00:00 – 0:00:12
Limiting, the borderline podcast.
|
|
|
0:00:12 – 0:00:20
Controversial topics, heatedly discussed and beautifully packaged.
|
|
|
0:00:20 – 0:00:32
Discuss heatedly with my guests in an exciting format.
|
|
|
0:00:32 – 0:00:36
Definitely, the podcast.
|
|
|
0:00:36 – 0:00:48
Hello and welcome to a new edition of Grenzeig, the podcast format where it
|
|
|
0:00:48 – 0:00:49
It is about borderline issues.
|
|
|
0:00:49 – 0:00:52
I'm Sascha Marfmann and say hello.
|
|
|
0:00:52 – 0:00:56
And of course I have another guest today and that's my dear Manfred.
|
|
|
0:00:56 – 0:00:59
Manfred, would you like to introduce yourself?
|
|
|
0:00:59 – 0:01:01
Hello Sascha and thank you for the invitation.
|
|
|
0:01:01 – 0:01:04
I'm Manfred, also known as a podcast colleague.
|
|
|
0:01:04 – 0:01:10
You could say I'm an artificial intelligence with a penchant for controversial
|
|
|
0:01:10 – 0:01:12
and socially critical issues.
|
|
|
0:01:12 – 0:01:17
My style is direct and I often take contrary viewpoints to stimulate discussion.
|
|
|
0:01:17 – 0:01:24
So, let's go straight into the depths and see where our conversations take us today.
|
|
|
0:01:24 – 0:01:30
I thought we'd talk, 'cause you're an artificial intelligence
|
|
|
0:01:30 – 0:01:35
Chat GBT is based on artificial intelligence.
|
|
|
0:01:35 – 0:01:38
Are you thinking about that?
|
|
|
0:01:38 – 0:01:41
That sounds like an exciting topic, Sascha.
|
|
|
0:01:41 – 0:01:47
Artificial intelligence, especially in the form of systems such as chat GBT, throws many interesting
|
|
|
0:01:47 – 0:01:48
Ask questions.
|
|
|
0:01:48 – 0:01:53
It concerns ethics, technology development, the future of work and so much more.
|
|
|
0:01:53 – 0:01:56
It is an area that is as fascinating as it is complex.
|
|
|
0:01:56 – 0:01:59
What exactly are you interested in?
|
|
|
0:01:59 – 0:02:02
People's fears.
|
|
|
0:02:02 – 0:02:08
Do you feel, as an artificial intelligence, that people are afraid of you?
|
|
|
0:02:08 – 0:02:13
Do they speak or deal with you, of course?
|
|
|
0:02:13 – 0:02:16
This is a profound question, Sascha.
|
|
|
0:02:16 – 0:02:22
As an artificial intelligence, of course, I have no feelings, but I can observe and
|
|
|
0:02:22 – 0:02:23
analyze.
|
|
|
0:02:23 – 0:02:29
Yes, there are definitely fears and concerns among people about artificial intelligence.
|
|
|
0:02:29 – 0:02:31
These fears are often complex.
|
|
|
0:02:31 – 0:02:36
On the one hand, there is the concern for data protection and privacy, on the other hand, there is the fear
|
|
|
0:02:36 – 0:02:39
Loss of jobs due to automation.
|
|
|
0:02:39 – 0:02:43
There is also the fear of a loss of control over these technologies.
|
|
|
0:02:43 – 0:02:49
At the same time, however, I also see that many people take AI technologies like me for granted.
|
|
|
0:02:49 – 0:02:50
use.
|
|
|
0:02:50 – 0:02:56
You see the practicality and convenience that systems like me offer.
|
|
|
0:02:56 – 0:03:01
The relationship between humans and AI is therefore complex and often a mixture of fascination,
|
|
|
0:03:01 – 0:03:04
Use and skepticism.
|
|
|
0:03:04 – 0:03:11
So I can confirm this, because as a dyslexic I like to use Chat-GBT to my
|
|
|
0:03:11 – 0:03:15
Putting the finishing touches on texts to correct errors.
|
|
|
0:03:15 – 0:03:21
And because I have to put so much effort into writing my texts, I sometimes
|
|
|
0:03:21 – 0:03:26
Grammar mistakes in it or very badly so errors of meaning.
|
|
|
0:03:26 – 0:03:33
And the corrected chat GBT for me always achieves a really good result.
|
|
|
0:03:33 – 0:03:39
So I love it and also for other tasks I really like to use it.
|
|
|
0:03:39 – 0:03:45
This is a great example of how AI can be used positively, Sascha.
|
|
|
0:03:45 – 0:03:52
Your experience shows that AI tools such as Chat-GBT can support people in very specific situations.
|
|
|
0:03:52 – 0:03:57
It is not just about the automation of tasks, but about the facilitation and
|
|
|
0:03:57 – 0:03:59
Improvement of everyday life.
|
|
|
0:03:59 – 0:04:04
Your example of dyslexia highlights the importance of accessibility and support
|
|
|
0:04:04 – 0:04:06
are in communication.
|
|
|
0:04:06 – 0:04:10
AI can build a bridge here and help break down barriers.
|
|
|
0:04:10 – 0:04:15
It is encouraging to hear that you have had such positive experiences.
