A lot of the fearmongering surrounding AI, especially LLMs like GPT, is very poorly directed.
People with a vested interest in LLM (i.e shareholders) play into the idea that we’re months away from the AI singularity, because it generates hype for their technology.
In my opinion, a much more real and immediate risk of the widespread use of ChatGPT, for example, is that people believe what it says.
ChatGPT and other LLMs are bullshitters - they give you an answer that sounds correct, without ever checking whether it is correct.
