- rbanffy 1y agoGreat idea. Let me train a model for that purpose. I guarantee it will be fair and wise.
- DeonRob 1y agoIt has to be more fair and wise and logically consistent than a human. With no kids, food or desires there no reason for it to get desperate and screw people over
- duxup 1y ago>It has to be Why is that? LLMs aren't magically reasonable, nor are they even intelligent. They just do word math and output strings of text...
- DeonRob 1y agoYeah, but you don’t actually want intelligence — you want consistency. And LLMs are great at giving you the next word or phrase based on the probability that you truly believe a prompt and its context. Which is exactly what you want. It’s like if you ask a group of five people what they want to eat, knowing they’re all vegans. If you wanted a fair decision-maker, you’d hope they pick something close — vegan and good. An AI will always give that answer in a boring and predictable way. But a human might take outside context into account or selfishly pick a non-vegan restaurant — not because it’s consistent, but due to any number of random outside factors.
- Zigurd 1y agoAn LLM might very well pick undesirable outcomes because all it's doing is remixing human knowledge which has led to plenty of undesirable outcomes. LLM powered governance seems like a janky version of luxury communism.
- DeonRob 1y agoIssue is "might" is better than the guaranteed corruption of socialist system at scale. You can adjust the AI, humans we know are to flawed to lead a altruistic movement or make constant selfless decisions
- Zigurd 1y agoDebatable. E.g. "MechaHitler."
- rbanffy 1y agoBut, people, I guaranteed fairness and wisdom. Just trust my model, OK? It's for your own good. I give you my word.
