Well, that's reassuring.

as well the overall AI landscape. While most of the interview is mostly a word salad of Silicon Valley terms, Altman did give his thoughts on the best and worst-case scenarios for artificial intelligence.

Altman said that he thinks"the best case is so unbelievably good that it's hard for me to even imagine" and that it could help"resolve deadlocks and improve all aspects of reality and let us all live our best lives." "I think that the good case is so unbelievably good; you sound like a really crazy person when you talk about it."

As for the worst-case scenario, Altman gave a less-than-sunny response to the potential dangers if and when AI goes bad."The bad case—and I think this is important to say—is, like, lights out for all of us," Altman said."I'm more worried about an accidental misuse case in the short term." Altman stressed that it's not an issue of"AI wakes up and decides to be evil," but rather that it's"impossible to overstate the importance of AI safety and alignment work" in order to prevent abuse of the systems, intentional or otherwise., including ChatGPT, that can be used to commit plagiarism, write phishing emails, and spread misinformation, as well as legal issues involving copyrights with AI art generation. Frustratingly, Altman didn't get into specifics.
