Prämisse: KI ist ein "Shoggoth" (Tentakelmonster aus dem HP-Lovecraft-Universum). Fremdartig und unverständlich.
Lovecraft’s shoggoths were artificial servants that rebelled against their creators.
Gedankengang:
But what such worries fail to acknowledge is that we’ve lived among shoggoths for centuries, tending to them as though they were our masters. We call them “the market system”, “bureaucracy” and even “electoral democracy”. The true Singularity began at least two centuries ago with the industrial revolution, when human society was transformed by vast inhuman forces. Markets and bureaucracies seem familiar, but they are actually enormous, impersonal distributed systems of information-processing that transmute the seething chaos of our collective knowledge into useful simplifications.
Und dann, weiter unten, das folgende Money Quote:It is in this sense that LLMs are shoggoths. Like markets and bureaucracies, they represent something vast and incomprehensible that would break our minds if we beheld its full immensity.
Dem möchte ich noch folgendes bekannte Lovecraft-Zitat hinzufügen:Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.Oh, nee, sorry, das war das falsche. Ich meinte das hier:
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
