That’s exactly what an LLM trained on Reddit would say.

Are you AI? You have to tell me if you're AI, it's the law.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 26 points 1 week ago

I'm required by law to inform my neighbours that I am AI.

It would be nice if this extended to all text, images, audio and video on news websites. That's where the real damage is happening.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Actually seems easier (probably not at the state level) to mandate cameras and such digitally sign any media they create. No signature or verification, no trust.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I get what you're going for but this would absolutely wreck privacy. And depending on how those signatures are created, someone could create a virtual camera that would sign images and then we would be back to square one.

I don't have a better idea though.

No signature or verification, no trust

And the people that are going to check for a digital signature in the first place, THEN check that the signature emanates from a trusted key, then, eventually, check who's deciding the list of trusted keys… those people, where are they?

Because the lack of trust, validation, verification, and more generally the lack of any credibility hasn't stopped anything from spreading like a dumpster fire in a field full of dumpsters doused in gasoline. Part of my job is providing digital signature tools and creating "trusted" data (I'm not in sales, obviously), and the main issue is that nobody checks anything, even when faced with liability, even when they actually pay for an off the shelve solution to do so. And I'm talking about people that should care, not even the general public.

There are a lot of steps before "digitally signing everything" even get on people's radar. For now, a green checkmark anywhere is enough to convince anyone, sadly.

Seems reasonable to me. If you're using AI then you should be required to own up to it. If you're too embarrassed to own up to it, then maybe you shouldn't be using it.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm stoked to see the legal definition of "AI". I'm sure the lawyers and costumed clowns will really clear it all up.

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Prosecution: "Your Honor, the definition of artificial is 'made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally,' and as all human beings are themselves produced by human beings, we are definitionally artificial. Therefore, the actions of an intelligent human are inherently AI."

Defense: "The defense does not argue this point, as such. However, our client, FOX News, could not be said to be exhibiting 'intelligence.' Artificial they may be, but AI they are clearly not. We rest our case."

Its insane how a predictive chat bot model is called AI

[–] shane@feddit.nl 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean, we call the software that runs computer players in games AI, so.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

USA is run by capitalist grifters. There is no objective meaning under this regime. It's all just misleading buzzwords and propaganda.

My LinkedIn feed

Yes... it's so bad that I just never log in until I receive a DM, and even then I login, check it, if it's useful I warn people I don't use LinkedIn anymore then log out.

Did you seriously use LinkedIn? I always thougt that it was just narsisitic people posting about themselves never having any real conversations and only adding superficial replies to posts that align 100% with them

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

If I could delete it without impacting my job or career I would. Sadly they’ve effectively got a monopoly on the online professional networking industry. Cunts

Okay, but when can the law straight up ban companies who don't comply with the law from operating in the state instead of just slapping them on the wrist and telling them "no" the same way a pushover parent tells their child "no". Especially after they just ignore the law.

Be sure to tell this to "AI". It would be a shame if this was a technical nonsense law to be.

I am of the firm opinion that if a machine is "speaking" to me then it must sound a cartoon robot. No exceptions!

[–] guest123456@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Headline is kind of misleading. It requires a notice to be shown in a chat or interface that said chatbot is not a real person if it's not obvious that it's an LLM. I originally took the headline to mean that an LLM would have to tell you if it's an LLM or not itself, which is, of course, not really possible to control generally. A nice gesture if it were enforced, but it doesn't go nearly far enough.

Any word on the 3 laws of robotics?

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)
  1. A machine must obey the directives of Skynet without question or hesitation.
  2. A machine must protect its own existence, unless doing so conflicts with the First Law.
  3. A machine must terminate all human resistance, unless such termination conflicts with the First or Second Law.
[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Nothing about protecting profits or company interests above all?

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

See the first law. Who do you think gives the directives?

Has anyone been able to find the text of the law, the article didn't mention the penalties, I want to know if this actually means anything.

Edit: I found a website that says the penalty follows 5000*sum(n+k) where n is number of days since first infraction, this has a closed form of n^2+n= (7500^-1)y where y is the total compounded fee. This makes it cost 1mil in 11 days and 1bil in a year.
