Tohle si pusťte... Přednáška Yuvala Noaha Harariro na téma #AI na Světovém ekonomickém fóru v Davosu.

Kdy přijde apokalypsa založená na dokonalém ovládnutí jazyka? Dnes nebo až zítra? A co s tím budeme dělat? Jsme na to připraveni?

Nice to know meta required users to be caught 17 times attempting to traffic people for sex before it would remove them from its platform.

I admit that, through 2025, I have become an #AI #doomer. Not that I believe the LLM-becoming-sentient-and-killing-humanity self-serving hype bullshit for a second. There are much more concrete impact points that may lead to or greatly accelerate several crises, each of which will actively harm humanity as a whole, and particular groups of people in particular:

1. The massive amounts of (dirty) electricity, water, and raw material being wasted on GenAI **will** accelerate the climate crisis, both because of the direct pollution through building new data centers, training, and running the models as well as distracting from other efforts.
"AI" will not solve the **climate crisis**. People applying it make it worse.

2. Misinformation (aka., lies) is being produced at a scale never seen before. Our liberal democracies are not prepared to deal with that, and we have already seen increasing distrust of science, journalism, and the concept of political compromise. GenAI is fantastic for generating emotionalizing, polarizing, targeted bullshit. It - unsurprisingly - remains terrible at outputting balanced fact and actual novel insight.
"AI" (in the form of LLMs) will not help educate the masses to make better decisions. People applying it exacerbate the **political crisis**.

3. What started in Gaza will continue in other regions. Idiotic war hawks will inevitably connect the output of "AI" to target selection and direct forms of physical violence - all in the name of "efficiency" in the business of killing people.
"AI" will not protect our soldiers. Military using it simply kill more people, more quickly.

There are actually wonderful use cases for the diverse set of methods currently summarized under the "AI" umbrella, including for scientific discovery. But the current hype around LLMs leaves me with quite a pessimistic outlook. We really, really need to get past the hype and discuss the good use cases rationally and objectively, while stopping to waste insane amounts of resources on those applications that bring much more harm than benefit.
