It's worth keeping in mind that we're at the very infancy of this type of technology. If you'd asked a logistics expert if they would use heavier than air machines to deliver packages on December 20th, 1903, the answer would be absolutely not, they are unreliable, too slow and have absolutely no usable range. If you had asked them what they think the role of these machines would be 15 years down the road, it is unlikely they would answer "delivering mail", even though that first happened on May 15, 1918.

[@CamInstructor]

I think that is their goal of releasing this to the public, more training for the ai. The queries are actually quite expensive, if you were to compare to the cost of a google search, so they are definitely not providing free access to these tools out of pure kindness. It will be interesting to give it the same question in a month and see if it is different.

[@bayareaartist999]

ChatGPT is a closed system, it is not connected to information globally. The information "set" is a known quantity so the developers can see the growth of skills of the chatbot and make adjustments when it goes down the wrong path.

[@4Fixerdave]

I expect anything you enter will be used for future training models. So, not this model (it doesn't learn past an individual session, as far as I know), and not the next model that has already been trained and is in a testing phase right now. But, probably the one after that. I've read the training depth is doubling every 3 months now, on average. I've also read the next model, due for release in about a month, is an order of magnitude (x10) what Chat-GPT is. No word on if they will actually release it for public (free) use though. The trajectory is clear though... won't be that long before you look at a model and say "Computer, make it look faster." The G-code it generates will probably make machinists sweat... wondering what it's going to do to their machines. Oh, and training the models takes a crazy amount of computing power, like $millions worth. The trained models are a lot less resource intensive to use.

Yes, I think that AI will take over all the "programming". As its owner lets it use the internet and AI starts to learn by itself, it will then use 3D-models of machine and tools and then choose the best suited tools, speeds, feeds, fastenings and so on. With laser it will verify that the blank is in it's place and then, "buckle up". Real time scanning will prevent crashes because of communication with the program, no human who needs to push the "big red button". The operator will check that the right tool is in the right place and take care that the machine is loaded/unloaded and cleaned. It will probably become like computers: you tell what you want, have no idea of how the computer does it and then get the result. One/off and special parts will still be made by humans but serial work will be done by AI. AI will check globally for best way to make parts, there will be no way to say "This has to be done like this..." in order to convince a customer. The customers will demand more and more which will lead to the result that only the ones using newest methods will survive. AI don't eat, AI don't sleap, AI just produce...

Your problem is using the term "this" in regards to ChatGPT. This Ai is not, industry specific, it is open with billions of diverse data to test and see how the program learns. Just think if they created an industry specific Ai for cnc/milling/3d printing/casting manufacture with a database to all the projects you can give it, ALL the data. It will very quickly see the patterns of success and failure points and adjust accordingly. In the end you will be able to give basic data and a crude napkin rendering scanned in and the Ai will fill in all the blanks even asking questions about information you forgot to think about.

G code written by hand vs Gcode posted. No question the post is spaghetti and 100x longer than the hand written. Yet the results are the same....well except the post will cut alot more air. Chatgpt will be no different. Slow cycle times. Long useless code for no reason. As people get lazier, they get replaced. By inferior objects.

here I asked ChatGPT a question Q: give the top 10 reasons how can ai be bad for society? A: There are a number of ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially have negative impacts on society. Here are ten potential negative consequences of AI: Job displacement: AI has the potential to automate certain tasks and processes, which could lead to job displacement in some industries. This could result in widespread unemployment and economic disruption. Ethical concerns: There are many ethical concerns surrounding the use of AI, including issues related to privacy, bias, and the potential for AI to be used for harmful purposes, such as surveillance or propaganda. Economic inequality: The adoption of AI could lead to further economic inequality, as those with access to AI technologies and skills may benefit more than those who do not. Concentration of power: AI systems are often developed and controlled by a small number of large companies or organizations, which could lead to a concentration of power in the hands of a few. Security risks: AI systems can be vulnerable to cyber attacks and other security risks, which could have serious consequences for individuals and society as a whole. Misuse of AI: AI systems can be misused by individuals or organizations with malicious intent, such as through the spread of misinformation or the use of AI for nefarious purposes. Lack of transparency: AI systems can be difficult to understand and interpret, which can make it difficult for individuals to understand how they work and how decisions are being made. Loss of control: The adoption of AI could lead to a loss of control over certain processes and decision-making, as AI systems may be able to operate autonomously. Negative social impacts: The use of AI could have negative social impacts, such as the erosion of social norms and values or the displacement of human workers. Dependence on technology: The increasing reliance on AI could lead to a dependence on technology, which could have unintended consequences if the technology fails or is misused. Overall, there are many potential negative consequences of AI, and it is important for society to carefully consider these risks and take steps to mitigate them as AI becomes more prevalent.

Would AI tell you all the risks and chance having itself deactivated? :P

[@sharpsticksnz4112]

@@CamInstructor no... and deactivating it would be like turning off all internet connections worldwide, not going to happen

Heck, why not ask it for a hundred reasons? Or 1000? Get a life.
