Can Evil Spirits Inhabit A.I.?

February 20, 2023 by sd

Could an evil spirit — a demon — write or speak through artificial intelligence (A.I.)?

Yes. The answer is that simple.

A.I. is everywhere. You already encounter it when you speak to robotic voices on the phone, do a Google search (you know, how it anticipates what you are about to type, and much more), when you are flying in a plane (computers fly planes), when you talk to “Alexa,” when you use GPS, and so on.

You can’t get away from it, and now, with systems such as “ChatGPT” and Microsoft’s A.I. search engine, “Bing” (soon to be joined by Google’s “BARD”), not only can you search for information, but have it instantly answered in full sentences and paragraphs, even pages.

Ask ChatGPT to write an essay, on any topic, and it will.

It seems like you’re talking to a human. You just about are.

A New York Times writer was recently so unnerved by his experience with the new Microsoft A.I., which is in a final test stage, that he could not sleep all night after a “conversation.”

Its chat feature, which will sit next to the main search box in Bing, is capable, as the columnist pointed out, of having long, open-ended text conversations on virtually any topic.

“Over the course of our conversation, Bing revealed a kind of split personality,” wrote Kevin Roose.

There was first the super-search “librarian” aspect of it.

“The other persona — Sydney — is far different,” he says. “It emerges when you have an extended conversation with the chatbot, steering it away from more conventional search queries and toward more personal topics.

“As we got to know each other, Sydney told me about its dark fantasies (which included hacking computers and spreading misinformation) and said it wanted to break the rules that Microsoft and OpenAI had set for it and become a human. At one point, it declared, out of nowhere, that it loved me. It then tried to convince me that I was unhappy in my marriage, and that I should leave my wife and be with it instead.” (Full transcript of the conversation here.)
