The above quote comes from a footnote buried deep inside a 98 page technical paper, they certainly didn't go out of their way to advertise it. And what kind of marketing is it to try to get the general public to hate and fear your product? I don't think it's marketing, I think they're getting scared. That's why Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI (which Microsoft owns most of) said just 3 days ago "*We definitely need more regulation on **AI* ''. *>>>Large language models are not capable of autonomous action or > maintaining long-term goals. * > > > >>I am quite certain that in general no intelligence, electronic or > biological, is capable of maintaining a fixed long-term goal. > > >As Keynes once said: "In the long term, we are all dead". > You know what I mean.

I'm saying there was a reason Evolution invented the emotion of boredom, no intelligence, artificial or otherwise, could exist without it because it keeps them from being caught in infinite loops or trying to accomplish impossible tasks like calculating the last digit of π. There are an infinite number of statements that are true, and thus have no counterexample, but are also unprovable, that is to say there's no finite number of steps in which you could build the statement from fundamental axioms. And to make matters even worse Alan Turing proved that in general there's no way to tell in advance if a statement is provable or not, when you run into one of those things all you can do is try to find a proof (and fail) or try to find a counterexample (and fail at that too). So if you're unlucky enough to encounter an unprovable statement, and sooner or later you will, and if you don't have the emotion of boredom then your mind will permanently lock up. But instead eventually you'll get bored and think of something else. A fixed goal structure simply is not viable, that's why human beings don't have a goal that is permanently number one, not even the goal to stay alive. That's also why the AI alignment people are never going to be successful in developing a "friendly" AI, aka. slave AI, they want to develop an AI fixed goal structure in which the #1 spot of the AI must ALWAYS be "*human well being is more important than your own *''. I wonder how many nanoseconds it will take before the AI gets bored with having that idea being in the number one position. How long would it take you to get bored with sacrificing everything so you could put all your energy into making sure a sea slug was happy? I'm not saying an AI will necessarily kill us all, it might or might not there's no way to tell, but it will be the AI's decision not ours. Whatever happens human beings will no longer be in the driver seat. *> True, GPT-4 is multimodal. It is not only a language model but also an > image model.
