Comment on OpenAI Quietly Deletes Ban on Using ChatGPT for “Military and Warfare”

Literally no one is reading the article.

The terms still prohibit use to cause harm.

The change is that a general ban on military use has been removed in favor of a generalized ban on harm.

So for example, the Army could use it to do their accounting, but not to generate a disinformation campaign against a hostile nation.

If truly really read the article, we could have a productive conversation around whether any military usage is truly harmless, the nuances of the usefulness of a military ban in a world where so much military labor is outsourced to private corporations which could ‘launder’ terms compliance, or the general inability of terms to preemptively prevent harmful use at all.

Instead, we have people taking the headline only and discussing AI being put in charge of nukes.

Lemmy seems to care a lot more about debating straw men arguments about how terrible AI is than engaging with reality.

Economic warfare causes harm.

Does AI get banned from financial arenas?

    I guess, but I never got hooked on any of the big social media sites, and the few I did (reddit mostly) I limited myself to rather non-political subjects like jokes and specific kinds of content. I’m new to Lemmy and this is most of what I’ve been seeing, which is why I said that.
    
    Obviously I know that this is what all social media looks like these days. I hoped Lemmy would have at least some noticeable vocal minority of balanced people, but nah.

Is this legal harm, moral harm, or whatever they define as harm?

The point is that it’s a purposeful slow walk, the entire “non-profit” framing and these “limitations” are a very calculated marketing play to soften the justified fears of unregulated, for-profit ( I.e. Endless growth) AI development. It will find its way to full evil with 1000 small cuts, and with folks like you arguing for them at every step along the way, “IT’S JUST A SMALL CUT!!!”
