“AI DEEMED ‘TOO DANGEROUS TO RELEASE’ MAKES IT OUT INTO THE WORLD”
“GPT-2 was created for a simple purpose: it can be fed a piece of text, and is able to predict the words that will come next. By doing so, it is able to create long strings of writing that are largely indistinguishable from those written by a human being.
“But it became clear that it was worryingly good at that job, with its text creation so powerful that it could be used to scam people and may undermine trust in the things we read.”
I don't think there is any doubt that that Artificial Intelligence, coming at us now in waves, is going to challenge every aspect of our traditional moral and ethical codes.
It is a brave new world indeed.
