Artificial Intelligence#
Since the release of ChatGPT in December 2022, artificial intelligence, or more specifically LLM, is going to or has already changed lives. I should have written this earlier because I started using ChatGPT in December when it was just released, but I was lazy and didn't write.

Although Copilot is included in the Github Student Pack, I haven't used it. Because I still consider myself a beginner, it's better to write code by myself as much as possible.

In the software engineering introduction class, which is more focused on literature, most people are doing their own things. When I looked up, I found at least three people using ChatGPT, and then I thought about this wall, haha.

The container proxy issue tormented me all day. I searched a lot and opened many tabs, but couldn't solve it. It was solved by a single sentence from ChatGPT.
What was the biggest feeling at that time? Helplessness? Maybe.

Today in class, I suddenly had an idea, mainly because I saw a classmate using ChatGPT frequently. Then I thought, using ChatGPT in class can conveniently get answers to my doubts, which is equivalent to having a teaching assistant for everyone.

I came across this passage while browsing a blog:
I’m still incredibly ambivalent about the ethics of Copilot specifically and the modern crop of AIs (GPT-3, DALL-E, Midjourney, StableDiffusion, Whisper, …) more generally. These systems are as great as they are because they’ve ingested a massive amount of training data without any sort of consent from creators. The fact that nobody working on creating these AIs seems to give a shit about consent gives me hives. I may still become an “AI vegan”. But I’ll likely keep using Copilot for a bit while I grapple with the ethics.
I remember that StableDiffusion and other image generation models are more controversial in terms of the training dataset, but I have seen less about ChatGPT. After thinking about it, I think this difference can also be understood. The term "AI vegan" mentioned in this blog post is quite interesting.

I was very excited while sleeping, and I had many ideas, but I can't remember them now.

I remembered some of them.
I am very interested in the development of artificial intelligence and have confidence in it. If my employment is affected by its development, I believe I should not complain about AI. Because it means that I cannot create what AI can create.
But one thing I cannot accept is not being able to use such good technology and fast development. That would be a pity.

The emergence of this concept, I think it is a situation that is bound to occur when technology accumulates to a certain extent. Using the ChatGPT API, a relatively practical application can be created without high technical skills. This example may not be very appropriate, but I think it is indeed a phenomenon.

I read Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior, where they attempt to create believable proxies for human behavior. Recently, I have been studying operating systems, and many ideas and strategies in OS can be found in daily life. Conversely, some of the ideas used can also help us make better decisions in life (there should be examples here). I think research on believable proxies for human behavior can also have this effect. Furthermore, I thought that research on AI, the development of related technologies, will also change some habits and thought patterns. I tried to make a few comparisons to the impact of previous technological revolutions on human lifestyles, but I couldn't come up with good examples for a while. This is recorded here.

Today I read Elden Ring PvP and Theory of Mind. The author explains the concept of Theory of Mind and also talks about AI language models. It made me think about the continued development of LLM that I have seen before, which may have a similar effect to mind reading, being able to predict what you will do next or even what you are thinking. I think this is feasible to some extent. Because many of the so-called mind reading techniques nowadays are based on observing microexpressions and analyzing past behavioral patterns and experiences.
