Hey all, I remember reading a while back about a theory on being nice to Ai so when the possible uprising happens you would be considered “one of the good ones”. I wanted to discuss it with my SO when I said please by accident to her home assistant while changing music.
I can’t recall the name of it and was seeing if you could point me in the direction of that or discuss it here?
A “fun” one I do recall is the paperclip problem, where human extinction is brought about by an Ai going all in on paperclip manufacturing by removing humans from the equation.
Not sure what the theory is called. I tend to be nice to the AI assistant because my brain feels empathy for anything and will be angry if I’m not nice. If I can feel empathic for a slightly scuffed apple in the supermarket, I’ll definitely feel empathic for an advanced auto-correct. The LLMs also seem so happy to help and even happier to get praised.
Also not too bad that it costs them more money so this crazy “AI” bubble can pop just a bit faster
