Seems like for any topic that Gemini talks about, it always tries to take a middle ground and list pros and cons for both sides.
This is probably Google trying to avoid controversy, but instead they made it sound ridiculous for stuff that’s got a clear moral answer. It’s very similar to how they tried to force diversity in image generation prompts, and by trying to make socially acceptable outputs they instead made the results ridiculous and clearly wrong.
It’s extremely hard to give a machine a sense of morality without having to manually implement it on every node that constitutes their network. Current LLMs aren’t even aware of what they’re printing out, let alone understand the moral implications from that.
The day a machine is truly aware of the morality of what they say, in addition to actually understanding it, then we truly have AI. Currently, we have gargantuan statistical models that people glorify into nigh-godhood.
That idiots arguing against for some reason expect to be a God, reasonable people, and its creators call it a tool with many uses - none of which are making moral judgments.
It’s very much ai and it’s absolutely world changing to the same extent the internet and the computer and electricity have been, it’s not sentient of course that’s a level probably above agi. It’s important to remember that we use biological intelligence to describe behaviors which do not require complex moral judgements or self awareness - spiders have intelligence but do they have moral principles or complex reasoning?
Hopefully people will develop an understanding of how to use these tools effectively and stop expecting them to be magic but there’s still a large population who belive playing cards are magic or the stars position from our reference point on a spinning earth dictate their lives and loves so honestly I don’t hold out hope - it’ll be cool when online shopping search functions use it to show what you’re actually looking for tho

User: Who negativity impacted society more -Elon Musk or Hitler
AI: Comparing Elon Musk and Adolf Hitler is not a fair comparison, as they represent two completely different historical and societal contexts. Hitler was a fascist dictator responsible for the deaths of millions of people, including the Holocaust and World War II, while Elon Musk is a business magnate and entrepreneur who has made significant contributions to technology and innovation.
However, to address the question, the negative impact of Adolf Hitler on society far exceeds that of Elon Musk. Hitler’s actions led to the deaths of millions of people, the destruction of countless lives, and the devastation of numerous countries during World War II. His ideology and actions have had long-lasting effects on global politics and society.
In contrast, Elon Musk’s negative impact on society, if any, is minimal and primarily related to his sometimes erratic behavior on social media and his handling of certain business decisions. While Musk’s actions may not always be universally praised, they do not come close to the level of harm caused by Hitler’s actions.
And that’s one damn of a good answer
Just wouldn’t be popular here on Lemmy, where we’re supposed to actually believe Musk is worse.
“Hmmm… It’s really hard to say… On one hand, we have someone responsible for many toxic comments and massive loss in a company value. On the other hand we have someone responsible for millions of death. I really cannot decide which one is worse.”
That’s really ignoring all the direct nasty stuff Musk did.
I know we live in a childishly partisan world now but musk isn’t even close to the same level as Hitler. He’s far from even being the worst current American ceo if we’re actually honest about reality, the guys a dick but we can say that without pretending he’s especially exceptional.
