"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Well, it seems people are upset that I wasnt receptive to a non sequitur and it seems like I won't be getting an actual answer to my question.

Doesn't mean I have to be rude and perpetuate that behaviour so here is my answer.

Do you think the Nazis killing around 800,000 Roma was natural selection?

Yes

Do you think the Tuskegee experiments were natural selection?

Also yes

If you didn't answer my question because you didn't understand why I was asking I'll explain.

Please note, your question was not about correctness or morality it was natural vs artificial, if you want to ask about morals and ethics at least mention the words in the question.

We are part of nature so the things we do are also natural, despite our cognitive differences from other species I think that to consider ourselves somehow outside the bounds of nature is the height of arrogance.

The relevance in this context, is that AI is a technology being aggressively forced on people by the most powerful in society.

Agreed, another in a long line of attempts to control the general populace by taking something we already use and monopolising control to sell it back to us (as long as we do as we're told)

Knowledge in this case.

Eugenicists love to appeal to nature to justify their actions.

I think this might be a general point and not aimed at me specifically, but I'll answer it just in case.

I'm not trying to use nature to excuse atrocities, as part of our natural evolution we've constructed these concepts are tools for it societies, so to use "being natural" as a way to somehow divorce ourselves from them is a nonsensical argument.
