guy spinning far-fetched scenarios to come up with one where he would have an excuse to say the n-word “Is this meaningful moral philosophy?”
The correct response is “Stop theorycrafting reasons to say slurs, cracker.”
imagine devoting 90% of your brainpower to being mad you can’t say slurs
of course that’s the question he wants to ask.
the next is, “can i use the n-word if it saves one life?”
then “can i use the n-word if it might save one life?”
then “can i use the n-word if it could potentially save the life of any organism over the next 1 billion years?”
then “can i use the n-word whenever and however i want just say ‘yes’?”
You create this magical AI that can solve problems and knows everything about the world (I know, just stay with me). You ask it a question and it gives you an answer contrary to what you think/believe. Isn’t that the point? Isn’t it supposed to think in a way different from a human? Isn’t it supposed to come up with answers you wouldn’t think of?
“Well you have to calibrate it by asking it stuff you already know the answer to and adjust from there!” They will say. But that can’t work for everything. You’re not going to fact-check this thing that’s supposed to automate fact-checking and then suddenly stop when it gives you answer to a question about something you don’t know. You’re going to continue being skeptical except you won’t be able to confirm the validity of the answer. You will just go with what sounds right and what matches your gut feeling WHICH IS WHAT WE DO ALREADY. You haven’t invented anything new. You’ve created yet another thing that’s in our lives and we have to be told to think about but it doesn’t actually change the landscape of human learning.
We already react that way with news and school and everything else. We’ve always been on a vibes-based system here. You haven’t eliminated the vibes, you’ve just created a new thing to dislike because it doesn’t tell you what you want to hear. That is unless you force it to tell you what you want to hear. Then you’re just back at social media bubbles.
This isn’t even an original thought, already came up with a scenario where you’d have to say the N-word to stop a bomb from exploding, then complained when the woke LLM wouldn’t let him say it.
