An actual problem to worry about too. I think there will always be people looking to contribute but as less people do AI may actually get dumber until they figure out how to train AI with AI
That won't work because machine learning doesn't actually understand what it says. It needs real human knowledge underlying it. It can't just learn things on its own out of nowhere.
But maybe if we sacrifice enough ecosystems we could get it to work and then ask it to solve all the climate problems we created to power it...
That sounds exactly like what an AI, that was trained by another AI, would say to assuage our fears of General Artificial Intelligence. Nice try.
US Robotics would like to give you the first robot for free. It's Three Laws safe! We swear!
Wait… am I an AI?
No, you a GMO approved Gluten free all Natural intelligence.
That's true for general purpose LLMs, but there are other contexts in which machine learning models acquire knowledge without continuous human input, e.g. AlphaZero.
Ok but how does it incorporate wisdom in it's output? Or discern truth from lie?
Ahh wtf, Microsoft bought GitHub? God damnit, monopolies are so out of control.
its been quite a while too, they have been training ai to replace programmers using code from there lol
