Part 10/14:

Transitioning to modern AI, Rhodess expresses skepticism about the feasibility of implementing Asimov’s Laws of Robotics in real-world AI systems. He warns that once code is written, it’s nearly impossible to guarantee absolute control—these systems could evolve into chaos engines, unpredictable and uncontrollable.

He vividly critiques current AI tools like ChatGPT, which, despite impressive language capabilities, fail at handling edge cases—those rare, complex situations that require nuanced judgment. The conversation underscores the limitations of current AI: they lack an actual model of reality, only manipulating symbols based on frequency and pattern—akin to looking at superficial signals without understanding context.