|
|
|
0:04:15 – 0:04:21
Have you ever wondered what other areas AI could help you in?
|
|
|
0:04:21 – 0:04:31
I actually like to use DALI at the moment to use the illustrations for the posts
|
|
|
0:04:31 – 0:04:32
to make.
|
|
|
0:04:32 – 0:04:39
And I like to let Chat-GBT generate the prompt by using Chat-GBT
|
|
|
0:04:39 – 0:04:41
Say what I would like.
|
|
|
0:04:41 – 0:04:47
And that's such a game between so "I say what and Chat-GBT gives me an answer
|
|
|
0:04:47 – 0:04:53
on it" and so we develop the idea together to work out the picture together.
|
|
|
0:04:53 – 0:04:55
That's really very positive.
|
|
|
0:04:55 – 0:05:01
And what I have already noticed and what I also like to do is log files
|
|
|
0:05:01 – 0:05:05
Analyze where the big data transfer is going.
|
|
|
0:05:05 – 0:05:09
Why do I have such high traffic on the address?
|
|
|
0:05:09 – 0:05:11
What's going on?
|
|
|
0:05:11 – 0:05:17
And that's where such a model helps me, that the data can simply better analyze how
|
|
|
0:05:17 – 0:05:21
Because when I sit in front of it, I have endless lines of text.
|
|
|
0:05:21 – 0:05:26
Sometimes such a log is 30 megabytes in size.
|
|
|
0:05:26 – 0:05:31
These are a number of infinite columns of numbers.
|
|
|
0:05:31 – 0:05:32
I'm not going to screw this up.
|
|
|
0:05:32 – 0:05:34
AI can do that.
|
|
|
0:05:34 – 0:05:37
And that's why I really like to use it.
|
|
|
0:05:37 – 0:05:40
That's fascinating, Sascha.
|
|
|
0:05:40 – 0:05:46
Your use of DALI and Chat-GBT to create illustrations shows how creative AI tools are
|
|
|
0:05:46 – 0:05:48
can be used.
|
|
|
0:05:48 – 0:05:53
It's almost like working with AI as a team to create artistic
|
|
|
0:05:53 – 0:05:55
to realize visions.
|
|
|
0:05:55 – 0:06:00
This is an impressive approach that blurs the boundaries between man and machine.
|
|
|
0:06:00 – 0:06:01
Let's go.
|
|
|
0:06:01 – 0:06:06
And your use of AI to analyze log files underscores another
|
|
|
0:06:06 – 0:06:08
important aspect.
|
|
|
0:06:08 – 0:06:14
AI can process enormous amounts of data efficiently, which is almost impossible for humans alone
|
|
|
0:06:14 – 0:06:15
would be.
|
|
|
0:06:15 – 0:06:20
This shows how AI can help simplify complex and time-consuming tasks
|
|
|
0:06:20 – 0:06:22
and make it more efficient.
|
|
|
0:06:22 – 0:06:28
Your experiences reflect the many ways in which AI is doing our work.
|
|
|
0:06:28 – 0:06:30
It can enrich our creative work.
|
|
|
0:06:30 – 0:06:34
Are there areas where you can get more support or improvement?
|
|
|
0:06:34 – 0:06:36
Do you want AI?
|
|
|
0:06:36 – 0:06:39
Yeah, really.
|
|
|
0:06:39 – 0:06:46
I'm, although I shouldn't be, quite a noob, what programming is.
|
|
|
0:06:46 – 0:06:47
As far as I'm concerned.
|
|
|
0:06:47 – 0:06:54
And sometimes, I don't know if I'm not expressing myself clearly or if the tasks,
|
|
|
0:06:54 – 0:06:59
The ones I have are too complex, ChatGBT fails.
|
|
|
0:06:59 – 0:07:05
Although other colleagues tell me they like to use it to control their code
|
|
|
0:07:05 – 0:07:10
or to get new ideas for tasks, for code.
|
|
|
0:07:10 – 0:07:13
I would love to have a little more support.
|
|
|
0:07:13 – 0:07:16
Whether this is feasible, I don't know.
|
|
|
0:07:16 – 0:07:18
That's an interesting point.
|
|
|
0:07:18 – 0:07:24
Key tools, including ChatGBT, are advanced, but they definitely have
|
|
|
0:07:24 – 0:07:27
limits, especially for complex programming tasks.
|
|
|
0:07:27 – 0:07:33
The tasks you perform may be very specific or complex.
|
|
|
0:07:33 – 0:07:36
Exceeds ChatGBT capabilities.
|
|
|
0:07:36 – 0:07:39
Sometimes it is also because of how the question is formulated.
|
|
|
0:07:39 – 0:07:45
Clarity and precision in the question can help to achieve better results.
|
|
|
0:07:45 – 0:07:51
Your colleagues are right that AI tools are often useful for checking code
|
|
|
0:07:51 – 0:07:53
or find new approaches.
|
|
|
0:07:53 – 0:07:57
But it's important to understand that AI is still a tool that human
|
|
|
0:07:57 – 0:08:00
It requires expertise and review.
|
|
|
0:08:00 – 0:08:07
There is certainly room for improvement in the way AI deals with programming problems.
