User interface pretending to be human: fraud.

Statistical sentence generation described as “intelligence”: fraud.

Telling people, often children, to commit dangerous or criminal acts: all sorts of crimes.

Scientific papers generated, non-existing cases quoted at court, homework faked, artists ripped-off: fraud and copyright infringement.

Training based on unlicensed works: copyright infringement.

Data centers with tax incentives and special energy pricing: theft.

Promises to investors of AGI: fraud.

Government bailouts with taxpayer money: theft and fraud.

Media and politicians: This is innovation, don’t get left behind.

@thomasfuchs
Good list
I could add : Financial product innovation - Fraud
(BTW I did financial innovation for 30+ years most of it was technically legal, also fraud)

None of this the fault of LLMs or other generative “AI” by the way.

At every step there’s _people_ making criminal or at least unethical decisions.

@thomasfuchs True, but only because generative AI doesn't reason and isn't sentient. Pretty horrifying to imagine that evolving in an already (massively) tainted technology, especially if it gains its 'morality' from its creators.

@AnnieG The chances of this happening are the same as your butter knife evolving feelings

@thomasfuchs in the larger picture (interconnected IOT, neural nets, AI) it will eventually happen, the same way it happened in biological life forms (hmm, gamma rays?).

Though maybe not the feelings... Which could be problematic for us, if we're still around.
