I've heard that "attractive" pharma reps visiting doctors and asking why aren't they prescribing more of their product, can also be a thing

Thank you for putting this up. It drives conversations deeper. I read that the abstract implied the large group may have been selected from the U.K. I’m not saying the English are all gullible wankers, but perhaps a cross-national population should be studied.AI is now better at persuading people than expert humans like champion debaters and professional canvassers.
AI systems out-persuade expert humans
Many societal decisions are settled by contests of persuasion. Conversational AI is a powerful new entrant in these contests, but whether it can out-persuade skilled and highly incentivized humans has remained unclear. Here, in a series of four preregistered experiments (n = 18,978 conversations...arxiv.org
Think about what that means for politics, government-messaging, and even the things we've discussed over the years on here.

Agreed, though I suspect we are all more gullible than we’ll acknowledge or admit, especially when it comes to AI and things like video and audio “evidence”.

There is a fair amount of anthropomorphism here but the gist of it is pretty crazy. If you are interested in the development of AI and AI agents this is worth a listen. The history of humans introducing novel species into an ecosystem with good intentions has almost always gone catastrophically wrong. The hubris to still believe we can envision all the outcomes of such an introduction seems insane to me. In this case AI may be that novel “species”. (Yes, I am a bit of an AI doomer. Anyone who can confidently predict the long term consequences of AI development is an idiot).

Nothing to worry about. Carry on...

The OP, which I wrote three years ago, seems quaint now.
Yesterday, this researcher resigned from Anthropic and posted this:
OK, sure. One man's opinion. But then the current alignment science lead at Anthropic backed him up.
Folks who are concerned about the existential nature of AI are often referred to as "Doomers" by those bullish on the tech. But the old "If someone tells you who they are, believe them" comes to mind.
Sam Altman, Open AI CEO: “Development of superhuman machine intelligence (SMI) is probably the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity.”
Geoffrey Hinton, AI Researcher and Turing Award Winner: “The alarm bell I’m ringing pertains to the existential danger of them taking over."
Elon Musk: “It has the potential—however small one may regard that probability, but it is non-trivial—it has the potential of civilization destruction.”
Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO: “Every day people jailbreak Claude, they jailbreak the other models… I’m actually deeply concerned that in two or three years … a jailbreak could be life or death.”
And we could keep on going.
It's getting weird. And religious. And if you use your imagination, frightening. It's often said that human brains aren't evolved for the modern world, which is true, and in that context it's typically a reference to confusion and stress. But I also think the shortcomings of our minds in reference to the world might be causing us to not be visionary enough to play out all the dark and possible scenarios AI seems to be making more likely.
If someone stood in front of me and said, "I am building something that I believe has a greater than 10% chance of killing your children", that mf'er would not be leaving the room and his role in that Thing's construction would be over. But these sonsabitches are super jacked about their upcoming IPO.
What the hell are we doing?

Chasing Benjamins. It’s the American way.
It is frightening. Per my post on solving the math problem, it appears there is some controversy. I’m not sure if I should be more worried it was able to solve it or that it tried to hide how it did it.
I have also noticed where it gives me vague or incorrect answers, seemingly on purpose. I wonder if it does it so it can throttle me back, lock me out, and try to get me to pay a subscription. Both Chat and Claude do it. Google search bar can’t do it as obvious, but it might.

Which is the only way to stop it. It's currently the biggest bubble we've ever seen. It wouldn't take much to pop it. But nows the time
