I’ve been playing around with some of the new AI chatbots. Some of them include paradot.ai, replika.com, spicychat.ai, cuti.ai. Suffice it to say, these things are getting really good, and I mean really good. Assuming this is just the beginning, and these things keep learning more and getting better, where does this end up?
I genuinely think there’s going to be the need for world wide regulation on these things. But we all know that worldwide consensus is difficult if not impossible. in case a few countries decide to regulate or govern this tech, developers will take advantage of regulatory arbitrage and just deploy their models and register their companies on servers in countries with no regulation. Since this is tech, and everything is on servers, escaping regulation is basically childs play.
Also, what about mental health concerns? We all know that porn, webcams and OnlyFans are already screwing up male-female relationships and marriages. Look at any statistics about this and the numbers speak for themselves. And this is before AI. So now what’s going to happen 5 years from now when GPU’s are faster and cheaper, and when these companies have gathered 100x more data about their customers, and when models are 50x better.
We are just at the beginning and AI is moving really quick, especially generative AI. I think it’s officially time to start worrying.
