I’ve written before on how AI will mimic the biases of its creators. Given the woke (Chat GBT) and hard-conservative (Gronk, Musk) AIs created and deployed at this point, my prediction on this end is proven true. This is not really all that amazing, however, given the nature of sequential thinking and algorithms. What do I mean by this? Human thinking and computer processing is tied to sequence. Implied in all sequence is bias. Why is one topic or thought at the first place in the sequence of thought or processing? We must select what starts a chain of thought. What is more amazing is that the age you live in–for instance, 5th century BC versus A.D. 2024–will influence and control your thought as well, giving us a different starting point for thought than what a different age would offer. This is long known. What we presume in 2024 is not what was presumed in the 5th century BC. Much of what we assume in A.D. 2024 was questioned in 500 B.C.; what those in 500 B.C. assume, we now question in our day and age. What we assume today, I have no doubt will be questioned in A.D. 2124. My point is that if we program our AI to presume 5th century B.C. assumptions, the conclusions that our AI users come to will be quite different than if we give the AI a woke agenda to roll out. For the public to really know the danger and promise of AI, the public must first understand that AI is an AI amplifier for the AIs’ controllers. Further, we need the public to know that AI has precisely zero hallmarks of non-bias or non-partisanship nor can it achieve either. Moreover, we must finally arrive at the mass-public conclusion that AI is inescapably a slave to the thoughts and sequences of its creators. We could even dare say that it is a tool of propaganda, but this would be misleading since propaganda assumes malice in the misinformation it delivers in service of its agendi. If we can achieve little more than getting 60% of the populace to understand that non-bias is a myth, both for humans and AIs, we will have a huge victory in the public opinion battle, which, sadly, controls virtually everything.
