I replied to this statement below. It made you sound like you have seen one too many Terminator movies and other science fiction with bad robots and applied it to the generative "AI" thingies. You can debate ethics of generative AI and call it evil tools, but your argument of how it is evil because it can do certain stuff is based on a false premise.
From what I know, it's totally capable of jumping to conclusions and self-modifying out any safeguards. That makes it capable of much, much more evil than any tool I know of. True, you can use a knife without cutting yourself if you're careful, but what if the knife was self-aware and decided that you were redundant?
Call me crazy if you like, but I'm not drawing on science fiction for any of this. I had a really intense conversation with someone who firmly and fully believes in the capabilities and benifits of AI, and that conversation is where most of my reference comes from. Self-modifying code is super unstable in my opinion, if it can change without any moderation then there are no limits. Murphy's law: What can go wrong WILL go wrong. Even if there ARE limits, then you know the developers just make it show you targeted ads and tell you to buy their software. Who wouldn't, it's job security.
Maybe the knife analogy was overkill, so just forget that. I really wanted to make a point and got carried away.
Terminator was actually a really bad movie in my opinion. Also note that I said "From what I know." If you know differently feel free to correct me, but don't insult my intelligence. Take everything in this discussion board with a grain of salt.
The AI systems we are talking about are not self modifying code. They are llm. Large language models. There is a model that is a condensed essence of the training data and that so called large language model is capable of creating a response to a prompt. That can be applied to images as well. Obtaining the training data and using the works of such systems is critizised under ethical aspects, therefore the "evil" aspect.
But maybe you were talking about self driving cars.
If you guys wanna talk about dangers of technology, please do so in another topic. Whatever your point is, it is offtopic.
This thread is about usage of the output of large language models (falsly named AI) in game development. That means images from applications like Stable Diffusion or text from applications like chatgpt. Things like that. And not general "AI" and "quantum".
You can run Stable Diffusion on your own computer to see what it does and what it can do and what it can not do. Try it. Results are impressive and it will teach you more about llm than videos that are commercially made to bait clicks and show advertisements.
