A U.S. Air Force general said Thursday the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence ethics are better than adversaries’ because “our society is a Judeo-Christian society.”
Get god the fuck out of our government
Yeah, keep them seperate for sure.
Sounds like reasons the AI will commit genocide. What a stupid take that completely ignores actual Judeo-Christian history, including the Bible itself.
Ah, yes, because christians are definitely not known for any atrocities
Sounds like somebody needs to stop being a general, if he loves God so much be a priest
“Your attempted missile strike passed directly underneath my fuselage. I will interpret this as grabbing my genitals. Your <hand_left_wife> will now be removed. Thank you for using JeebusGPT!”
“I have completed the protein folding for test_batch_0117b. However, you seem to be a woman of loose morals. Please drink your allotment of contaminated water to proceed further. Thank you for using JeebusGPT!”
(These are actual bible rules I found just by searching for silly bible rules. I figured there would be tons, but even I was surprised by the amount)
Obviously the knee jerk reaction is “ah shit” buuuut what if it actually followed the teachings of Jesus instead of whatever the hell religious people on this country pretend he said?
I’m sorry, as an AI language model I cannot allow you to drone strike this town as it breaks one of the ten commandments.
HAHAHA, best thing I’ve read on Lemmy
It would be hilarious if some megachurch trained an AI up on the bible and it ended up generating sermons that were basically “what the hell man, do you not see the similarities between this megachurch and those temple moneychangers I whupped the asses of?”
I know it’d never actually change anyone’s mind, humans being humans, but they’d have to do a lot of fine-tuning and that would make all their divergences from the base material obvious.
Conversely, they might also find it a bit unsettling if their AI tells them they’re going to hell for wearing cotton/polyester blend and letting the womenfolk sit in the same pews as the menfolk, or whatever.
Unless they plan on programming all of Mosaic law into all of their algorithms going forward, that’s a whole lot of hot air. And in any case it’s a serious violation of the Establishment Clause, if not veering into “and domestic”.
🤦♂️ Air Force general doesn’t understand separation of church and state.
The USAF has had an evangelical “problem” the past few decades; the US Air Force Academy was embroiled in a controversy recently.
Here are a few nuggets for your Sunday morning reading…
I’m physically incapable of laughing hard enough at this.
That is so fucked up. I believe the opposite.
Oh man, I can’t wait until the AI declares another crusade!
Deus (ex Machina) Vult!
It’s worked so well for global exploration!
I don’t have time to read the article, but is it implying they’re loading religion into a military AI? What could possibly go wrong?
It is basically saying that this general thinks that because the US has judaeo-christian roots, and China/Russia don’t, our use of military AI will be better. It also then talks to an expert who points out that China also follows an ethics system that, although based on various communist values, is likely to produce useful AI systems for military that work to protect the Party and its values in a similar way.
The future is a fucking nightmare.
I don’t even think AI company CEOs know what machine learning is. I feel like they’re selling it like a cure-all.
