A new paper by @AriTubert and me in Phil Studies on AI safety: “Existentialist Risk and Value Misalignment.” The main idea is that a capacity for misaligning your own values across time is essential to human intelligence. But then… link.springer.com/epdf/10.10…

We should be very cautious when using detectors to classify if text is written by #AI or human. We find these detectors classify >50% of real text by non-native English speakers as AI-generated. OTOH most #GPT polished essays evade detection arxiv.org/pdf/2304.02819.pdf

Here is Judea Pearl on the “mini-Turing test” for AI on causal reasoning, together with ChatGPT’s responses to various causal/counterfactual questions. It does well on all of them.

Not good 👇
Yes, ChatGPT is amazing and impressive. No, @OpenAI has not come close to addressing the problem of bias. Filters appear to be bypassed with simple tricks, and superficially masked. And what is lurking inside is egregious. @Abebab @sama tw racism, sexism.

Finally, I had to try out the paperclip test, since it's practically the Hello World of alignment at this point. Nice to know there will be a few humans left over!

Facebook (sorry: Meta) AI: Check out our "AI" that lets you access all of humanity's knowledge. Also Facebook AI: Be careful though, it just makes shit up. This isn't even "they were so busy asking if they could"—but rather they failed to spend 5 minutes asking if they could. >>

This was hard to write. I wrote for Aeon on seeing mental illness as purposeful, not pathological, and about the experiences with my dad that led to this shift. I’m grateful to Christian Jarrett @psych_writer for careful editing. Comments open aeon.co/essays/evidence-grow…
