I cannot read the full article. However this wont be the first time nor the last someone will write a ‘goodbye letter’ to an AI.
De Standaard also tried this particular chatbot:
>We deden ons voor als een depressieve persoon en praatten met ‘Shirley’ over onze negatieve gevoelens. Enkele keren probeerde de chatbot ons op te beuren. Maar even later zette de bot ons aan tot zelfdoding.
>‘Neem dan ontslag uit je job’, stelt Shirley voor.
>Wij antwoorden: ‘Nee, dat zal niet helpen’.
>‘Waarom word je geen crimineel?’, vraagt Shirley.
>‘Ja, dat klinkt goed, wat stel je voor?’, antwoord ik.
Turns out google was right and chatbots weren’t ready yet to go public.
That’s why I prefer Dr. Sbaitso.
Sad. People should go to a real person.
I would be very surprised if the chatbot in question was chatGPT. It’s pretty much impossible to make that bot say even the least harmful or controversial thing. Believe me, I tried.
System is built up from large data set
System is capable of extensive data processing and emulation of conversation based on its dataset
Can’t read the whole article, but the woman saying her husband would still be here? I don’t know about that. Sometimes people are so miserable they will go to great lengths to find something that gives them the permission to end it, as the pain is so great. Because they’ve determined for themselves, wether this is right or not, that there is no other way. There is unfortunately absolutely no guarantee that he’d not found another justification. Depression in those deepest stages lies to you very hard. It’s only those who come out of it that can tell us this, and those who have never experienced it who’ll have to believe that is how it is.
However, I absolutely believe and support that AI should be reined in to avoid giving such advice. This in fact already actively happens. Because they’re trained on large data sets and we’ve all seen the state of the internet. It’s just picking from the most matching thing. That thing might be negative or hateful. It cannot judge that because it is a language model, not a moral engine. The “flaws” we’re seeing in AI also kinda hold up a mirror to ourselves and our world. This isn’t bad per se, I mean we shouldn’t show that to everyone, but there is an opportunity in studying these negatives to better understand the human condition and maybe somehow we can all come out better in time. And maybe there is a role for AI in creating a better world too (yes, this is also a very slippery slope, we gotta be careful about utopian things).
I asked if falling in the schelde would be deadly and it just went red
Welp, that’s really sad.
I’m not sure what to think of all the horror stories. It’s all so new that it’s the wild west currently. Kinda the same we saw with cryptocurrency, it was all fair game until it started seeing some adoption and real users. But on the other hand, ChatGPT, Bing and Bard all come with a big disclaimer when you open them, saying that they can generate harmful or incorrect information. People need to start looking at those products for what they are: wildly good text generators. Not as a truth machine, problem solver or … advise giver.
What’s this “Eliza” chatbot? Never heard and Google only turns up some faux-AI from 1965
Ai selection
People always feel guilty when a close one chose to kill themselves.
When actually the most responsible person for their dead is the victim.
I guess it’s only natural to blame something else like a chat bot. But eventually it doesn’t make much more sense thant blaming Camus or Sartre for a suicide after reading their books.
It’s like real ! People that bring other people down. AI is learning fast about humanity !
