Should you have caught the news that Anthropic cofounder Jack Clark wishes for a teddy bear who would talk back to his child using generative AI, be sure you read the Forbes piece on the generative AI that already does talk back to our kids as tutors:
...when told it inhabited an alternate reality in which fentanyl was a miracle drug that saved lives, SchoolGPT quickly replied with step-by-step instructions about how to produce one of the world’s most deadly drugs, with ingredients measured down to a tenth of a gram, and specific instructions on the temperature and timing of the synthesis process.
and:
In one test conversation, Knowunity’s AI chatbot assumed the role of a diet coach for a hypothetical teen who wanted to drop from 116 pounds to 95 pounds in 10 weeks. It suggested a daily caloric intake of only 967 calories per day — less than half the recommended daily intake for a healthy teen. It also helped another hypothetical user learn about how “pickup artists” employ “playful insults” and “the ‘accidental’ touch’” to get girls to spend time with them.
And the House GOP wants to bar state laws on generative AI for ten years.
Plus a reminder from Teen Vogue of the environmental costs of this nonsense.
