There are «risks» to artificial intelligence, but calling AI a «creature» is the stuff of sci-fi movies, Sam Altman told The Advocate.
Sam Altman wants to clear the air about a popular sentiment some might have about artificial intelligence.
In an interview with The Advocate, an LGBTQ+ news publication, the OpenAI CEO said that one of the «biggest misconceptions» about AI is that it is often thought of as a «creature» rather than a «tool.»
«It’s a better movie plot if it’s a creature in a sci-fi movie, for example. If you use ChatGPT, it’s clearly a tool,» he said, later adding that «the popular misconception of AI as sci-fi is very, very different from people who have been using it as a tool for a long time.»
Altman recognized that the tool comes with «risks.» He continued, «But they’re of a different shape and a different kind of profile.»
It’s a bit less alarming than his earlier warnings.
