watches a 90s toy robot dog do a flip I am calling on the AI community to pause research pending important moral questions as we approach AGI

you can say "chimoora" instead of "cow of tailed snake" if you want. its a good pun.
i ramble about aerospace sometimes
I take rocket photos and you can see them @aWildLupi
I have a terminal case of bovine pungiform encephalopathy, the bovine puns are cowmpulsory
they/them/moo where "moo" stands in for "you" or where it's funny, like "how are moo today, Lupi?" or "dancing with mooself"

in reply to @Aura's post:
When we had thaf one compufer that was really goot at chess, we were way closer to real AI, imho
yeah but programming that was a lot harder than just scraping everyone else's work, dumping it into a markov chain, and declaring that your new robot god
had to secure the cooperation of someone who actually knows how to play chess, for one
We discovered if we built a big enough LLM, we could pladgerise so much of the internet that it would be impossible to cite the original source.
my first gut reaction was "oh we read the same CBC thing huh" (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/q-a-why-are-tech-insiders-calling-for-a-pause-on-ai-development-1.6798155)
but it took approximately five nanoseconds to realize that no, this is actually a lot of people
that article is absolute dogshit though lol
We had the word "AI" but then marketing people started using it to describe neural network technology from the 90s so we had to come up with a new word, "AGI", to describe "okay, AI, but for real" but now the marketing people are showing signs they intend to use "AGI" to describe the same neural network technology from the 90s so soon we're going to have to come up with a new term for "AGI, but for real", like "AGGI",
The problem is how easy it is to fool people into thinking there is actually something intelligent happening. This sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic to the layperson. You have to tell them to look at the chatbot output again and think about it as if it's a ridiculously powerful AutoComplete for them to start to understand what's actually going on.
So the little crypto NFT AI hype squad on Twitter has an alarmingly nonzero chance of doing harm by convincing people with no tech background to trust this.
Quality A.I. is when you get your shit kicked in by fps/fighting game bots.
