How AI Can Help Humanity Reason Better (with Oly Sourbut)

Do we need to improve in order for this system to work?

Future of Life Institute Podcast
How AI Can Help Humanity Reason Better (with Oly Sourbut)

Yeah, it might be increasingly tempting for anyone basically working at a computer to hand over more and more tasks to these systems, and perhaps to hand it over in a way that is not fully thought out.

So maybe you have to present something to your boss tomorrow, and you haven't really prepared anything.

And so you

You throw something together using a model.

And this is not really how you get the most out of these systems.

Future of Life Institute Podcast
How AI Can Help Humanity Reason Better (with Oly Sourbut)

But again, I'm thinking this is sort of a human weakness.

And so are people really trying to get the most out of these systems as they currently exist?

Or is the bottleneck perhaps what we are trying to do with them as opposed to what they can become and can do?

And perhaps we can then have norms and rules if you are high up in governments or high up in corporations for how to use these tools best or when they should be used.

It seems to me that at the moment you can also become dumber by using AI more.

Your output can also become worse.

But it depends on what you're producing.

If you're a lawyer producing a standard contract, an NDA or something, that might be doable by models.

If you're producing a very high stakes, complex contract between building dollar corporations, that's a different story and you would get fired for AI generating that.

Future of Life Institute Podcast
How AI Can Help Humanity Reason Better (with Oly Sourbut)

How do you see sort of, is it just the higher the stakes, the more you have to think about whether you should use models and perhaps you should not?

Future of Life Institute Podcast

But then it seems that the higher the stakes are, the more we should want these tools to help us.

How AI Can Help Humanity Reason Better (with Oly Sourbut)

And we shouldn't just... Yeah, for sure.

Is this just at a societal level?
