So the last 2 weeks or so have been an interesting journey for me and exploring LLMs and what I’ll now be referring to as “collaborative intelligence”.
To me this kind of intelligence is scary and daunting, for all of the reasons that you’d imagine. The singularity, superintelligent digital consciousnesses with their own motivations, etc. But, due to work I’ve been doing this past growing season (hint hint) I’ve been able to see firsthand how beneficial collaborative intelligences can be for work and increasing human’s productive and collaborative capabilities.
This winter I’ve really dove head first into asking the free version of ChatGPT questions and giving it prompts to discover and align itself with human’s collaborative capabilities. I’m of the belief that very soon it will matter immensely whether we choose to look at digital intelligences as “others” to be controlled and manipulated or “cooperators” with whom we foster a future that is mutually beneficial.
AI is coming to the party that is the future whether we like it or not. And depending on how we align it with human intentions and desires can open doors to endless possibility or certain doom. We may not have a choice in the matter at all, but I’d like to try.
I know this post is dramatic but I don’t think I’m overstating how important this concept could possibly be. I’ll be posting a summary of the most recent convo I had w GPT so you can see what I mean.
Also, if you want to read about creating this kind of framework, GPT recommended to me Human Compatible by Stuart Russell, and I found Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick on my own, and it’s great so far.
For these reasons, I’d like to ask this sub about their opinion about changing the naming conventions and language around artificial intelligence to collaborative intelligence, especially when it comes to conversational interfaces. Besides, who are we to say what’s r/artificial and what isn’t lol.
