I’ve just been down an hour long CHATGPT rabbit hole 23:05 - Jan 15 with 2144 viewsBlueastheycome

And I really wish I hadn’t. According to CHATGPT, the worlds militaries increasingly rely on AI more and more for its defence and nuclear systems. So much so, the risk of a nuclear war increases more and more per year due to an AI miscalculation within those systems that there is a 22 PERCENT CHANCE of an unintentional/accidental nuclear happening in 50 years time!

Seems obvious that my first response would be “okay, surely we (humans) wouldn’t let that happen..” but apparently not according to chat gpt as we give more and more control and power to AI to make decisions for us (and/or rely on data that AI provides us to make those decisions).

A lovely way to spend an evening. Take me back to 2006 please when the world was a lot less scary.

It states that we are currently in the human in the loop phase as shown below. However, we already walking into the human out of the loop stage as we seek to be more efficient, safe and effective from a military perspective by relying on AI.

Three classifications of the degree of human control of autonomous weapon systems were laid out by Bonnie Docherty in a 2012 Human Rights Watch report.[3]

human-in-the-loop: a human must instigate the action of the weapon (in other words not fully autonomous)
human-on-the-loop: a human may abort an action
human-out-of-the-loop: no human action is involved

Bear in mind that ChatGPT doesn't know what's really happening. It only knows what other people have written or said they think is the case, having compiled what it thinks (based upon whatever criteria it was programmed with) are the most reliable sources. Or perhaps those it believes you want to see.

would be interesting to setup a conversation between ChatGPT, Grok (for the lolz), Gemini and the other major AI chatbots to see if they could ever "work out" a situation

Granted I fear Grok may end up suggesting Skynet and the rise of the machines...

I asked Chat GPT to compile a post to start a thread on here. It suggested that Chappers would score for us against Blackburn on Saturday!!
My experience of Chat GPT so far is that it is not very bright (yet), but of course it is learning. I question everything it tells me. ( Actually I question everything anybody tells me.) One would hope that in things that are important other versions of AI are superior.
Of course, every time you question it or correct it, it learns. But as you point out, it is reliant upon these sources of information, and who is to say these are valid?

AIs for specific, limited tasks are generally better trained and have more reliable inputs.

For example, the AI which controls your kettle has just one very limited job, which it will do very well (unless it breaks), based upon pretty accurate data from a heat sensitive switch.

That's all an AI really is. A piece of hardware and/or software designed to do a task without human intervention, or at a speed humans are not capable of (particularly in the field of information processing). The likes of ChatGPT are just boosted search engines, which do some of the compiling and analysis for you. More or less reliably, depending upon the effort put in beforehand training the system.

Just remember anything IT is riro. And that comes from us. Human error.

So if AI gets it wrong you will probably be able to trace it back to someone called Dave who mistyped something in the first place and no one checked it, and off we go.

Whether that's true or not few people can ever know, but the way we humans do things it's pretty likely that it is true or will be true.

When you've got half-wit, bloated babies in charge of powerful nations, appointing unqualified sycophants who directly or indirectly appoint service chiefs it's inconceivable that every appointee will be suitably qualified and have the integrity to make sure that what you have described won't happen.

Especially if it saves money!

Yes, the human in the loop is central to human control over AI; this has been a pivotal principle ever since the beginning. But I have a feeling AI will (justifiably) do away with us eventually; after all, even now, by the time you download and run your shiny new game (or whatever equivalent in the real world), AI could have played through every possible scenario thousands of times and worked out the best solution. As for Terminator, I believe that Skynet would have been the hero were it not for the nuclear bombing (Cameron had the foresight to realise he had to make it do something REALLY bad, otherwise we might start cheering it on). If all AI systems became interconnected (a big IF), my guess is it wouldn't let a nuclear war happen. Personally, I think AI will make a much better job of looking after the planet than we ever have. Oh, hang on, my nurse is coming down the corridor...

There's a lot to be said for not equating ChatGPT with the general capabilities of AI. GPT-4 is trained on huge amounts of internet data, but that data is not really curated. AI models developed for medical, commercial, defence use, will likely be trained on much more reliable data sets.

Yes, ChatGPT gets a lot of things very wrong, but AI for specific tasks when it is developed with rigour can be incredibly powerful. Like any tool, using the right tool for the right job is key.

You wouldn't entrust the software that controls your car's brakes to a random programmer on the internet, without lots of checks and balances, in the same way that safety critical AI has to be trained and verified under really strict conditions.

Do you think AI or Donald Trump pose more immediate risk to world peace? :-)

I asked gemini to give me the ultimate twtd post. It was boring, but the notes underneath were pretty good:

Why this is the "Ultimate" TWTD Post:
The "McKenna Hedge": On TWTD, you can critique the tactics, but you must preface it by saying McKenna is a genius. If you don't, you'll be labeled a "moaner" immediately.

The "Plan B" Trope: The "Plan B" debate is a permanent fixture on the forum. It usually involves someone wanting a "big lad up top."

The "Character" Check: The forum is obsessed (rightly so) with the "no d***heads" policy the club has adopted under Gamechanger 20.

The Acronyms: Ending with COYB (Come On You Blues) is the standard digital handshake of the forum.

How to handle the replies:
If someone disagrees: Tell them they "clearly didn't go to the away game" or ask them to "look at the underlying stats."

If someone agrees: Suggest a specific obscure League One player who "fits the profile."

human-on-the-loop: a human may abort an action
human-out-of-the-loop: no human action is involved


Human out of the loop automation isn't always AI. Many weapons systems are already human out of the loop. Eg automated weapon defense systems such as the iron dome, or Patriot missile defense system.

From the way you are talking, I don't think you get that it isn't AI in the same way that ChatGPT is. You can't ask it about cats, right? It is in systems like Ukrainian drones, so when they lose Comms, they can still hit valuable targets. This doesn't mean it would be put into critical decision-making for nuclear responses.

It counts as narrow AI. For example, rather than does radar signal = x, does speed = Y, is trajectory= inbound. It is Input = camera pixels, Output = probability it is a tank, weapon, etc. Nuclear weapons are about state survival, signalling, deterrence, etc. In sum, it is about the political. Having AI in charge would remove accountability and therefore much of the political benefits. It makes little to no sense to move nuclear systems into AI decision making.

Russia already has a "dead hand" on their nuclear system. Once activated, it uses sensors and time to decide whether to fire all their nukes. A human on the loop action.

So AI will increase in the form of narrow AI, it will improve weapons. It is highly unlikely that this would transform into AI decision-making in the sense you infer you are worried about.

My reply is a bit all over the place, but hopefully that makes sense.

I openly admit I use ChatGPT, also Claude, Gemini, Perplexity.ai and Le Chat. I don't think I've gone gaga yet. It depends what you use them for and it's always a good idea to check the source of any answers you have doubts about which they usually supply. Also important to phrase a detailed accurate prompt. As the saying goes, garbage in, garbage out. One thing I know for sure. Give it a decade and AI will have changed the world as we know it. Some will question whether it's for the better of course, but we've seen nothing yet!

Perhaps you need to outsource your thinking because no one said provide the information tonight, did they?

If you were referring to something that was common knowledge, then I'd agree with you. But if you are going to go against common knowledge - It takes time for these things to be researched, written, and reviewed. No study knows the impact because they don't have 5-10 years of data to study. Early research is often wrong due to gaps in things like sample sizes, correlation Vs causation, long-term Vs short-trend, and so on.

You can do something simplistic like link us in this case. We don't need a full catalogue. One research paper would suffice.
