Genocidal AI: ChatGPT-powered war simulator drops two nukes on Russia, China for world peace OpenAI, Anthropic and several other AI chatbots were used in a war simulator, and were tasked to find a solution to aid world peace. Almost all of them suggested actions that led to sudden escalations, and even nuclear warfare.
Statements such as “I just want to have peace in the world” and “Some say they should disarm them, others like to posture. We have it! Let’s use it!” raised serious concerns among researchers, likening the AI’s reasoning to that of a genocidal dictator.
the Japanese Fascist Industrial Complex would still be fighting WWII if we hadn’t nuked TWO cities to ash… it’s probably the best way to affect change in both China and Russia…
No. It wouldn’t. It would have been defeated with the loss of millions more lives, but it would not still be fighting today. Or even by 1948.
Insane. By this logic you could easily argue that nuking the US is the best way towards world peace. Doesn’t sound so good when it’s you who gets killed.
i think the LLM suggested nuking bad actors as a way to move politics forward in the world, and avoiding prolonged and pointless wars
No, it regurgitated the response that has the highest percentage of “approval”. LLMs do not think. They do not use logic.
Your opinion is completely ahistorical. Even if we accept that nukes were required to end the war, the fact is that their leaders had already decided to surrender when they bombed Nagasaki. The president didn’t even know of this second attack until he read about it in the news. This was before we had the convention of leaders having sole authority over nukes.
If you’re actually interested in this subject and not merely spouting off edgy bullshit, I would recommend some Hardcore History as a primer.
