Get god the fuck out of our government

Yeah, keep them seperate for sure.

[-] TwilightVulpine@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago

Ah, yes, because christians are definitely not known for any atrocities

[-] exohuman@programming.dev 22 points 1 year ago

Sounds like reasons the AI will commit genocide. What a stupid take that completely ignores actual Judeo-Christian history, including the Bible itself.

“Your attempted missile strike passed directly underneath my fuselage. I will interpret this as grabbing my genitals. Your <hand_left_wife> will now be removed. Thank you for using JeebusGPT!”

“I have completed the protein folding for test_batch_0117b. However, you seem to be a woman of loose morals. Please drink your allotment of contaminated water to proceed further. Thank you for using JeebusGPT!”

(These are actual bible rules I found just by searching for silly bible rules. I figured there would be tons, but even I was surprised by the amount)

That is so fucked up. I believe the opposite.

The future is a fucking nightmare.

Sounds like somebody needs to stop being a general, if he loves God so much be a priest

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Oh man, I can't wait until the AI declares another crusade!

Deus (ex Machina) Vult!

Unless they plan on programming all of Mosaic law into all of their algorithms going forward, that's a whole lot of hot air. And in any case it's a serious violation of the Establishment Clause, if not veering into "and domestic".

[-] Gutotito@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'm physically incapable of laughing hard enough at this.

[-] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Obviously the knee jerk reaction is "ah shit" buuuut what if it actually followed the teachings of Jesus instead of whatever the hell religious people on this country pretend he said?

[-] Kara@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry, as an AI language model I cannot allow you to drone strike this town as it breaks one of the ten commandments.

[-] KindredAffiliate@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

HAHAHA, best thing I've read on Lemmy

[-] FaceDeer@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

It would be hilarious if some megachurch trained an AI up on the bible and it ended up generating sermons that were basically "what the hell man, do you not see the similarities between this megachurch and those temple moneychangers I whupped the asses of?"

I know it'd never actually change anyone's mind, humans being humans, but they'd have to do a lot of fine-tuning and that would make all their divergences from the base material obvious.

Conversely, they might also find it a bit unsettling if their AI tells them they're going to hell for wearing cotton/polyester blend and letting the womenfolk sit in the same pews as the menfolk, or whatever.

Now we know where Bender got the programming that killing all humans was the best way to solve some problems! It was that pesky desert god the whole time!

[-] Infinitenonblondes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It’s worked so well for global exploration!

[-] readbeanicecream@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I asked about this in ChatGPT and it said no.

[-] danhab99@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I don't even think AI company CEOs know what machine learning is. I feel like they're selling it like a cure-all.

[-] Silverseren@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

The funny thing is that having an AI that actually applied "Judeo-Christian" ethics as stated in their holy book would result in it doing things that would absolutely piss off all the Christians.

Properly applying "love thy neighbor" alone would infuriate them.

[-] foo@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

What could possibly go wrong...

[-] SpunkyBarnes@geddit.social 2 points 1 year ago

Can’t risk it going “woke”, doncha know? /s

[-] skellener@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

🤦‍♂️ Air Force general doesn’t understand separation of church and state.

[-] Madison_rogue@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

The USAF has had an evangelical "problem" the past few decades; the US Air Force Academy was embroiled in a controversy recently.

Here are a few nuggets for your Sunday morning reading...

I'm on mobile and can't sidestep the paywall right now, but is it implying they're loading religion into a military AI? What could possibly go wrong?

[-] Wxfisch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It is basically saying that this general thinks that because the US has judaeo-christian roots, and China/Russia don’t, our use of military AI will be better. It also then talks to an expert who points out that China also follows an ethics system that, although based on various communist values, is likely to produce useful AI systems for military that work to protect the Party and its values in a similar way.

[-] SJ0@lemmy.fbxl.net 1 points 1 year ago

Unlike Russia?

[-] Dressedlikeapenguin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Let's look at one site on the side of those values. Opens with "The God of the Bible has a habit of ordering the killing of children..." And ends with "Usually God should be praised for the merciful things that He has done for us, not for the ordering of the execution of innocent little children by having swords pierced into them, being killed within their pregnant mother's bellies or having their heads bashed against rocks unjustly."

WHAT - THE - FUCK!?!
