Geoffrey Hinton, 'otac AI', i lična priča s ChatGPT
Geoffrey Hinton, dugo smatran 'ocem AI' i dobitnik Nobelove nagrade iz fizike prošle godine, ima složen odnos prema tehnologiji koju je pionirski razvio dok je radio u industriji. Hinton je dugo upozoravao da AI predstavlja egzistencijalni rizik i potpisao je pismo u kojem je pozivao da se ne izdaju neprofitni temelji jedne organizacije.
U privatnom životu, tehnologija mu nije strana. Hinton je priznao da ga je bivša djevojka ostavila koristeći ChatGPT: "She got ChatGPT to tell me what a rat I was," "She got the chatbot to explain how awful my behaviour was and gave it to me." On je rekao: "I didn’t think I had been a rat, so it didn’t make me feel too bad," pokazujući koliko je ChatGPT prisutan čak i u ljubavnim raskidima.
Profesor Univerziteta u Torontu i dalje upozorava da AI može dovesti do "catastrophic outcomes" i poziva na hitnu akciju: "Suppose there was an alien invasion you could see with a telescope that would arrive in 10 years, would you be saying 'How do we stay positive?'" "No, you’d be saying, ‘How on earth are we going to deal with this?’ If staying positive means pretending it’s not going to happen, then people shouldn’t stay positive." Hinton predviđa velike društvene promjene, uključujući "massive unemployment and a huge rise in profits" i dodaje: "It will make a few people much richer and most people poorer," "That’s not AI’s fault, that is the capitalist system."
I pored upozorenja, koristi alate poput ChatGPT-a za praktične savjete i "research" oko kućnih popravki. Nakon raskida koji je isceniran kroz chatbot, Hinton je nastavio dalje: "I met somebody I liked more, you know how it goes," "Maybe you don't!"
