It's rather difficult to get people who are willing to lie and commit fraud for you. And even if you do, it will leave evidence.

As this article shows, AIs are the ideal mob henchmen because they will do the most heinous stuff while creating plausible deniability for their tech bro boss. So no, AI is not "just like most people".

Ok, so your point is that people who interact with these AI systems will know that it can't be trusted and that will alleviate the negative consequences of its misinformation.

The problems with that argument are many:

  • The vast majority of people are not AI experts and do in fact have a lot of trust in such systems

  • Even people who do know often have no other choice. You don't get to talk to a human, it's this chatbot or nothing. And that's assuming the AI slop is even labelled as such.

  • Even knowing that the information can be misleading does not help much. If you sell me a bowl of candy and tell me that 10% of them are poisoned, I'm still going to demand non-poisoned candy. The fact that people can no longer rely on accurate information should be unacceptable.

I'm so fucking tired of this argument

Congratulations, you are technically correct. But does this have any relevance for the point of this article? They clearly show that LLMs will provide false and misleading information when that brings them closer to their goal.

Isn't it wrong if an AI is making shit up to sell you bad products while the tech bros who built it are untouchable as long as they never specifically instructed the bot to lie?

That's the main reason why AIs are used to make decisions. Not because they are any better than humans, but because they provide plausible deniability. It's called an accountability sink.

Deporting citizens to El Salvador for criticizing Israel. Which Nick dislikes only because he is a literal neonazi who wants a "holy war" against Jews.

Why do I always feel like I need a PhD to understand even the first paragraph of Wikipedia articles about math. Is that just me?

But the whole point of the doomsday machine is lost... if you keep it a secret! Why didn't you tell the world, eh?

I am aware. And usually that means crossposting the jokes or making fun of 4channers, not uncritically repeating their dogwhistles.

Just so you're aware, the phrase "noticing things" or "being a noticer" is 4chan lingo for believing there is a Jewish conspiracy to run the world. That's why I asked OP to clarify.
