They're very aware of that. I expect GPT-4 will improve on it, especially given the rumours about it being a big improvement over GPT-3/chatGPT. twitter.com/sama/status/160173129579241…

I am afraid that this will just lead down the path to what twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/status/17186541… was mocking. We're dictating solutions to today's threats, leaving tomorrow to its own devices. But what will tomorrow bring? As Sam Altman warns in twitter.com/sama/status/171697281596096…, superhuman persuasion is likely to be next. What does that mean? We've already had the problem of social media echo chambers leading to extremism, and online influencers creating cult-like followings. jonathanhaidt.substack.com/p/mental-hea…... is a sober warning about the dangers to mental health from this. These are connected humans accidentally persuading each other. Now imagine AI being able to drive that intentionally to a particular political end. Then remember that China controls TikTok. Will Biden's order keep China from developing that capability? Will we develop tools to identify how that might be being actively used against us? I doubt both. Instead, we'll almost certainly get security theater leading to a regulatory moat. Which is almost certain to help profit margins at established AI companies. But is unlikely to address the likely future problems that haven't materialized yet.
As a fellow believer in the equivalence of Bramhan and Atman, I can't help but think that the only ones amused by the current situation with AI are the Nondualists. Sama seems to be one of them [1]. So, I say to sama, be fearless and invent the future. After all, it's not something new, and in the end, everyone is destined for liberation. Let's enjoy the ride and see where it takes us!
