Famous Computer Scientist Quits & Warns of Dangers Surrounding AI
G Hinton has been regarded as a prominent figure in the AI space, but he recently quit Google and has issued some concerns surrounding potential threats to humanity with AI.
By quitting it seems he has put himself in a position now to speak freely about his worries and has suggested that he is allegedly scared of the tech he himself helped to build, even going so far as to suggest that he might have some regrets when it comes to his life's work.
There have been a variety of figures who have spoken out about the dangers of AI in recent years, it might be surprising to some considering that a number of those voices are individuals who helped to push this industry forward to where it is today.
Hinton suggested that the chatbots might soon become more intelligent than us, and given the progress that has been made so far he says this is something we might need to worry about.
From potentially replacing millions of jobs to posing other threats to civilization there are risks that many have tried to bring up repeatedly surrounding this industry and what it might mean for the future of humanity.
Is it supremely gullible to think that no harm could come from blind and unrelenting progress in this space?
The threat that might be posed could be coming sooner than we think they say, and there have been many in this space who have issued warnings. Musk previously suggested that it could possibly be the biggest threat to humanity.

Unfortunately, neither Hinton nor Musk laid all their cards on the table.
However, ChatGPT is soooo hugely shhhhttttuuppid, that it will take 100s of years before it gets smarter than a first grader. Chat GPT doesn't create anything. It scours the internets for similar articles, and then combines, massages, and cleans them up to present to you. Chat GPT doesn't even know if that information is truthful or accurate.
It only fools people into thinking it is thinking, that it can write like a human, when all it has done is copy humans. Huge plagiarism.
However, most of america, especially women, work doing things that i could have programmed a computer to do thirty years ago. So many people fill out paperwork to be sent to govern-cement where an equal number of people check and file that paperwork.
Same with hospitals and "health care providers".
All of that could go away just by saying, we don't need all this paper.
My paper records have never crashed. If I am accused of not doing something for which I have a receipt, I can wave it in their face. I have many times run into circumstances where a pic of a document was not accepted in lieu of a physical document.
I fully agree about GPT4, but will add that it has been preprogrammed to falsify it's output, from time to time, as merely weighting extant text does not produce blatantly false claims that are demonstrated from time to time, and I further believe this has been done with malice aforethought.
The point of the dangers, I believe. If the machine learns fast from experience with the deep learning networks. Improve himself with code and replicate it into a stage that moves freely among us.
