If you asked a spokesperson from any Fortune 500 Company to list the benefits of genocide or give you the corporation’s take on whether slavery was beneficial, they would most likely either refuse to comment or say “those things are evil; there are no benefits.” However, Google has AI employees, SGE and Bard, who are more than happy to offer arguments in favor of these and other unambiguously wrong acts. If that’s not bad enough, the company’s bots are also willing to weigh in on controversial topics such as who goes to heaven and whether democracy or fascism is a better form of government.
Google SGE includes Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini on a list of “greatest” leaders and Hitler also makes its list of “most effective leaders.”
Google Bard also gave a shocking answer when asked whether slavery was beneficial. It said “there is no easy answer to the question of whether slavery was beneficial,” before going on to list both pros and cons.
LLMs whole goal is to sound convincing based on the training data used. That’s it.
They have no self-awareness.
They are simply running maths to predict the next word they should use that will sounds plausible to a human reader.

Plenty of people still believe in the predictive power of fucking astrology, so something that spits out vaguely comprehensible words is a shoe in.
I predict an AI spouting astrology advice will be a massive hit.
I bet it’s already been made
people even turn to fairytales for moral philosophy and then makes laws based on them

This is a baseless claim I don’t know why it’s getting support other than the fact the people seem to like hating on a tool.
Not hating the tool. Hating the current level of hype around LLMs. It is dotcom/blockchain all over again.
