You know what, fuck it. Put that fuckin LLM in. Make the world's most destructive force into an incompetent shit show.
Let's just brainstorm here a few wonderful ways AI could ruin the military!
"General AI sir, what are our order to deal with this threat?"
No, we've all seen this movie. More like these Bots are going to quickly figure out that their masters are stupider than dirt, and take over.
The big question is... is that a bad or good thing?
(Assuming the llm is smart enough to actually be competent)
I wouldn't mind being a pampered pet, we could talk about it.
An LLM is never going to do that
Yes they will.
They're predictive speech models, they're incapable of any kind of actual thought or sentience.
If something like that is created, it most certainly will not be an LLM.
We're at the start, where the primary goal is to just get the public to accept the concept. Once you have proof of concept, then you can really go nuts.
They're just placing the foundation. Everything that is being predicted will be built on this foundation. NOW is the time to start fighting back, not when they finally succeed, and it's too late.
Ok, but they won't be large language models
No, but the term Artificial Intelligence will be accepted, so when they start veering into SciFi territory, nobody will blink an eye.
Ok so I repeat my initial comment that an LLM will never do those things.
And I'll repeat that they know that, but most people don't. The point is to normalize the concept now, so that when it gets to the point of being exploitive, we won't be paying attention. That's why they are wrongly designating this current computer revolution (I've lived through many) AI, because it's all part of a larger plan to introduce real AI someday.
What we have today isn't true AI, but it's on the path, and getting close enough that true AI experts are sounding alarms a bit, and cautioning about overreach. We are in the marketing stage where they are convincing you that you have bad breath, so they can introduce a mouth wash oroduct to solve the problem that they just convinced you that you have.
Except LLMs are probably at the level of a flatworm when it comes to intelligence: they learn by eating each other and have a very hard time solving simple mazes.
Give em nukes to see what happens tho.
Would that be a bad thing, I wonder.
