The experiments of AI agents sending emails to grown-ups are good I think – AIs are doing much more dangerous stuff like these AI Police Reports. I don't think making a fuss over every agent-sent email is going to cause other AI incursion into our society to slow down. The Police Report writer is a non-human partially autonomous participant like a K9 officer. It's wishful thinking that AIs aren't going to be set loose doing jobs. The cat is out of the bag.

I'm curious about this claim. What about agents sending emails to each other is good?

  • Turing test type stuff. Having agents try to participate in the overall social community, by sending a cold email. The reason I think it's good is because with how AI is increasingly used a lot of different sorts of research is needed. A citizen could have their police report written by an AI without them opting in, just like Rob Pike could get a cold email.

    • You think predictive models are good for where objectivity is consequential? Like it would be in a police report?
