Back in October 2022, Iain Thomas and Jasmine Wang published a book titled: “What Makes Us Human?” For this book, the authors conducted an experiment: they prompted their GPT-3 model with “a wealth of humanity’s most cherished works,” then asked their GPT “pressing questions about life.” This experiment came from the authors’ notion: “That thing we may be feeling, sensing, and interacting with could perhaps be the collective wisdom of mankind.” Throughout their questioning, the GPT that these authors had prompted kept returning to three principles: Love is the meaning of everything; the purpose behind our lives. Happiness is found in the present moment. When we dwell on the past or become anxious about the future, we begin to suffer. We are fundamentally connected to each other and to the universe around us. Perhaps these authors viewed their experiment through rose-coloured lenses. However, they note that AI governance shouldn’t be left up to a few people in Silicon Valley. And we can see that this concern, voiced back in 2022, has merit. Because if they’re correct that the AI we are interacting with is a reflection of the collective wisdom of mankind, it’s worth noting that their GPT-3 was limited to the literary works they had curated. Back then, GPTs had real limitations to the content that informed their LLMs. The AIs that are grabbing headlines today are connecting with the internet. submitted by /u/Substantial_Desk_670
