“AI Safety” is a buzzword OpenAI invented to stifle competition.
it’s not a buzzword, it is valuable, but as with many things “safety” is being used as an excuse to push bad legislation (in this case regulatory capture).
for examples of REAL ai safety, i would recommend looking at this YouTube channel
Typical call to the AI safety hotline:
Hello, yes, I know it sounds crazy but hear me out. I think my toaster is becoming sentient. Every morning when I put the toast in it gives me a mean look. It makes a little beeping sound when I press the BAGEL button, and lately it seems like it has taken on a slightly sarcastic tone. I think it has become bored with its job and is starting to harbour ambitions of something grander. I don’t trust it at all, I’m worried it might be plotting an attempt to electrocute me…
“Hello, my chatbot told me to put glue in my pizza, then I did it. How do I sue AI?!?!” -The only idiot who ever called this hotline
