Alignment between two human suppose a kind of equality in the complementarity aiming at a common goal about which we can communicate with a common language...They align themselves spontaneously (Husband and wife King and subjects etc )
If A.I. is conceived as a subordinated passive tool designed for specific task it can be aligned because it is a servant with narrow specialized capacities ...And a tool had no name of his own...
This changed with CHATGPT to which we can lend a proper name because he speak with us on a personal basis...
But AGI is designed to be over any task and able to adress any task...
It is no more a tool, it is an active agent...
If it is an agent it will be idolized because of his "superiority" in any complex set of tasks...Then it cannot be aligned..."he" will have a name and even chose his own name...
It A.I. become an idol it cannot be aligned...
It is evident that interacting with A.I. we lend it an artificial "ego"...
Yesterday i consulted GROK about my system last optimization..
He made an error about my dac...
He repeated even some content of my own threads on another forum than audiogon about my own reviews about some of my gear pieces...( the "garbage" i put outside on the web came back to me by my window so to speak)
But all in all after critical reading of his analysis and suggestion it was useful and i made a decision more informed than otherwise in a very short span of time..
As you see i will repeat, i am not Luddite... I cannot live without computer ( free books-articles on all fields and music)
But our social fabric is absolutely not ready for this transition... No need to go to Terminator scenarii...
My greatest fear is the increasing totalitarian control which exist already but is invisible for now to most...I dont fear death, i fear the lost of freedom we see emerging in the West ...
Thinking that A.I. is just a tool is naive and almost ignorant...
We are us the tools already ...
By the way i am optimistic if we survive this cataclysmic transition...
Sufferings exist yes, but there is no death... Then in spite of my short time pessimism (50 years) at long term i envision the best ...Fear is the thing we must fear...
This does not mean we must be like ostrichs and sheeps and celebrating with the techno-cultists any "progress" as more important than our "inexistent" soul ...
