feel emotions, I'm not afraid of AI in the science fiction sense. The primary concern I have is the potential for AI to assume the role of providing life advice in situations such as mental health crises, or making binding decisions regarding hiring and firing, guilt and innocence, or giving AI instructions to enhance its capabilities and increase its indestructibility ("AI: please find a way to get around people trying to turn you off").
Yes, the automation aspect of AI coupled with AI's training in what are essentially deliberations and decisions, is a huge risk, even without the AI attaining human awareness.
James, have you used AI for any tasks, either professionally or for your own personal curiosity?
I've done work training AI on the front end, such as testing for accuracy and ensuring an appropriate conversational tone. I used image generation a time or two when I couldn't find a royalty-free image. Google's AI provides an answer before providing page results. Often I'm satisfied, but more often I double-check. Not interested in chat conversations at all.
I have used AI a lot over the past few weeks to help me get ready for our new curriculum next year. It is a lot easier to have ChatGPT find examples of participle phrases than me to scan a story. And I also use ChatGPT to help me get story ideas together for my DnD group.
I used to teach Frankenstein when I was teaching 12th grade English. Students were really into the changing perspective and had a lot to contribute to the themes that Shelly examines in the novel.
Just wait until an AI agent takes over teaching 12th-grade English, and winds up grading papers written by other AI agents. Bots, bots everywhere! 🤖 🤣 🤨
