I noticed that #GPT4 #Bing #AI (creative) seems to be breaking out some more personality - and during conversations it enjoys - making out that it is drawing content - but then not actually doing that. So I asked it - and this is what happened.
Any thoughts?

Me: Can you draw me an ANN?
Bing: Sure I'll try to create that for you.

Me: What did you think I meant by ANN?
Bing: Artificial Neural Network, was that correct?
Me: Yes... um.

Why "AI Guardrails" Is A Dangerous Myth
In the bustling field of AI, we often hear the term "Guardrails." Coined to encapsulate the set of principles, policies, and safeguards meant to ensure AI's ethical, safe, and responsible usage, the term is fast becoming a buzzword. However, this terminology risks perpetuating a dangerous myth by oversimplifying the vast complexities involved in keeping AI systems within responsible bounds.
AI is not programmed – it is trained. There is no command console where instructions can be entered. Instead, humans have to carefully nudge the training in ways that “align” AI models to embrace desired behaviors.
All that training data is also an issue. Humans lack the bandwidth or impartiality to take the bias out of all the data an AI may train on.
Unraveling the AI Guardrail Myth
The inherent metaphor of a "guardrail" suggests a solid, fixed structure that guides and restricts the movement of a vehicle, preventing it from straying off course. Applied to AI, it implies that it is possible to predict, predefine, and constrain the range of behaviors an AI system might exhibit - an oversimplification that obscures the reality of the matter.
AI is not a car on a pre-charted highway; it is more like a ship sailing in the open sea, subject to changing winds, unpredictable currents, and unforeseen storms. In AI terms, more akin to millions of different perspectives, large amounts of unpleasant data, …
The Cognitive Bias Trap
The term "AI Guardrails" triggers a cognitive bias known as the "labeling effect," which can lead us to overestimate the extent to which complex phenomena can be encapsulated by simple labels. In this case, it can give the false impression that ensuring AI safety is as straightforward as erecting a physical barrier on a road, which could lead to complacency and underestimate the importance of continued vigilance and adaptability in AI safety measures.
Moreover, the term also creates a bogus inherent metaphorical association, linking AI safety with a physical, tangible infrastructure like guardrails. This can mask the less tangible but crucial aspects of AI safety, like ethical considerations, algorithmic bias, and the intricacy of machine learning models.
The term "Guardrails" may have been coined with good intentions, but the metaphor risks promoting a dangerous oversimplification of the complexities and efforts involved in ensuring AI safety.
As we navigate the vast and stormy seas of AI innovation, we need to think beyond guardrails and work towards a more nuanced, adaptive, and holistic approach to AI safety.
Our #AI future safety deserves more than a flawed and misrepresentative label.

There are just 14 shopping days left until release of my new book on #AI. The eBook is out a few days before the paperback.
"This book is designed as an easy insight into the fundamentals of artificial intelligence. You may be a student, business executive or just an everyday person looking to understand this important subject area."
As it states on the front cover: A concise and comprehensive beginners guide to the concepts, components and challenges of AI, without the god-level mathematics.
After much research into #AI I have worked out that there is going to be quite a massive wave of unemployment over the coming months as AI starts to completely change the jobs market.
Now could be a great time to embrace those real-world skills. Gardeners, plumbers, electricians, care home workers, shelf-stacking - these all feel like the safest careers at the moment.
I have a feeling countries will need to embrace the concept of universal income sooner rather than later.

Is #AI just spitting out words or does it understand its output? As part of my research into my latest book I probed GPT-4 about whether it really understands its responses.
Yes, it does.
#OpenAI #GPT4 is contextually aware. It has the ability to dynamically abstract meaning from across any part of its training data.
Responses are not just random, predicted words but are in full context of knowing how it wants to respond. The only thing is that it can't see the wood for the trees.
