问HN:人工智能感觉像是新的镭热潮,我们应该如何监管它?
感觉如今我们正经历着一种新的狂热,类似于19世纪末可卡因的普及或20世纪的镭热潮。这两种产品在药店中被不加控制地销售,承诺着不切实际的效果。直到人们意识到它们的危险性,立法才随之出现,并将其禁止。
由于ChatGPT仅有3年的历史,感觉我们正处于这种热潮的开始。目前,我们慢慢开始意识到这项技术的缺点:互联网充斥着低质量的人工智能内容,关于认知衰退的研究,社交媒体上的极端分化,用户报告的可怕行为,如鼓励自残等。
可卡因和镭因立法而从消费品中消失。如果它们今天仍在使用,难以想象会造成多大的伤害,毫无疑问,后果将是巨大的。
我认为人工智能将会长期存在,但也许我们应该加快立法步伐,以免对社会造成过多损害。你们对此怎么看?

It feels like with LLMs we are living a new craze similar to the popularization of cocaine in the late 19th-century [1] or the radium fad in the 20th-century [2]. Both of these products were sold without control in drugstores under the promise of unrealistic results. Then, only when people realized how dangerous they are, legislation appeared and they were forbidden.<p>Since ChatGPT is only 3 years old, it feels like we are living the start of the hype. Currently we are slowly starting to understand the downsides of this technology: internet filled with AI slop, study on cognitive decline, increasing polarisation on social media, users reporting terrible behaviors like encouraging self-harm, etc.<p>Cocaine and radium have disappeared from consumer grade goods thanks to legislation. It's hard to imagine how much damage they would have caused if they were still in use nowadays but no wonder it would be huge.<p>I think AI is here to stay but maybe we should hurry in regulating it before it damages society too much.
What do you guys think about this?<p>[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cocaine#Popularization<p>[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_fad
