Cybersecurity expert Roger A. Grimes says that AI chatbots will soon become so advanced that it will be challenging to tell them apart from human beings.
Artificial intelligence chatbots will soon be so realistic that it will be hard to differentiate them from humans.
A cybersecurity expert thinks that Open AI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini will only improve over time and could be hard to tell apart from people – although this should be considered a positive development.
Roger A. Grimes, a defence evangelist at the security company KnowBe4, told The Sun: “There is absolute certainty that chatbots and AI-enabled chatbots are going to get better and better over time.
“Yes, it will become more difficult over time to tell if you are talking to a human or a chatbot. And as it becomes more difficult to tell, that’s a good thing.”
Advanced AI presents security perils to many but Grimes has emphasised that chatbots becoming more humanlike is ultimately beneficial.
He explained: “It means we are getting the help we desired and needed… faster.
“Who doesn’t want that? The whole reason most of us want a human to help us today versus a chatbot isn’t all that helpful. It just wastes our time and causes additional frustration.
“But as they become more popular, it means they will be more capable of solving more of our problems in a timely manner.
“If a chatbot is going to solve my problem and I don’t have to wait longer for a human, I’d prefer the chatbot.”
Grimes thinks that chatbots aren’t at the required level to help humans with complex problems and warned that the world will have to go through a period of “pain” until AI can do so.
He said: “The problem is that we are feeling the pains of the transition period where the chatbots aren’t so awesome. Especially when dealing with less popular requests and problems.
“But over time, the chatbots will get trained to handle less common problems and scenarios and get us to the right solution quicker.
“That will leave humans free to handle truly unusual scenarios that require a more intelligent hand.”
