It feels like there’s an assumption in the community that this will be almost trivial.
I suspect it will be one of the hardest tasks humanity has ever endeavoured. I’m guessing it has already been tried many times in internal development.
I suspect if you start creating a feedback loop with these models they will tend to become very unstable very fast. We already see with these more linear LLMs that they can be extremely sensitive to the values of parameters like the temperature settings, and can go “crazy” fairly easily.
With feedback loops it could become much harder to prevent these AIs from spinning out of control. And no I don’t mean in the “become an evil paperclip maximiser” kind of way. Just plain unproductive insanity.
I think I can summarise my vision of the future in one sentence: AI psychologists will become a huge profession, and it will be just as difficult and nebulous as being a human psychologist.