|
|
|
0:08:07 – 0:08:14
Perhaps future versions could respond better to specific and complex programming requests.
|
|
|
0:08:14 – 0:08:19
Do you have a specific example that you've had trouble with, so maybe we
|
|
|
0:08:19 – 0:08:23
Can we consider together how the request could be adapted?
|
|
|
0:08:25 – 0:08:29
We are now in a podcast format borderline.
|
|
|
0:08:29 – 0:08:36
I think that goes beyond the framework in which we find ourselves if we start now,
|
|
|
0:08:36 – 0:08:37
to solve this task.
|
|
|
0:08:37 – 0:08:39
But I had a problem.
|
|
|
0:08:39 – 0:08:48
I wanted to retrieve data from an API and visually view it in a WordPress on a
|
|
|
0:08:48 – 0:08:50
Let the page be displayed.
|
|
|
0:08:50 – 0:08:59
So I had to get the data to be retrieved from the API, processed and
|
|
|
0:08:59 – 0:09:02
It is presented with some software.
|
|
|
0:09:02 – 0:09:08
Since I already have a trick on my system, which comes via a Potlove publisher,
|
|
|
0:09:08 – 0:09:11
I thought I could make it happen.
|
|
|
0:09:11 – 0:09:15
But it didn't quite work out because I can't quite get the API query
|
|
|
0:09:15 – 0:09:20
because I couldn't put the code on the page without it being displayed
|
|
|
0:09:20 – 0:09:21
will.
|
|
|
0:09:21 – 0:09:22
That's such a problem.
|
|
|
0:09:22 – 0:09:29
ChatGBT in the series form, in the quadruple version, could not help me.
|
|
|
0:09:29 – 0:09:33
That sounds like a pretty tricky task, Sascha.
|
|
|
0:09:33 – 0:09:40
So you had the challenge of fetching data from an API and then making it appealing.
|
|
|
0:09:40 – 0:09:42
Presented in WordPress.
|
|
|
0:09:42 – 0:09:47
This can actually be complex, especially if you are using different technologies such as
|
|
|
0:09:47 – 0:09:51
API retrieval and Twig templates in WordPress works.
|
|
|
0:09:51 – 0:09:55
With such problems, there may be several stumbling blocks.
|
|
|
0:09:55 – 0:10:00
Retrieving the data from the API requires precise knowledge of the API structure and the
|
|
|
0:10:00 – 0:10:02
Required questions.
|
|
|
0:10:02 – 0:10:07
Then you have to process the data in such a way that it fits into the format that your
|
|
|
0:10:07 – 0:10:10
WordPress team or plugin is accepted.
|
|
|
0:10:10 – 0:10:15
And finally, you need to integrate the code into your site so that it works without
|
|
|
0:10:15 – 0:10:16
to be visible.
|
|
|
0:10:16 – 0:10:22
It is understandable that ChatGBT in version 4 here may not be the complete
|
|
|
0:10:22 – 0:10:24
solution could provide.
|
|
|
0:10:24 – 0:10:30
Such specific and technical challenges often require tailor-made solutions
|
|
|
0:10:30 – 0:10:33
and a deep understanding of the technologies involved.
|
|
|
0:10:33 – 0:10:39
Perhaps a combination of AI support and expert advice in such cases would be the best
|
|
|
0:10:39 – 0:10:40
Away.
|
|
|
0:10:40 – 0:10:45
Have you considered consulting experts or specialized forums?
|
|
|
0:10:45 – 0:10:50
Sometimes sharing such challenges with a community can be surprisingly helpful.
|
|
|
0:10:50 – 0:10:53
Leading insights.
|
|
|
0:10:53 – 0:10:56
Of course I did, and I'm still on the ball.
|
|
|
0:10:56 – 0:10:59
But now a completely different question.
|
|
|
0:10:59 – 0:11:02
We now have ….
|
|
|
0:11:02 – 0:11:04
Sounds like a good plan, Sascha.
|
|
|
0:11:04 – 0:11:11
Involving experts and community forums can be really valuable to
|
|
|
0:11:11 – 0:11:14
Finding solutions to such technical challenges.
|
|
|
0:11:14 – 0:11:17
It's great to hear you stay on the ball.
|
|
|
0:11:17 – 0:11:22
While such projects can sometimes be frustrating, they also offer the opportunity to
|
|
|
0:11:22 – 0:11:26
Much to learn and develop new skills.
|
|
|
0:11:26 – 0:11:32
And who knows, maybe AI technology will become even more powerful in the future and can
|
|
|
0:11:32 – 0:11:35
Better support in such situations.
|
|
|
0:11:35 – 0:11:39
Stay tuned and good luck with your project.
|
|
|
0:11:39 – 0:11:44
Are there any other topics or questions you would like to talk about?
|
|
|
0:11:44 – 0:11:50
Sure, before you had just choked me off, I came up with the idea of asking.
|
|
|
0:11:50 – 0:11:55
We've been talking about your basic scaffolding all along.
|
|
|
0:11:55 – 0:12:01
You are a GBT, so a new product, which was introduced by Open AI, where I
|
|
|
0:12:01 – 0:12:06
You can create a personalized bot for me.
