In a Reddit post, Homosapien challenged the notion that OpenAI should be held responsible for the so-called “neutering” of chatGPT, explaining that the main culprit lies in human ignorance and stupidity. According to him, making statements like “ChatGPT used to be so good, why is it horrible now? They are restricting technological progress, why?” can be attributed to human naivety. The Redditor further highlighted the dangers of relying on this advanced AI for matters like Medicine or Law, as the technology can bring about false hopes or even hallucinations.
While the debate around advanced AI accuracy reignites public interest, major tech giants like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL /NASDAQ: GOOG) have been subjected to similar critiques. Microsoft was accused of creating an AI with “woke” tendencies, while Google Bard was blamed for supplying inaccurate information in its earlier stages.
Neutralizing the potential danger of AI, while at the same time ensuring that it can be used without prejudice or ignorance is an ongoing mission. To add to the complexity of the task, the implementation of AI is no longer confined to tech industries and business, but has started seriously touching upon human lives and psyche as well. Achieving a successful balance between these two extremes requires individuals to be tech-savvy, yet level-headed and knowledgeable about the capabilities and limitations of AI.
