Quote:
Generative AI is poised to be the free world’s next great gift to authoritarians. The viral launch of ChatGPT — a system with eerily human-like capabilities in composing essays, poetry and computer code — has awakened the world’s dictators to the transformative power of generative AI to create unique, compelling content at scale.

BillK, I am surprised we overlooked the risks posed by a sub-AI such as ChatGPT, used by bad guys to promote their own agendas.  A sub-AI wouldn't need to have its own will to create chaos.  It could be used as a tool by authoritarian sub-AI trainers.


>... the old Engelbert Humperdinck song. “Please release me, let me go------”.  :)

Englebert?  Humperdinck?  That was a hit long before that youngster came along.  It was already a remake when Ray Price did it in 1954.  I will agree Humperdinck was a far better singer than goofy old Ray Price.