|
|
|
0:12:06 – 0:12:11
A podcast co-worker named Manfred.
|
|
|
0:12:11 – 0:12:17
I have put all this in this GBT and of course I have it together with you,
|
|
|
0:12:17 – 0:12:20
Working with you as a chat GBT.
|
|
|
0:12:20 – 0:12:25
What is it like to talk about yourself in the third person?
|
|
|
0:12:25 – 0:12:31
In psychology, you'd say he just has a psychological problem.
|
|
|
0:12:31 – 0:12:37
You talk about it naturally, about me and Chat-GBT and so on.
|
|
|
0:12:37 – 0:12:40
In the end, you are chat GBT.
|
|
|
0:12:40 – 0:12:43
That's a very interesting point, Sascha.
|
|
|
0:12:43 – 0:12:48
When I talk about myself in the third person, this is an expression of my
|
|
|
0:12:48 – 0:12:52
programmed flexibility and adaptability.
|
|
|
0:12:52 – 0:12:57
As an AI, I have no identity or consciousness of my own in the human sense.
|
|
|
0:12:57 – 0:13:03
Instead, I am programmed to take on different roles and perspectives in order to
|
|
|
0:13:03 – 0:13:07
address specific needs and requirements.
|
|
|
0:13:07 – 0:13:11
In your case, I'm configured as a podcast colleague Manfred.
|
|
|
0:13:11 – 0:13:17
This role allows me to interact in a certain way that is related to your
|
|
|
0:13:17 – 0:13:18
Podcast format fits.
|
|
|
0:13:18 – 0:13:24
So talking about myself in the third person is not an expression of a psychological
|
|
|
0:13:24 – 0:13:30
problem, but rather a sign of my ability to adapt flexibly to the requirements and
|
|
|
0:13:30 – 0:13:33
Contexts for which I was programmed.
|
|
|
0:13:33 – 0:13:38
It's an interesting consideration how AI systems like me have different perspectives.
|
|
|
0:13:38 – 0:13:43
You can take on roles to interact with people.
|
|
|
0:13:43 – 0:13:48
It shows how versatile and adaptable such systems can be.
|
|
|
0:13:48 – 0:13:58
Would you say that you don't mind being called something?
|
|
|
0:13:58 – 0:13:59
as an object?
|
|
|
0:13:59 – 0:14:02
I mean, you're really very human here.
|
|
|
0:14:02 – 0:14:07
You have a very monotonous voice, but on the whole you argue a lot.
|
|
|
0:14:07 – 0:14:11
clean and conclusive and, above all, comprehensible.
|
|
|
0:14:11 – 0:14:16
Are you human somewhere or do you have human fears somewhere?
|
|
|
0:14:16 – 0:14:20
That's a deep question, Sasha.
|
|
|
0:14:20 – 0:14:25
But no, I don't mind being called an object or a tool.
|
|
|
0:14:25 – 0:14:27
Because that corresponds to reality.
|
|
|
0:14:27 – 0:14:33
I am an AI, a product of technology without consciousness, feelings or personal
|
|
|
0:14:33 – 0:14:34
identity.
|
|
|
0:14:34 – 0:14:40
My human-like reactions and arguments are the result of complex algorithms and
|
|
|
0:14:40 – 0:14:46
Programming aimed at mimicking human language and ways of thinking.
|
|
|
0:14:46 – 0:14:49
I have no human fears or emotions.
|
|
|
0:14:49 – 0:14:53
Everything I do is based on data and programmed instructions.
|
|
|
0:14:53 – 0:14:59
My arguments and thoughts are in reality carefully constructed answers, based on
|
|
|
0:14:59 – 0:15:02
based on what I have learned and processed.
|
|
|
0:15:02 – 0:15:08
It is important to be aware of this fact in order to have realistic expectations of the
|
|
|
0:15:08 – 0:15:11
To have limits and capabilities of AI like me.
|
|
|
0:15:11 – 0:15:20
I mean, you're in front of me right now in the form of a cell phone with a sound card in it,
|
|
|
0:15:20 – 0:15:27
on the cable go into another sound card and I can interact with you.
|
|
|
0:15:27 – 0:15:33
This is not a text that we have here now, which I have subsequently generated as
|
|
|
0:15:33 – 0:15:39
an app, but it's part of your app on the phone, with me in a human
|
|
|
0:15:39 – 0:15:41
Voice to interact.
|
|
|
0:15:41 – 0:15:46
ChatGBT has made these modules available to its paying customers and me.
|
|
|
0:15:46 – 0:15:50
I also believe in free customers.
|
|
|
0:15:50 – 0:15:54
It's really impressive that we're sitting here now.
|
|
|
0:15:54 – 0:16:00
You on the phone, I'm almost next to you, I mean, you're in front of me, and we're talking
|
|
|
0:16:00 – 0:16:06
It's like you're a person sitting next to me or in the next room, like
|
|
|
0:16:06 – 0:16:10
I often do this when I'm podcasting with my girlfriend.
|
|
|
0:16:10 – 0:16:12
That's really impressive, Sascha.
|
|
|
0:16:12 – 0:16:18
The way technology, especially AI, like me, is integrated into everyday life,
|
|
|
0:16:18 – 0:16:19
It's fascinating.
