Trying to ban AI is like trying to ban math. Or staple Jello to a tree. It just doesn't work that way.
I mean that is an option. Much like banning nuclear weapons, it's easier said than done.
Believe me, I love debating laws and policy, but I'm 99% sure you're taking the piss and any discussion wouldn't be in good faith.
If you aren't just trolling, take a few minutes to read up on why the US (and every country with the capability) hasn't decided to dismantle their entire nuclear stockpile, or stopped research into nuclear weapons. If you don't have time, the 10,000 foot overview is no one wants to fall behind, if they do they they fear that they wouldn't be able to defend themselves against the same... AI is no different, tell the world to stop researching it and all you guarantee is that countries that don't listen to the global community will outpace the ones that "play fair".
Dude, you jumped from "theft" to murder in under 50 words, no need for the hostilities and it doesn't have the slightest thing to do with "AI porn" or answering writing prompts. While that can be a use of AI, its similar to the way you can use a pizza cutter to slice cheese if you want (even if that's not what it excels at).
In a digital age, the ability to train a model on a specific topic and use it to automatically iterate through an instruction set (while "learning" about outcomes outside of the original training material), can be the difference between thinking your infrastructure is secure or actually securing it.
LLMs have their use in the world, a lot more use than stuff like copyrights, patents, and trademarks. Ever wonder why you can easily get a cheap ripoff of patented goods? Its because not all countries follow the laws of other countries.
All that being said, you don't have to agree, it changes nothing and having opposing views actually makes the world a better place as it spurs discussion and thought. Thank you for being part of such a great community, and thank you for engaging with me and others!
Cool it kiddo.
If you say fuck you every time you hear an opinion you don't like then YOU are the problem
With all the abuse and technical problems it still has, there I definitely a place for LLMs and AI on this world where it improves lives.
Not that you would know that with your "FUCK YOU LLALALALALALA I CANNOT HEAR YOU" attitude
Weather predictions nusing AI were outpacing traditional models back in the 90s already. You can't trust them but they're a good backup.
AI can help with analyzing pet and mri scans to detect cancers and other problems. Again, AI being AI you can't 100% trust it but its a nice extra to point at possible issues.
Just two out of a shit tonne of actual applications that have shit to do with AI Facebook posts.
I see you've got some big feelings about this. Maybe try to express them without the hateful abusive language. Hope your day gets better!
You seem to know so much about me, simply from the observation that you can't "ban" an entire concept like that in the real world. Amazing!
So write a law against certain advanced mathematics. And prosecute anyone who uses advanced math. Best of luck with that. AI is math. You're demonstrating that you don't understand what the technology actually is or does by comparing algorithms to objectively immoral actions.
In real life, the cat does not go back into the bag. You can legislate behavior to shape society, to an extent. You can't legislate what kinds of math people are allowed to do, it's just not going to work.
You're not operating within the realm of reality, which is why people don't take you seriously.
I know, I know, go fuck myself, I'm an anti-human, not worthy of life, etc. I get it, you can spare me the reply.
Enjoy yourself bud.
That's just so wrong-headed. How else do you expect billionaires to monetize every aspect of our lives?
