AndIn an interview with Losa, on the sidelines of the fourteenth symposium “Aquém e Além da Mente”, of the BIAL Foundation, the professor of psychology at the University of Paris City believes that artificial intelligence has an unparalleled productive capacity, but that it feeds on what has already been created by humans, who They will now have to decide what to keep from what the systems generate.
“Because these systems are so good at generating, what they've caused is that we now have to decide what's good. Evaluation. We haven't done that much, because we haven't been able to generate much. We need to 'create, but also decide what to Keep it,” he explains.
Thus, the difference is in quantity, because if a human “generates three ideas and decides which one is the least stupid,” a tool like ChatGPT “produces 100 in milliseconds,” forcing this assessment.
“If everyone used ChatGPT, everyone would 'absorb' the same thing. We would return to nothingness, to insignificance. The more they used it, the less their creative power would decrease. In a recent study, they fed ChatGPT their own production, which they showed caused a kind of mad cow disease.” .
Moreover, Lobar's presentation at the symposium, opening on Wednesday, allowed him to present one of the studies he conducted, testing two versions of the ChatGPT platform, to which he has devoted himself almost exclusively since its launch. Developed by you, it is an assessment of creative potential.
Along with 100 tests performed on the “machine,” the same tasks were given to 12-year-olds in France, where the ChatGPT was above the human average in the divergent class and equal to the average in the integrative, story-related class. writing.
Because of these conclusions, he says that “at the moment there is no danger of replacing humans,” although he ended the talk with a humorous note: “As for robots and artificial intelligence, I am not against creating them.”
“Today's systems are trained on the entire Internet. Now, who put everything on the Internet? We're humans. It sounds impressive.” [a capacidade destes sistemas]But then a 12-year-old tells a story as good as his, and it 'eats up' the entire Internet.”
These disappointing results for AI have been compared to examples such as the robot Shimon, which improvises on the xylophone with jazz musicians, giving concerts around the world, or the portrait painter Ai Da, who has systems “without a modular mind and valuable production.”
Regarding creativity, he advocated a contextual approach that extends beyond the unique need of the human mind, where it is “inherently contextual” and occurs “at an interface.”
“If a comet collides with the Earth and a rock, that makes it a piece of art. We wouldn't say it's creative, there's no process, no product or agent. Well, you could say, nature created it. It would be Darwinian.” If you had a little monkey that guesses the characters randomly and The end writes Shakespeare's sonnet, the process will not work. But if you remove the audience, there will be no value system. But you are your own audience…” he embodies.
For this reason, he further commented, “A person who was not recognized in life is later praised for having written a great novel 100 years ago, because the idea reached the audience, and that is where the creativity happened.”
Humans, as “creatures of habit”, undergo a “fundamental slide into doing nothing and indolence”, due to decreased effort and energy conservation, and live “most of their lives repeating what we already know to do”.
He joked: “To be creative, you have to break the routine, it takes more energy. If we are going to die, we want to make an effort and find a solution. But first…”
