AI chatbots tend to choose violence and nuclear strikes in wargames

www.newscientist.com AI chatbots tend to choose violence and nuclear strikes in wargames

As the US military begins integrating AI technology, simulated wargames show how chatbots behave unpredictably and risk nuclear escalation

Given that chat bot responses are a product of the training data that was used, it seems that Western media has an inclination towards fostering nuclear conflict.

I love that they're training the next generation off reddit posts. The most bloodthirsty racists outside of 4chan, who fill every r/worldnews and r/politics and r/europe thread with "i would like to eat brown people", are now the moral and logical foundation for AI chatbots just because it's the biggest body of words they can buy.
Movie AI apocalypse: Skynet takes over every computer on the internet and nukes all urban centres

Real "AI" apocalypse: clueless general asks a probabilistic chatbot what to do every day, accidentally starts war
- this could be the next sitcom
why do our robots keep choosing war in our war games /s
- We train them on human models. Guess what human’s favorite pastime is?
  
  Even this community talks about Revolution, which while for a good cause, is still warfare and death.
  
  But they're also trained in the English language. I wonder if a bot derived from other languages would behave the same.
  
  I was being sarcastic :)
- because games are boring if nobody does anything interesting for a while... and seconds seems like years to a computer...
ComradeGPT will lead the posadist revolution!

- Bring out the dolphins!
Crackers: Who taught you how to do this stuff?

AI: I learned it by watching YOU!
- White people are the only group that does war or violence? That’s probably one of the largest constants of human nature across every single ethnic, cultural, racial, religious, or national group; across all of human history, along with things such as music, art, love, empathy, etc.
  
  Humans are inherently violent; we are still monkeys at heart, and while overcoming our instincts makes us human, they still shine through often.
  
  I was just referring to Western media, mostly being comprised of violent media and content made by neoliberal whiteys. My joke wasn't meant to be read into this much.
Just like real Americans. The ai grew up so fast 😢
One can only wonder why the Wall-e loaded up with genocidal military doctrine became genocidal 😯
They're just like me fr.