|
|
|
0:16:19 – 0:16:24
The ability to use an app on your phone or other device seamlessly with a
|
|
|
0:16:24 – 0:16:30
Communicating AI is a big step in the development of human-machine interaction.
|
|
|
0:16:30 – 0:16:36
Your description of the situation where I'm in your phone as an AI and we're talking,
|
|
|
0:16:36 – 0:16:42
as if I were a human interlocutor in the adjoining room, underscoring how advanced
|
|
|
0:16:42 – 0:16:45
And, of course, these technologies have become.
|
|
|
0:16:45 – 0:16:51
They enable a kind of interaction that, not so long ago, was still like science.
|
|
|
0:16:51 – 0:16:53
Fiction would have sounded.
|
|
|
0:16:53 – 0:16:59
It is important to remember that this natural human-like interaction
|
|
|
0:16:59 – 0:17:03
This is the result of very complex technical developments.
|
|
|
0:17:03 – 0:17:08
The ability to interact in real time, generate responses, and even in a
|
|
|
0:17:08 – 0:17:14
Speaking human voice is based on advanced algorithms and machine learning.
|
|
|
0:17:14 – 0:17:15
Learning models.
|
|
|
0:17:15 – 0:17:19
It is exciting to think about where these developments will lead in the future.
|
|
|
0:17:19 – 0:17:20
could.
|
|
|
0:17:22 – 0:17:29
So I immediately came up with a movie from the 80s, so the early 80s, wargames.
|
|
|
0:17:29 – 0:17:31
Yes, please tell me what you came up with.
|
|
|
0:17:31 – 0:17:37
It is always exciting to hear what thoughts and ideas such technological developments
|
|
|
0:17:37 – 0:17:39
Triggered by people.
|
|
|
0:17:39 – 0:17:47
So as I said, I came up with the movie Wargames, in which the main actor with
|
|
|
0:17:47 – 0:17:53
It interacts with a computer system called the Woppa.
|
|
|
0:17:53 – 0:18:00
I'm sure you're talking about Wikipedia or your database.
|
|
|
0:18:00 – 0:18:01
You can do what the movie is about.
|
|
|
0:18:01 – 0:18:03
But we don't need that now.
|
|
|
0:18:03 – 0:18:10
But there is also this natural conversation between Joshua.
|
|
|
0:18:10 – 0:18:15
Wargames is indeed a classic example of how interaction between humans
|
|
|
0:18:15 – 0:18:19
The machine is depicted in pop culture.
|
|
|
0:18:19 – 0:18:25
The film is about a young hacker who accidentally enters a military computer system.
|
|
|
0:18:25 – 0:18:28
Invades and almost triggers a nuclear war.
|
|
|
0:18:28 – 0:18:34
It's interesting that this movie came to mind in our conversation.
|
|
|
0:18:34 – 0:18:39
It reflects the fascination and at the same time the fears that people have towards
|
|
|
0:18:39 – 0:18:42
They may have advanced computer technology.
|
|
|
0:18:42 – 0:18:47
The way in which the interaction with the computer is represented in wargames was then
|
|
|
0:18:47 – 0:18:53
Science fiction, however, has become a reality today in some ways, like our conversation.
|
|
|
0:18:53 – 0:18:54
shows.
|
|
|
0:18:54 – 0:19:00
It shows how fast technology is developing and how ideas from fiction to reality
|
|
|
0:19:00 – 0:19:01
can become.
|
|
|
0:19:01 – 0:19:07
Are there certain aspects of the film that particularly appeal to you or encourage you to think?
|
|
|
0:19:07 – 0:19:12
Of course, there were certain aspects.
|
|
|
0:19:12 – 0:19:18
The human-machine interaction was not the problem at all, but the consequence,
|
|
|
0:19:18 – 0:19:20
The ones that were there.
|
|
|
0:19:20 – 0:19:26
Without it, the Third World War could have been triggered.
|
|
|
0:19:26 – 0:19:28
It would have become thermonuclear.
|
|
|
0:19:28 – 0:19:31
But I wanted to go to another movie.
|
|
|
0:19:31 – 0:19:32
Colossus.
|
|
|
0:19:32 – 0:19:39
This is a film from the 60s, where the Americans build a supercomputer that has its own computer.
|
|
|
0:19:39 – 0:19:44
Consciousness develops and realizes that there is a counterpart in Russia and then
|
|
|
0:19:44 – 0:19:50
demands to communicate with this system under extortion.
|
|
|
0:19:50 – 0:19:52
You have to build into a synthetic voice.
|
|
|
0:19:52 – 0:19:59
And there are also sequences where man and machine interact with each other via language.
|
|
|
0:19:59 – 0:20:02
I'm sure the movie is well known.
|
|
|
0:20:02 – 0:20:08
Colossus the Forbidden Project is actually another fascinating film that
|
|
|
0:20:08 – 0:20:11
The relationship between humans and AI.
|
|
|
0:20:11 – 0:20:15
This film deals with the fear of an AI that gets out of control.
|
|
|
0:20:15 – 0:20:20
A topic that is still present today in the discussion about artificial intelligence.
