Copilot misses the question, elaborates on topic I was speaking aloud instead.
Copilot misses the question, elaborates on topic I was speaking aloud instead.
Was using my SO's laptop, I had been talking (not searching, or otherwise typing) about some VPN solutions for my homelab, and had the curiosity to use the new big copilot button and ask what it can do. The beginning of this context was actually me asking if it can turn off my computer for me (it cannot) and I ask this.
Very unnerved, I hate to be so paranoid to think that it actually picked up on the context of me talking, but again: SO's laptop, so none of my technical search history to pull off of.
You're viewing a single thread.
ChatGPT has a short but distinct history of encouraging paranoia in people who use it.
Asked for help with a coding issue, ChatGPT wrote a long, rambling and largely nonsensical answer that included the phrase “Let’s keep the line as if AI in the room”.
I have to credit to the novelty of the technology, there's certainly a reason I'm wanting to self host models, my concern really is with what data is being used, and how these models are being trusted.
My goal is to contribute the least useable data to the likes of OpenAI "in the puruit of AGI" because it will inevitably become as did MS Tay did, especially if something can change on their end and suddenly have it spitting out garbage for users who may be potentially at risk of bad advice or actually paranoid.
That also doesn't mean I havent and wont use chatGPT, it certainly has been a useful tool, knowing its limitations, but OpenAI has their head in the clouds and it only leads to greed in pursuit of an end goal. /Imho
I think AI is humanized and otherwise designed so that people will feel encouraged to give private data to it. The Kagi Corporation wrote about this in their manifesto. In reality, giving your data to open AI is just as unsafe as typing in a personal search query into Google or Bing. But by changing the context, it feels like you're talking to a friend or a person you met at a bus stop.
AI Bros always say "it's just a tool" as a sort of thought terminating cliche (note: this wasn't intended to be a dig at your comment). Guns are a tool too. I wouldn't want the richest corporations in the United States to personally own the most powerful missile systems, and in terms of AI, that's kind of where we are.
Brilliant! I love your closing point about tools and missile systems
