A planetary population of completely gullible fuckwits that believe a fancy search engine is capable of anything beyond fevered hallucinations…
…well SHIT.
What would it take to make Gemini suitable to be president of the world?

You’d have to offer free lobotomies first.

Why are people downvoting this “No Stupid Questions” post?
Apeman42@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Because it’s one thing to not shame ignorance, and quite another to entertain people who are being deliberately obtuse.

It’s certainly reasonable to offer a charitable interpretation of the question. Rather than assume mal-intent.
“What would it take for an AI to be given governance over the world?”
Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
A huge amount of people on social media are conditioned to hate everything AI to the point where even asking a genuine, non-critical question gets you downvoted. A large part of this is people who haven’t really thought deeply about the subject - they’ve just absorbed the popular sentiment from the spaces they hang out in. AI is often seen as a symbol of big, greedy, unethical corporations, so any engagement with it is treated as suspect by default.
On top of that, there’s also a kind of tribal signaling at play. Being anti-AI has become a way for some to show they’re on the “right side” of issues like workers’ rights, art ownership, or tech overreach. So even curiosity can be read as siding with the enemy.

probably some way to extert real power, like if it controlled a vast sum of money
and it would need to have a bunch of really complex economic models and tons of computing power
no simple answer to this, I like the question btw

A general AI would be very good at playing the stock market.
But Gemini is not a general AI and it’s dumb as fuck. (As are all LLMs)

Honesty, empathy and respect.
Good luck ever convincing me an LLM has any of those. I’m not even convinced most of humanity does.

Good luck convincing me a human world leader has any of those.

LLMs have way more empathy and respect than humans do
Which makes sense, they’re not trained on our actions - they’re trained on our words
Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
LLMs have way more empathy and respect than humans do
LLMs are almost certainly unable to feel either of those emotions. Their responses are definitely more empathetic and respectful than those of your average social media commenter, but that doesn’t imply they have any subjective experience of such emotions.

- The singularity happening
- it (the machine consciousness) by some twist of fate being belevolent towards us
- we, by another twist of fate, are unable or unwilling to destroy it out of ignorance
- the stars align and we allow it to become involved in governance and administration
And then it still needs to be able to dismantle capitalism to allocate resources efficiently and where needed and not hoarded to increase the power of a select few.

I don’t see how a star sign would be able to run for office.

I think if you ask “what would an ideal world president look like?”, you’ll get an answer to your question. The qualities that make for a good human leader should be the same as that which make a good AI leader.

Considering we have no consensus on what a suitable human president would be, I’m not sure how we can give parameters for a machine version.
Steve@communick.news 3 weeks ago
I’m not sure that would be very difficult if we tried. The current issue in picking a human global ruler, is that it would require super human traits. By definition no human could satisfy them. But a sufficiently advanced AI might.

I disagree. The current issue is picking mutually exclusive contradictory traits.
One person will one religious freedom. Another will want a theocracy. Both of those cannot be true at the same time.
