The Backlash will be coming soon
DANGEROUS GenAI? TRUE OR DEEP FAKE?
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/dangerous-genai-true-or-deep-fake-b2fbdbba93ed
Bernard Marr just published Generative AI in
Practice (1), which brings together the matter he has been dealing with on
his blogs: Artificial Intelligence from the simple practical point of view of a
user along with a systematic question about what can the consequences be for
the various jobs these users have? But the book is always schematic when it
shows the negative consequences will not compare with the positive
consequences, though bad or good, they will require a lot of changes in the way
we work, the jobs available, and the mindset of the users.
Bernard Marr does not insist so much on the negative
sides of GenAI, but he does list them, particularly all sorts of cheating by
using GenAI to replace one’s own writing work, all types of misuse of the
intellectual property of such mechanical production of text, images, videos or
any other copyrightable product that the user presents as his/her own.
But he does not enter the details, and thus he remains
superficial. The problems of misinformation, hallucination, and bias are a lot
less important, even with deep fakes, though Bernard Marr remains superficial
on such dangers. He considers these GenAI products more like patentable or
trademark problems, which they are but that’s the only side or point of view of
the businesses using this technology.
At the present moment, lawsuits are emerging on the
Intellectual Property front with people getting ready to go to court for
unauthorized use of protected data and items within LLMs, or the use of voices,
slightly synthesized (hence plagiarism and plain theft) as commercial products
sold with an unshared profit. I will concentrate, in the second part, on
chapter 10 on education to enter some details I know from the practice of
self-learning at many levels of the educational system. (2)
