Title

Don’t be fooled by this summer of AI hype

One of the authors is one of the stochastic parrot authors.

Describing them as “superintelligence” or “rogue models” ascribes agency to products rather than to the companies building them. This framing markets these companies’ products as “superhuman” and, at the same time, helps the companies evade accountability for their actions.

If someone discovered how to summon demons to aid them in robbing banks the main issue wouldn't be "but who has the responibility for the crime, the human or the demon", it would be "OMG DEMONS".

Seriously, I don't get what sort of world these people are living in.

Yeah so tired of this. Stealing all our IP and it can't even write a line of code. I am quite special, it won't change my life, I am irreplaceable. These AIbros are lunatics. Last time I checked it couldn't even count the Rs!!!
