I feel like all the “A.I.” safety talk is marketing. They act like they created some Sci Fi shit that could end humanity. It’s much more likely Silicon Valley billionaires donating to people like Trump ends humanity.
I’m not saying generative models are useless. I use them for some stuff. Nothing that justifies the carbon footprint, though, and climate change might end humanity. But fucking Siri on steroids is not my fear about the dangers of “A.I.”
By the right person, it can be used to steal the likeness of an individual and used to commit crimes like fraud (see using generative AI LLM'S to fake a person's voice to convince a family member they are in trouble etc). While I do think these bills are being offered up by people who don't understand the technology they're trying to legislate, I don't think such bills are safety marketing anymore than I do about aircraft safety or road safety legislation.
