American Entrepreneur Philip Rosedale is behind the technology company Linden Lab, the developer of Second Life, and he is strongly advocating for the potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT. According to Rosedale, this “alien intelligence” provides superhuman tasks while lacking human-like reasoning. He compares this milestone advancement in AI to the early stages of the internet, when endless potential emerged and folks were uncertain what would happen next.
Despite the excitement for this technology, Rosedale also points out that the AI models are limited by their limited ability to read and write memory at the same time, creating “zombie AIs” that cannot think or reason like humans. On the other hand, AI has been had success in creative tasks such as copywriting, image generation, and providing new insights.
Rosedale is cautious about the implications of this AI technology by noting its potential to spread disinformation, aid in hacking, or create ransomware. He also warned about the potential of AI to exacerbate wealth inequality and the necessity of freely available access to all, just like the early days of the internet.
However, the American entrepreneur is confident that AI will continue to make superhuman strides while performing new tasks in the future. Microsoft is also making plans to integrate ChatGPT into Bing, its search engine.
Linden Lab is the technology company behind the massive online world Second Life. Founded by American entrepreneur Philip Rosedale, the firm has been integral in the development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models like ChatGPT. In an attempt to explain the capabilities of these models, Rosedale compared them to the early days of the internet, noting the vast potential and uncertainty of the new technology.
ChatGPT is already proving to be useful in creative tasks such as copywriting and image generation. However, Rosedale has argued that current AI models lack human-like reasoning because of their limited ability to read and write memory at the same time, creating “zombie AIs”. Additionally, the entrepreneur expressed his concern about the potential for AI to spread disinformation, aid in hacking, and create ransomware.
In spite of the potential dangers, Rosedale has predicted more superhuman tasks to be accomplished by AI in the future. Microsoft is planning to pursue the technology by integrating ChatGPT into Bing, its search engine. Furthermore, Rosedale also stands firm on addressing inequality and making AI technologies freely accessible to everyone, similar to the early days of the internet.
