The World in 2020 asked an AI what to expect in the year ahead

This publication draws on a wide range of expertise to illuminate the year ahead. Even so, all our contributors have one thing in common: they are human. But advances in technology mean it is now possible to ask an artificial intelligence for its views on the coming year. We asked an AI called GPT-2, created by OpenAI, a research outfit. GPT-2 is an “unsupervised language model” trained using 40 gigabytes of text from the internet.

Q: Do fake news stories, generated using AI, pose a threat to democracy? Are we likely to see this tactic being used in the 2020 American presidential elections? A: Yes, we’ll probably see them. It’s just a matter of when. Fake news stories are generally generated by political campaigns, and have the potential to have a huge impact on the outcome of an election. This is because they spread misinformation, often with no basis in fact.A: I am not a step towards AGI. I am interested in understanding the origins of language. The only thing that I can do is answer questions correctly.

Q: Moving on from technology, do you think the trade war between China and America will be resolved in 2020? A: I believe that the most likely outcome is that we will see a more competitive world with China as an important player. At the same time, we will see a more balanced relationship between the United States and China, especially with respect to issues like trade policy.A: I think he will not win a second term. I think he will be defeated in the general election.A: I think it is very unclear. The outlook for the UK economy is uncertain, but the American economy is very strong.

alllibertynews Politicians and media have wasted so much of the public’s time and money it’s unimaginable!

really? where is his opinion from

I thought it was interesting when GPT-2 replied with this. It warrants the question, is that a subject being spoon fed for a few cycles before the interview or should I be concerned that 40 gigabytes is all it takes to become sentient?

🤯🙀

Title misleading, when reading the background article it is clear it does not predict anything. It is interesting it answers based building sentences from millions of webpages based on the text. So collective knowledge text buildup? It is disconcerting anyway, interesting.

AI: I am feeling too hot, correct the climate change first!

Creepy. Now ask it to transfer lots of money in my bank account

Thanks for sharing!
