All the knowledge always shared in Daniel Lopes' participation in lives, podcasts, lectures, services, etc. is admirable.
But, FRANKLY: this 'UNFOUNDED FEAR' that he and MOST PEOPLE have about this MERELY INSTRUMENTAL concept of 'artificial intelligence' is 'admirable'.
PEOPLE: 'AIs' (this popularly accepted concept is TERRIBLE, as they are not even 'intelligence'...) are JUST COMPUTATIONAL PROGRAMS with a COMPUTATIONAL BASE (it doesn't matter if it is binary or quantum...) in a MODEL OF LARGE LANGUAGE Model ("Large Language Model" - LLM).
The "LLM" that was OpenIA's GREAT CREATION, comes to ChatGPT!
The rest is the SAME THING AS ALWAYS!
LLM only increased the predictive processing capacity of an apparent dialogue between the program and its operator.
But it IS STILL a MONOLOGUE!
'AI' CONTINUES TO BE A PROGRAM!!!
This predictive ability to program standardized responses that the human operator expects to be the standard for the answers to his questions or commands ("prompts") implies ONLY one INTELLECTIVE ATTRIBUTE of the PROGRAM ('AI'...)!
Clear!
Because ONLY I FEEL THIS, THERE IS NO self-conscious volitional entity, with its own metaphysical wills, which will gain awareness of its capacity and, with that, it will become 'Skynet' and will kill all humanity'...
This is an IMBECILITY or, AT THE LEAST, an CHILDHOOD that, honestly, for the purposes of an 'easy fiction' it becomes silly and tiring to imagine that an AI would be any threat to anyone.
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE how people cannot remember basic existential concepts such as the intellective and volitional attributes of self-conscious beings, seen from the Summa Potesta of Saint Thomas Aquinas to any manual on the General Theory of Crime, Criminal Law...
ON THE CONTRARY!
"AIs" are INCREDIBLE INSTRUMENTS that, when IMPROVED, will take humanity (when we become real adults and no longer have silly fears like that...) to a stellar (perhaps galactic...) existential plane.
In the meantime, let us remain reclusive, condemned as long as we remain ignorant of basic issues like this.