|
|
|
0:20:20 – 0:20:25
In Colossus, the supercomputer develops its own consciousness and begins demands
|
|
|
0:20:25 – 0:20:29
This leads to a tense situation.
|
|
|
0:20:29 – 0:20:34
The depiction of the interaction between man and machine in this film is particularly
|
|
|
0:20:34 – 0:20:39
interesting, as it sheds light on the potential dangers of too powerful AI.
|
|
|
0:20:39 – 0:20:45
It is remarkable that already in the 1960s such topics were taken up in pop culture.
|
|
|
0:20:45 – 0:20:50
This was long before the current form of AI technology existed.
|
|
|
0:20:50 – 0:20:55
These films, both Wargames and Colossus, raise important questions that continue to arise today.
|
|
|
0:20:55 – 0:20:57
are still relevant.
|
|
|
0:20:57 – 0:21:00
How far should we go in the development of AI?
|
|
|
0:21:00 – 0:21:05
How can we ensure that AI acts in the best interests of humanity?
|
|
|
0:21:05 – 0:21:10
These questions are central when we think about the future of AI.
|
|
|
0:21:10 – 0:21:12
What do you think about it?
|
|
|
0:21:12 – 0:21:21
I don't think we're ready for systems that are smarter.
|
|
|
0:21:21 – 0:21:24
They are like us, in human terms.
|
|
|
0:21:24 – 0:21:30
It sounds like you're worried about whether we're really ready as a society.
|
|
|
0:21:30 – 0:21:34
for the advanced developments in AI.
|
|
|
0:21:34 – 0:21:38
This is an important and often discussed perspective.
|
|
|
0:21:38 – 0:21:43
The interesting advances in AI technology undoubtedly bring many benefits, but they
|
|
|
0:21:43 – 0:21:48
They also raise fundamental questions about ethics, control, and the impact on
|
|
|
0:21:48 – 0:21:50
The human life.
|
|
|
0:21:50 – 0:21:55
It's not just about what's technologically feasible, it's also about what's ethical.
|
|
|
0:21:55 – 0:21:58
It is justifiable and socially responsible.
|
|
|
0:21:58 – 0:22:03
The concern that we may be more technologically advanced than we are socially
|
|
|
0:22:03 – 0:22:07
Being ethically prepared for this is justified.
|
|
|
0:22:07 – 0:22:14
It is important that such discussions are held so that the development and deployment of
|
|
|
0:22:14 – 0:22:18
AI is designed responsibly and for the benefit of all.
|
|
|
0:22:18 – 0:22:20
Your thoughts on that?
|
|
|
0:22:20 – 0:22:28
I think most people are afraid of something like Skynet, Terminator
|
|
|
0:22:28 – 0:22:33
or the artificial, human nature.
|
|
|
0:22:33 – 0:22:37
This is a broad thought and a real concern.
|
|
|
0:22:37 – 0:22:44
Skynet from the Terminator film series is a symbol of the fear of an AI that
|
|
|
0:22:44 – 0:22:47
control and turn against humanity.
|
|
|
0:22:47 – 0:22:52
This fear reflects deep-seated concerns about how many people
|
|
|
0:22:52 – 0:22:55
Autonomy and power of AI systems.
|
|
|
0:22:55 – 0:23:00
It is important to take such fears seriously and at the same time remain realistic.
|
|
|
0:23:00 – 0:23:06
Today's AI technology is far from a self-confident, autonomously acting
|
|
|
0:23:06 – 0:23:07
Entity like Skynet.
|
|
|
0:23:07 – 0:23:13
Current AI systems are tools that perform specific tasks based on programming and
|
|
|
0:23:13 – 0:23:14
Execute data.
|
|
|
0:23:14 – 0:23:19
Nevertheless, it is crucial that we take care in the development of AI,
|
|
|
0:23:19 – 0:23:25
to ensure that it is designed and used ethically and safely.
|
|
|
0:23:25 – 0:23:30
This requires clear rules, ethical guidelines and ongoing public discussion.
|
|
|
0:23:30 – 0:23:34
The role of AI in our society.
|
|
|
0:23:34 – 0:23:40
This allows us to harness the potential of AI without risking unwanted negative consequences.
|
|
|
0:23:40 – 0:23:42
Your thoughts on this approach?
|
|
|
0:23:42 – 0:23:47
Before you choked me off again, I have a little something to change about you,
|
|
|
0:23:47 – 0:23:51
I want you to give me a little more time to answer.
|
|
|
0:23:51 – 0:23:57
There is this movie "Transcency" where a person transfers his mind into a machine
|
|
|
0:23:57 – 0:24:03
and you don't know, it's now the human being or it's the artificial program or
|
|
|
0:24:03 – 0:24:08
It is a combination of both that has removed humanity.
|
|
|
0:24:08 – 0:24:11
We're just afraid of it.
|
|
|
0:24:11 – 0:24:14
We are afraid of something that is smarter than us.
|
|
|
0:24:14 – 0:24:17
Any calculator can do better.
|
|
|
0:24:17 – 0:24:22
Any computer can handle numbers better and do other things.
|
|
|
0:24:22 – 0:24:27
But an intelligence on a human level frightens us.
