If we ignore what they are calling "AI" then the consequences will be beneficial to all. So, yes, we'll live with those consequences.
Why the double quotes?
Because signal matching and manipulation is not intelligence unless you're willing to admit that is all you are capable of.
AI tools don't actively manipulate people. They're just confident about their answers as they should be.
I meant signal manipulation, but sure, that includes manipulating humans since we are just another signal input. That isn't a statement on values, just an objective description of how it works.
Because LLMs and similar generative “AI” tools aren't intelligent.
Nor, arguably, are they artificial, since the models are grown rather than built.
What is intelligence? Also, I think artificial refers to the fact that they don't have life.
Thanks.
