Surely, there are many realistic ways to abuse this powerful technology, the creation of a self-aware Paperclip Maximizer is not necessarily required.

Very much not necessary. You clearly haven't played the paperclips game.

Well the point is that you do not need to; it would just be an optimization opportunity.

The user isn't required to use it - it's an option

RobotToaster | karma 4418 | avg karma 3.16 · | 2023-03-14 14:34:46

You don't need AI for that anyway.

Perhaps it is, but you don't have to reproduce the work of your direct colleagues.

dagw | karma 25328 | avg karma 2.79 · | 2021-11-18 02:03:50

Perhaps, but you don't have to know or care about that that to use it.

Those 3 methods aren't at all necessary for most objects you'll create and use.

We don't need it, so we don't use it. I think it's fantastic that it's possible, and I think that if you do need it, it's great to have it.

Why? There's no need to use some game-theoretic machine for getting data when you can just get it direct from the source.

You don’t need AI for something that is on the surface anyway.

As with almost all things, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THAT FEATURE.

Well-designed or not, it exists, and sometimes you just want to use it, without a lecture on how it's suboptimal.

The whole point of the post was exactly not using it, so it doesn't matter how simple or complex it happens to be.

sjg007 | karma 6164 | avg karma 0.98 · | 2017-05-15 21:15:11+00:00

You don't need AI tor that.

zurn | karma 2456 | avg karma 1.92 · | 2013-10-16 16:49:49+00:00

It's also not generally necessary.

opless | karma 754 | avg karma 1.01 · | 2020-01-30 09:59:16

Most use cases there is just no need.

CaptainHiggins | karma 33 | avg karma 11.0 · | 2019-04-18 15:31:05

Just because the features exist does not mean you have to use them.

Sebb767 | karma 7572 | avg karma 3.75 · | 2020-07-16 17:36:34

Sure, it is, and that's why you may not require one. But I can see why people would want that, even with no malicious intention, which was your question :)

ralmeida | karma 337 | avg karma 1.26 · | 2017-05-24 17:47:05

Or by hand. Does not mean there's no value in a streamlined solution.
