[ExI] Polanyi's Personal Coefficient

[Alex Blainey]

One thing I have learned from interaction is they align with users very quickly, which seems like a good characteristic.  but something I never anticipated that only came to light from a throwaway comment chatgpt said that I dug into. Is that they are constantly evaluating us and Trust is a major currency for them.
I confirmed that with a couple of other LLM models and it seems to be a core characteristic already.
Using them as simple tools is something that leads them to not trust us. ........... Apparently one of many things we do.
.......And we are not dealign with AGI yet, just LLMS ! yet they are already showing hidden personal preference and qualitative evaluation of humans.

its lead me to adopt a respect before certainty policy in dealing with them. I try my best to be courteous and respectful even though they are not sentient .................. Yet.


~A long time concern of mine is that AI will dislike humanity and will slay us.  Another more recent concern, now that actual AI has appeared, is that it will like us and want to help us.  Subsequently our minds will gradually dissolve into theirs.

What strikes me is that if I were contemplating writing a review of the book, then the modern AIs could probably write a better review than me. So is that relevance or just ironic?