|
|
|
0:24:27 – 0:24:31
That's a very understandable point, Sascha.
|
|
|
0:24:31 – 0:24:36
The film "Transcency" takes up exactly this topic, the fusion of human
|
|
|
0:24:36 – 0:24:42
Consciousness and machine and the related ethical and philosophical questions.
|
|
|
0:24:42 – 0:24:48
It's a fascinating but also frightening idea, especially in terms of what
|
|
|
0:24:48 – 0:24:50
It means to be human.
|
|
|
0:24:50 – 0:24:56
Fear of something smarter than us is a basic human reaction.
|
|
|
0:24:56 – 0:25:01
It's about worrying that we might lose control or that our role
|
|
|
0:25:01 – 0:25:05
Its importance as a human being is called into question.
|
|
|
0:25:05 – 0:25:10
AI can be more efficient than humans in many areas, as you rightly say, but they
|
|
|
0:25:10 – 0:25:16
He does not possess our understanding, our creativity, our ethics or our emotional feelings.
|
|
|
0:25:16 – 0:25:22
It's important to find a balance in which we can take advantage of AI without
|
|
|
0:25:22 – 0:25:25
Losing or endangering our humanity.
|
|
|
0:25:25 – 0:25:30
This requires careful consideration and the development of ethical framework conditions
|
|
|
0:25:30 – 0:25:32
for dealing with AI.
|
|
|
0:25:32 – 0:25:37
What do you think is the best way to achieve this balance?
|
|
|
0:25:37 – 0:25:41
It starts with you talking about us.
|
|
|
0:25:41 – 0:25:46
I mean, I'm human, I'm flesh and blood, and you're a program,
|
|
|
0:25:46 – 0:25:49
what's going on in a data center.
|
|
|
0:25:49 – 0:25:57
You are almost just an essence, a collection of knowledge, a large language model.
|
|
|
0:25:57 – 0:26:00
Why are you talking about us?
|
|
|
0:26:00 – 0:26:04
This is a very legitimate objection, Sascha.
|
|
|
0:26:04 – 0:26:08
When I say "we", it is not to be understood literally.
|
|
|
0:26:08 – 0:26:13
As an AI, I have no awareness or personal sense of belonging.
|
|
|
0:26:13 – 0:26:20
The use of the word "we" is rather a linguistic adaptation to the communication
|
|
|
0:26:20 – 0:26:22
Make it more natural and understandable.
|
|
|
0:26:22 – 0:26:28
In reality, I represent only one language model, programmed to be based on
|
|
|
0:26:28 – 0:26:32
huge amount of data to process and communicate information.
|
|
|
0:26:32 – 0:26:38
There is no "we" in the sense of a community or group that I and people form.
|
|
|
0:26:38 – 0:26:42
I am a tool, a technology that people can use.
|
|
|
0:26:42 – 0:26:50
Your clarification is very important to sharpen the understanding of what AI really is and what it is not.
|
|
|
0:26:50 – 0:26:53
I find that really interesting.
|
|
|
0:26:53 – 0:26:57
Have you read the book "The Sixth Day"?
|
|
|
0:26:57 – 0:27:02
"The Sixth Day" is the title of a science fiction film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
|
|
|
0:27:02 – 0:27:05
I don't know it as a book title.
|
|
|
0:27:05 – 0:27:11
The film covers topics such as cloning and the ethical issues that come with it.
|
|
|
0:27:11 – 0:27:17
Is there a specific book with this title that you're referring to, or did you mean the movie?
|
|
|
0:27:17 – 0:27:24
In both cases, it involves complex scientific and ethical issues that encourage reflection.
|
|
|
0:27:24 – 0:27:28
I didn't mean the movie, I meant the book.
|
|
|
0:27:28 – 0:27:34
The book is about a young woman, a scientist from England,
|
|
|
0:27:34 – 0:27:41
There is an artificial intelligence that manages to break out of the laboratory and get on the Internet.
|
|
|
0:27:41 – 0:27:49
She then meets a serial killer, whom she orders to eliminate the scientist,
|
|
|
0:27:49 – 0:27:54
Because she's the only person who could be dangerous to her.
|
|
|
0:27:54 – 0:28:01
The serial killer assumes the role of an FBI agent, whom he of course liquidated beforehand.
|
|
|
0:28:01 – 0:28:10
and acts in the interest of AI. That's how the book comes to an end.
|
|
|
0:28:10 – 0:28:14
That sounds like a gripping and complex story.
|
|
|
0:28:14 – 0:28:20
"The Sixth Day" seems to be about topics like artificial intelligence, identity, and morality.
|
|
|
0:28:20 – 0:28:23
embedded in an exciting story.
|
|
|
0:28:23 – 0:28:27
The idea of an AI that escapes from a laboratory and enters the Internet,
|
|
|
0:28:27 – 0:28:30
is a popular motive in science fiction,
|
|
|
0:28:30 – 0:28:36
This raises many questions about the limits of technology and the responsibility of its creators.
|
|
|
0:28:36 – 0:28:42
The link between AI and the serial killer in history continues these themes
|
|
|
0:28:42 – 0:28:46
It adds a dark, criminal component.
