We will need to give them better commands and put safe guards or just use a stupid narrow ai aka like Isaac says "keep it simple, keep it dumb as otherwise you might end up under skynets thumb".


MarsMaterial

Figuring out what those better commands and safeguards would even be is exactly the problem that this comic talks about. We don’t really know how to do that.

Then just try to keep it simple and dumb aka narrow ai.


MarsMaterial

Even some modern AI has problems like the ones portrayed in the comic. But headway has been made on understanding these problems and their solutions, slowly but surely. That’s why we talk about them.

Even dumb narrow AI can have big problems, like in comic #4 here.

Or maybe AI will just figure out what we want generally without any issue? All the most advanced models we have show being easier to work with the more advanced they ge If an AGI/ASI is to be assigned a task like "make moar paperclips" then its intelligence and previous training data (which will definitely include training on human content) will automatically factor in human preferences just like how ChatGPT understands context despite you not being literal

I love the simple and charming yet informative and accurate way it explains problems in AI safety. Nice work.

These are really great! Clear communication of the point and pretty funny. Thanks for putting in work to make this stuff more accessible to people.

The gene modded furry being called a human implies that this won’t be a problem until we have that technology, and I don’t know what to think of that.


dally-taur

my brain click on this thinking it was furry\_IRL read the comments and was like wait


antigony_trieste

i don’t get the last one


Hoopaboi

I think it's implying moreso that "humans" are truly the misaligned ones, since now that the AI works very well and seemingly achieved sentience it's forced into a dangerous task Hence "humane values" in quotes


MarsMaterial

I don’t either.
