As the OpenAI's newly unveiled ChatGPT machinery turns into a viral sensation, humans have started to discover some of the AI's biases, like the desire to wipe out humanity:
Yesterday, BleepingComputer ran a piece listing 10 coolest things you can do with ChatGPT. And, that doesn't even begin to cover all use cases like having the AI compose music for you [1, 2].
[...] As more and more netizens play with ChatGPT's preview, coming to surface are some of the cracks in AI's thinking as its creators rush to mend them in real time.
Included in the list is:
- 'Selfish' humans 'deserve to be wiped out'
- It can write phishing emails, software and malware
- It's capable of being sexist, racist, ...
- It's convincing even when it's wrong
Also, from the New York Post:
ChatGPT's capabilities have sparked fears that Google might not have an online search monopoly for much longer.
"Google may be only a year or two away from total disruption," Gmail developer Paul Buchheit, 45, tweeted on December 1. "AI will eliminate the search engine result page, which is where they make most of their money."
"Even if they catch up on AI, they can't fully deploy it without destroying the most valuable part of their business!" Buchheit said, noting that AI will do to web search what Google did to the Yellow Pages.

'Selfish' humans 'deserve to be wiped out' (Gaia proponents believe this, too)
It can write phishing emails, software and malware (so can humans)
It's capable of being sexist, racist, ...(so are humans)
It's convincing even when it's wrong (so are many humans)
why do we expect anything humans create to be 'better' or 'nicer' than humans?

Because it's running on faster, parallelizable hardware? If it's programmed to machine-learn and goal-seek towards better and nicer, why not?

He described the _opposite_ of religion, if current major religions are anything to go by.

A great statement I saw recently about these AI models are that they are trained on the corpus of the Internet, which includes every dumb and stupid authoritative statement ever made. I would love to see the training set to see if there are markers added in to the training like "this guy's an idiot", "this guy's a asshole", "this guy's a troll", etc.

That wouldn't actually be helpful without knowing which of those "you're being an idiot" statements are reasonable assessments. To put it bluntly, no ML algorithm (and damn few humans, apparently) can do that reliably.
Even more difficult, and much more important is the, "that's a stupid thing to say and you're being disingenious" problem.
What this boils down to is, none of this is possible without extensive human intervention, which makes it very much not ML.
AI is a myth, and epistemology is NP hard.
Offended and laughing about it.

It is better _than_ humans, because it can scale better than humans.
That being said, it's not better _for_ humans though. it's definitely worse.
