If/when we actually achieve Artificial Intelligence, then maybe it would be a concern.
What we have today are LLMs which are big dumb parrots that just say things back to you that match a pattern. There is no actual intelligence.
Calling our current LLMs "Artificial Intelligence" is just marketing. LLMs have been possible for a while but until recently we just didn't have the processing power at the scale we have now.
Once everyone realizes they've been falling for a marketing campaign and that we're not very much closer to AI than we were before LLMs blew up, then LLMs will just become what they actually are: a tool that enhances human intelligence.
I could be wrong though. If so, I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords.
LLMs are a form of AI. They are just not AGI
I don't think we're any closer to AGI due to LLMs. If you take away all the marketing misdirection, to achieve AGI you would have to have artificial rational thought.
LLMs have no rational thought. They just don't. That's not how they're designed.
Again, I could be wrong. If so, I was always in support of the machines.
never said we did. Just that LLMs are included in the very broad definition that is "AI"
Tbf, the phrase “as the movies say”, makes it reasonable to assume that OP meant AGI. Not the broad definition of AI.
I mean, when is the last time you saw a movie about the dangers of the k-nearest neighbor algorithm?
