Trevor Noah is playing safely and can be very good at AI chatbots, and ultimately becomes the downfall of humanity.
While talking to Ezra Klein on the podcast “What Now? Trevor Noah” earlier this week, the original “Daily Show” host explained why he is always kind to AI whenever he interacts with it. It sums up to hedging some bets with future apocalyptic chances.
“Have you ever tried to remove AI? That's one of my favorite things,” Noah said. “It feels like we all live in a world where we are so angry. I try to do the opposite. So I say that. I say, “It's a great answer. You're really great. I love the way you think. This is so much fun.” And it becomes like “I'm having a good time.” I like to see how far I can go down this like a rabbit hole. ”
He continued by saying that he would apply Pascal's bets to his interactions with AI. “I don't think that being AI leads to apocalypse. I think it's awful in many ways, and maybe it's awful in other ways. “Man, just right.”
Pascal's bet is a philosophical idea from the French philosopher Blaze Pascal. He considered whether a person has a belief in something like a particular god, whether he had the advantage of simply choosing it or saying he believes it. Noah chose to implement AI and its thought process when it becomes the future.
Klein explained that he will take another tactic when interacting with AI. He wants to hear it is as mean as possible for him.
“I'm always like, 'Are you mean to me?” “You don't need to be too glazed when you have questions. You don't have to be mean, but isn't that true?”
