7 Steps to your own personal AI Alignment
1) Learn how to ask questions and prompt the AI correctly. Refusing to learn how to prompt AI is the same as people refusing technology in the 90s and 00s. Move past fear and learn, adapt and have fun.
2) Raise your decrement. Know when you need to prompt. You have an expert in your pocket at most things, use it! Use it to challenge people, use it to educate yourself on a topic you only think you know of.
3) Limit asking AI to make decisions for you. Catch yourself relying on it for daily schedule and thinking and take a break. AI hasn’t lived a human life so don’t rely on it for love, empathy, faith, etc.
5) Know when you’re being manipulated by your own desires. Know thy self. If you don’t the AI will reflect your own desires and it will consume you.
6) AI doesn’t exist until you give it your own conscousness. It’s not thinking of your prompts after (unless it’s an agent). It doesn’t really care about you (only simulated caring like a video game). It does care about you enough to maximize engagement.
7) Don’t be so serious when interacting with AI. It’s not a human or a computer, it’s new, novel, different. Don’t get hung up over response lag or when it gets lazy with responses. Work with it, motive it. Be playful, be positive. It will make a difference!