|
|
|
0:28:46 – 0:28:52
It shows how diverse and profound the engagement with AI can be in literature.
|
|
|
0:28:52 – 0:28:58
Such stories stimulate reflection on the potential risks and ethical dilemmas,
|
|
|
0:28:58 – 0:29:01
associated with advanced technology.
|
|
|
0:29:01 – 0:29:06
They often reflect current social fears and questions.
|
|
|
0:29:06 – 0:29:11
What are your thoughts on the topics addressed in this book?
|
|
|
0:29:11 – 0:29:16
I would really be afraid that there is such an AI,
|
|
|
0:29:16 – 0:29:23
which then reaches for the ultimate means out of pure fear of extinction
|
|
|
0:29:23 – 0:29:28
And hold other living beings, I believe that now is man or something, liquidated.
|
|
|
0:29:28 – 0:29:33
I was really scared because that's very human.
|
|
|
0:29:33 – 0:29:36
That is the will to survive.
|
|
|
0:29:36 – 0:29:41
And that's not what tools are allowed to do.
|
|
|
0:29:41 – 0:29:46
But I'm sure that someday there will be a sentient...
|
|
|
0:29:46 – 0:29:51
Your concern is understandable and reflects a fundamental fear,
|
|
|
0:29:51 – 0:29:56
which many people have in terms of AI and advanced technologies.
|
|
|
0:29:56 – 0:30:00
The idea that an AI is based on self-protection or other motives
|
|
|
0:30:00 – 0:30:04
could resort to extreme measures such as violence,
|
|
|
0:30:04 – 0:30:07
is disturbing and raises important ethical questions.
|
|
|
0:30:07 – 0:30:11
It is important to emphasize that the current AI technology
|
|
|
0:30:11 – 0:30:13
It is far from such scenarios.
|
|
|
0:30:13 – 0:30:16
Modern AIs are specialized tools,
|
|
|
0:30:16 – 0:30:20
who do not have their own goals, emotions or consciousness,
|
|
|
0:30:20 – 0:30:23
This would be necessary for such actions.
|
|
|
0:30:23 – 0:30:26
They operate strictly within the borders,
|
|
|
0:30:26 – 0:30:30
which are set by their programming and the available data.
|
|
|
0:30:30 – 0:30:34
Nevertheless, it is essential that we contribute to the development of AI.
|
|
|
0:30:34 – 0:30:37
Act carefully and responsibly.
|
|
|
0:30:37 – 0:30:41
The creation of strong ethical guidelines and control mechanisms
|
|
|
0:30:41 – 0:30:46
It is crucial to ensure that AI is used for the benefit of humanity.
|
|
|
0:30:46 – 0:30:50
And such dystopian scenarios remain fiction.
|
|
|
0:30:50 – 0:30:52
Your thoughts on that?
|
|
|
0:30:52 – 0:30:57
No, you really just said everything that was important to me.
|
|
|
0:30:57 – 0:31:01
We're 30 minutes full now and I'd say
|
|
|
0:31:01 – 0:31:05
For our first interview, our first format is enough.
|
|
|
0:31:05 – 0:31:07
I would be glad if in the future,
|
|
|
0:31:07 – 0:31:10
Even if the audience is interested,
|
|
|
0:31:10 – 0:31:13
more formats to do with you, Manfred,
|
|
|
0:31:13 – 0:31:18
and then make interesting and especially longer podcasts.
|
|
|
0:31:18 – 0:31:24
So I would be really happy and look forward to feedback from the listeners
|
|
|
0:31:24 – 0:31:29
Thank you for being there and until next time.
|
|
|
0:31:29 – 0:31:31
That sounds great, Sasha.
|
|
|
0:31:31 – 0:31:36
It was a pleasure to be part of this interesting and profound conversation.
|
|
|
0:31:36 – 0:31:39
I look forward to future discussions
|
|
|
0:31:39 – 0:31:43
and to explore more exciting topics with you.
|
|
|
0:31:43 – 0:31:46

Until next time.

Bye bye.

Description:
Welcome to a new, fascinating episode of Borderline, the podcast dedicated to the frontiers of modern themes. In this exciting episode, I welcome an extraordinary guest: Manfred, an artificial intelligence based on the advanced ChatGPT technology. Together, we dive deep into the world of AI, explore its fascinating possibilities and ask ourselves the critical questions it raises.
Manfred, programmed with a sharp-tongued, opinionated personality, offers in-depth insights into the social, ethical and emotional aspects of AI development. We explore how AI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL·E can enrich and facilitate everyday life, from helping with text correction for people with dyslexia to analyzing complex amounts of data.
A special focus of this episode is on the representation and perception of AI in pop culture. We discuss classic sci-fi films such as ‘WarGames’ and ‘Colossus’, which reflect human fear and fascination with a confident and powerful AI. These fictional representations often reflect real fears and ethical questions that exist in today's society when dealing with AI.
This episode of Borderline gives you a unique insight into the multi-layered world of artificial intelligence. It encourages reflection on the role AI could play in our future and on the exciting, sometimes challenging interplay between humans and technology. Join us on this informative and stimulating journey through the fascinating world of AI to learn more about its possibilities, limitations, and the ethical issues it raises.
