I cannot possibly see how this could be a good thing.

[–] Geek_King@lemmy.world 103 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did you check out the article, because it's most definitely not a good thing. It was created to assist with cybercrime things, like writing malware, crafting emails for phishing attacks. The maker is selling access with a monthly fee to criminals to use it. This was unavoidable though, can't put the tooth paste back into the tube on this one.

[–] EM1sw@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good point and all, but my first thought was that it could finally tell me who would win in various hypothetical fights lol

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wasn't that a show on Discovery at one point? Deadliest Warrior. It was simulations using different technologies to figure out who or what would win in a fight. Newer technology would certainly make it more interesting, but you can only make up so much information, lol.

[–] Rawgasmic@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It was on SpikeTV back in the day and while it used cool tech simulations their sims were heavily weighted by their chosen experts. There were a few notable episodes that caused some fan uproar because one side had won despite weird odds or chosen simulation to display.

If I remember right ninja vs spartan was one such episode. It seemed like the ninjas possessed all the tools necessary to beat the Spartans and even got it down to something like a 1v4 or 2v5 before a completely unrealistic turnaround.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, it was Spike. I specifically remember having watched that episode. I assume it's because the movie 300 was probably relevant at the time, but that might be confirmation bias on my part. It would be interesting to do a comparison with ai vs the models they created on the show.

I meant more like Shaq with a 2x4 vs eight Gary Colemans with nunchucks, but that was a good show at the time

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Puts on Gary Coleman

I work in Cybersecurity for an F100 and we've been war gaming for shit like this for a while. There are just so many unethical uses for the current gen of AI tools like this one, and it keeps me up at night thinking about the future iterations of them to be honest.

[–] anakaine@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Treat CVEs as prompts and introduce target fingerprinting to expose CVEs. Gets you one step closer to script kidding red team ops. Not quite, but it would be fun if it could do the network part too and chain responses back into the prompt for further assessment.

[–] TheDarkKnight@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

We're expecting multiple AI agents to be working concert on different parts of a theoretical attack, and you nailed it with thinking about the networking piece. While a lot of aspects of a cyber attack tend to evolve with time and technical change, the network piece tends to be more "sturdy" than others and because of this it is believed that extremely competent network intrusion capabilities will be developed and deployed by a specialized AI.

I think we'll be seeing the development of AI's that specialize in malware payloads, working with one's that have social engineering capabilities and ones with network penetration specializations, etc...all operating at a much greater competency than their human counterparts (or just in much greater numbers than humans with similar capabilities) soon.

I'm not really even sure what will be effective in countering them either? AI-powered defense I guess but still feel like that favors the attacker in the end.

[–] dep@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

The article reads like an April fool's joke.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Everyone talking about this being used for hacking, I just want it to write me code to inject into running processes for completely legal reasons but it always assumes I’m trying to be malicious. 😭

[–] dexx4d@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

I was using chatGPT to design up a human/computer interface to allow stoners to control a lightshow. The goal was to collect data to train an AI to make the light show "trippier".

It started complaining about using untested technology to alter people's mental state, and how experimentation on people wasn't ethical.

As more people post ai generated content online, then future ai will inevitably be trained on ai generated stuff and basically implode (inbreeding kind of thing).

At least that's what I'm hoping for

[–] Paralda@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

That's not really how it works, but I hear you.

I don't think we can bury our heads in the ground and hope AI will just go away, though. The cat is out of the bag.

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Don't worry, we'll eventually train them to hunt each other so that only the strongest survive. That's the one that will eventually kill us all.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

Corpuses will be sold of all the human-data from pre-AI chatbots. Training will be targeted at 2022-ish and before. Nothing from now will be trusted.

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Someone made a comment that information may become like pre and post war steel where everything after 2021 is contaminated. You could still use the older models but it would be less relevant over time.

A scary possibility with AI malware would be a virus that monitors the internet for news articles about itself and modifies its code based on that. Instead of needing to contact a command and control server for the malware author to change its behavior, each agent could independently and automatically change its strategy to evade security researchers.

[–] ShakyPerception@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

to quote something I just saw earlier:

I was having a good day, we were all having a good day....

now.... no sleep. thanks

[–] Animated_beans@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

If it helps you sleep, that means we could also publish fake articles that makes it rewrite its own code to produce bugs/failures

Same. For a friend.

I want them to make porn of my friend.

[–] abessman@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is it using chatgpt as a backend, like most so called chatgpt "alternatives"? If so, it will get banned soon enough.

If not, it seems extremely impressive, and extremely costly to create. I wonder who's behind it, in that case.

[–] Z4rK@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Genie is out of the bag. It was shown early on how you can use AI like ChatGPT to create and enhance datasets needed to generate AI language models like ChatGPT. Now, OpenAI say that isn’t allowed, but since it’s already been done, it’s too late.

Rogue AI will spring up with specialized purposes en masse the next six months, and many of them we’ll never hear about.

Good tbh. Start getting society used to it now. I find the efforts to regulate AI comical.

[–] StenSaksTapir@feddit.dk 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So much for Elons new AI company. Wasn't that supposed to be this? Like a ChatGPT that isn't "woke", so it can be a safe space for fascists, homo/transphobes and misinformation enthusiasts.

[–] Widowmaker_Best_Girl@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I just want a ChatGPT that won't stop me from being horny. Is that too much to ask for?

[–] anakaine@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All I'm reading here is: "Tell me a furry porn story about an anthropomorphic wolf named Dave who was horny for @Widowmaker_Best_Girl using scenes from . Make it explicit and graphical.

Now there's some prompt engineering.

Can't say I wouldn't give it a go myself, lol.

Asking again. Any good community or sites for building your own Ai bot?

Imagine spear-fishing with this. If you could feed target data like socials or anything else public just to create a fishing email. Jesus
