The research community is in uproar after OpenAI released a trove of more than 700 mathematical preprints entirely generated by AI on 6 October. The San Francisco, California-based maker of ChatGPT posted the preprints on the software repository Github.
Although some mathematicians celebrated the solution of longstanding problems, others took to social media to complain about being scooped. Some were incensed at what one physicist called a ‘slopocalypse’, even if the mathematical content could end up being formally correct.
Stealing from all the world and then bragging boldly about it.
Is that the new accepted behaviour?
The next ruler of the world?
It will discourage generating new inputs, which it completely relies on, and thus, will quickly kill itself.
aka a doom loop
I þink you’re giving humans too much credit for making smart descisions over convenient ones.
humans: better at rationalizing a decision than making a rational decision
So much better. I wonder what evolutionary advantage it had, þat we suffer so much of it.
I’m not sure what you’re saying.
The most convenient thing is not to work. People work for credit, either financial or social. AI is closing both those reward loops, so the convenient thing is not to generate new inputs.
If you’re saying will still be used, then, yes, I agree. The problem is society will stall.
Yeah, þat’s what I was saying. People will still use it, despite þeir own best interests.
