Will ChatGPT Replace Google? The Future of Search Engines in the AI Era

IBM Watson - where is it now?
According to the official IBM Watson website, 70% of global banking institutions use Watson and 13 of the 14 systems integrators use it. It has other big enterprises listed as users. Also says it has proven capabilities and experience with +100 million users. Surprised me, I thought it was dead.

Watson focuses on enterprise AI. The website explains its approach to AI governance and ethics.
Languages: uses NLP and LLMs. Makes use of hybrid cloud.

It did great on Jeopardy. Wonder how Bard and Claude would do?

 

"Elon Musk and others urge AI pause, citing 'risks to society'

March 29 (Reuters) - Elon Musk and a group of artificial intelligence experts and industry executives are calling for a six-month pause in developing systems more powerful than OpenAI's newly launched GPT-4, in an open letter citing potential risks to society and humanity...

The letter, issued by the non-profit Future of Life Institute and signed by more than 1,000 people including Musk, called for a pause on advanced AI development until shared safety protocols for such designs were developed, implemented and audited by independent experts...

The letter detailed potential risks to society and civilization by human-competitive AI systems in the form of economic and political disruptions, and called on developers to work with policymakers on governance and regulatory authorities...

The concerns come as EU police force Europol on Monday joined a chorus of ethical and legal concerns over advanced AI like ChatGPT, warning about the potential misuse of the system in phishing attempts, disinformation and cybercrime..."

Right here in Windows 10.

I still use outbound block rules from Winaero, hopefully most still work. A recent update removed all of them, I put them right back.

Spoiler: elementary my dear watson

 

Yet everyone loved Clippy when it first came out. Back in 1997 all of the websites and tech magazines (still a thing then) had reviews of Office 97 and how awesome Clippy was. I have to wonder where all of the hate came from. It was more entertaining then the nothing that replaced it.

 

Elon plans for AI can't keep up with competition, even his AI won't implement any safeguards (umcensored AI), so he wants to pause competition?

When it comes to disinformation... Papers about generative AI and transformers are public. Researchers from around the world have been talking about it. If some nation state decides to build such a network this ban won't stop them.

 

Microsoft's vice president discusses new A.I. chatbot

It was probably the plan all along. You wanted to chat about what? We'll put that in your cart...

 

The founders' philanthropic endeavor, to make AI available to the masses for free, seems to have fallen to the wayside as it looks like they've sold out to Bill Gates and Microsoft. Funny, that. But not really.

 

A marriage : AI and 5G

While 5G appears poised to enable GPT4 & its successors on a grand scale, 5G is still a new technology and will likely take several years to unfold in many countries. Search engines will benefit from the capabilities of 5G and so will IoT, IIoT and IMoT. Home devices and appliances are 90% WiFi connected (IoT) now. Industry and health are heavily invested in IIoT and IMoT respectively.

Private 5G networks will play a role in IIoT as they provide dedicated connectivity to on-site devices, allowing manufacturers to tailor their network to meet the needs of their facility—and to keep data local and secure. Many regions of the world are setting aside dedicated spectrum ranges purely for IIoT use, ensuring that connectivity is always reliable. For example, Japan chose the 28GHz band for industrial use.

If data is coming from different types of devices in various formats, for example, there must be a way to convert it to a common format and send it to third-party analytics software. Without a clear path from the edge to the cloud and beyond, data can get lost in the shuffle—and if it’s missing or delayed, it’s pretty much useless.

The spanner in the works: IoT is unregulated and has few standards. Privacy and security are still major issues. GPT is unregulated.

Man ends his life after an AI chatbot 'encouraged' him to sacrifice himself to stop climate change

No surprise. Gary Marcus in a video already linked in this thread predicted that some death attributable to AI-powered chatbot will happen in 2023.

Oh wow, this headline is tragic. But unfortunately, the link pasted into Firefox gives me this:

But...the snowball effect of negative experiences is gathering momentum. I like many of AdGuard's blogs.

We've seen this, right?

Here is the moral of my story about all that obsession with "improving AdBlock and/or uBlock."

Here is what I see - RIGHT NOW when I click on that link - with my Brave, Mullvad Browser (I like it a lot but can't Sandboxed it), Firefox, Edge.

 

OK, I tried the link again and it works today. I have Sandboxie too, in Firefox. OK, well I was able to read the story and it's terrible. But he must have had underlying issues, no? Normally, one is able to put these chat bots into context, ie: way down there on the totem pole. Someone else's totem pole.

 

Definitely. As much as it sucks it's a good thing it didn't tell him to harm others. You have to wonder how many out there would do so. When AI says it wants to kill us all I guess this is where it starts and it's up 1 person so far. The idea that it is powerless to carry out the threat was just voided with this story.

 

Let's look at the positive side of that tragedy linked to ChatGPT.
That poorly-naive person just killed himself only!
Currently, lot of mentally-unstable, suicidal people tend to take a lot of innocent people - CHILDREN - with them.

 

It isn't directly linked to ChatGPT
