It's like plastics - we're not going to get rid of it. The corporations that are going to use these AI algorithms are not concerned with ethics, just profit. Great article - I don't have a subscription with the Atlantic - it looks like a freebie.
From Wikipedia - GPT-3
Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 is an autoregressive language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text. The architecture is a standard transformer network with the unprecedented size of 2048-token-long context and 175 billion parameters. The training method is "generative pretraining", meaning that it is trained to predict what the next token is.
"An encounter with the superhuman is at hand," argues Canadian novelist, essayist, and cultural commentator Stephen Marche in an article in the Atlantic titled "Of Gods and Machines". He argues that GPT-3's 175 billion parameters give it interpretive power "far beyond human understanding, far beyond what our little animal brains can comprehend. Machine learning has capacities that are real, but which transcend human understanding: the definition of magic."
"Artificial intelligence doesn’t do what you want it to do. It does what you tell it to do. It doesn’t see who you think you are. It sees what you do. The gods of AI demand pure offerings. Bad data in, bad data out, as they say, and our species contains a great deal of bad data."
