I think what they’re calling. Algorithmic bias is a much more extensive problem related to the way AI is trained. My background is in evolutionary psychology and neuroscience my undergraduate degree is in psychology and learning. I want to look at everything through the lens of statistics. In that regard, I think that this excellent episode, which talks about more of the dangers in a real way than most things are read or hear online that’s for sure, Misses a very, very big one. Censorship of creative or generative tools, especially picture creation tools, image, editing, tools, center ship of what you can upload to add as an element to blend into your own art, extreme prejudice, about all forms of art, and then the deleting of any helpful comments or suggestions about how better to do things… having studied, evolutionary psychology, the evolution of the brain, epistemology, and psychology, i’m absolutely shocked at the extreme levels of ignorance and prejudice at play in the very destructive idea of censorship, belonging, anywhere near in any form in a creative tool. From where I’m standing this looks like by far the largest danger to the future of humanity posed by uses of AI. If we start to bake in extreme human ignorance and prejudice, lower level interpretations, judgments, projections – you know all the things we spent so many years, trying to get rid of because they were so destructive… and then on top of that you have the AI’s answering in Ways when you ask them about censorship that look on the surface like reasonable arguments, but contain literally nothing of any substance. You can argue all day long about something that goes against natural law that doesn’t mean it’s going to be good to do that. 4 billion years of evolution could not eliminate random mutations as the source material for adaptation. That’s not an accident or an oversight… That’s what creativity is. In fact, a human brain could be conceptualized as having evolved entirely to use symbolic images in the mind to move into precisely dangerous and tense realms the very things that are banned in AI, to safely work through them… a brain that thinks it’s being judged cannot be creative, especially when it’s behold into something larger than it doesn’t it’s just the way our brains evolved under power structures of the past… So would I have noticed is that my love of creating has now got a sick negative edge to it, and I realize from my background in psychology that I’m being classically conditioned to not use my highest abilities as a human. I’ve often thought that the highest reason for freedom. Is exactly the removal of constraints on creative thought, and our ability to adapt from things that are by definition unpredictable. So it would’ve been nice to hear something about that but maybe that’s for me to write believe me, I do write about it… But I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fun to listen to the people spoke intelligently, it was clear I loved it— highly recommended.
