An AI couldn’t beat humans at StarCraft, so it decided to cheat
www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/1004543/openai-gpt-cheat-starcraftI’m so sick of the humanising language used in these articles.
An LLM doesn’t “decide to cheat”.
If you instruct a model to try everything, then inevitably, after n million iterations it will do something you didn’t expect.
If you train a model to copy code bases and augment them, then when you instruct that model to develop a bot to do whatever thing, is it really that fucking surprising when it does exactly what it has been created for?

If you’re into something like physicalism, then human intelligence is also just an emergent quality and we have about as much free will as the machines.
It’s fun to ask people what reasoning they used to choose the foods they don’t like and then watch them try to say that the inability to choose what they like isn’t related at all to anything else choice or decision based. 😂
