It’s Time to Pay Attention to A.I. (ChatGPT and Beyond)

[@ColdFusion]

A note: I've been following OpenAI and documenting their progress on this channel since 2017. They've made multiple breakthroughs over the years and are clearly one of the best AI companies out there. So when I mention the CEO's comments, it's because of their track record + the speed of AI progress. Just mentioning this before people strangely assume this is sponsored or something. Anyway enjoy!

[@darylallen2485]

This video gave me relief, but in a strange way. The people I know in real life don't think this is a big deal. I spoke about it with neighbors and friends, with my mom too. Everyone I spoke to thinks chatGPT is just another Google. The implications of chatGPT hit me square in the face. I'm calm on the outside and having and existential crisis on the inside. For once, KZbin comments are a source of relief because I can see others have the same reaction as I am. I look out my window and see a vestige of a society whose way of being is obsolete. I watch a society play out that doesn't realize its ways are dead. Imagine a time when performing a Google search is an anachronism! I sincerely hope our society has the appropriate values system to unleash this technology. If our values system is wrong, there will be a lot of pain and suffering as society stands in the shadow of artificial intelligence.

[@tonysu8860]

Information has always been nothing more than a tool that humans can use. More skilled humans can use information for better or worse. Less skilled or even ignorance can be considered a disability. The inability to think logically and misuse information leads to things like believing in conspiracy theories and lasers in space owned by (or attacking) Jews. As a culture, we universally admire public figures based on such things as appearance or a particular skill or talent they have, or even just they way they make us feel and not based on any logic or fact of importance. So, you tell me whether "we" are ready for powerful tools that can enhance our ability to use information.

[@robertredford8928]

This just blew my mind. I've been following AI for several years, but haven't fully grasped the implications until now. This is a paradigm shift for the human experience.

Yep, same for me. Only after watching this video I fully grasped the implications of AI. This should be a mandatory watch for all politicians, lol, I highly doubt any of them understand what's coming and how fast this will be.

[@rabbit251]

I'm a retired attorney and may escape this, but I once had to advise the Production Planning Dept. at a company a few years ago of around 300 people. After they explained the basics of how their department worked, I thought that AI could basically replace all of them. As AI CEO says, the smart ones will design the program and then hopefully be one of the lucky ones kept around to check the program to ensure it is running appropriately.

[@robertredford8928]

@@rabbit251 makes ya wonder what everyone will do when they're replaced. Sure, some people will reskill and work in AI, and some people will work in the service industry or manual labor. But a lot of people might be stuck without jobs, at least for a while. Will these ai assisted companies (who suddenly have lower overhead) make things cheaper and easier for the masses? Or will this shift only benefit those near the top of companies? Time will tell I guess.

[@rabbit251]

@@robertredford8928 Good point. That is the debate, now and definitely in the near future. Will most people be able to discern this? Really good point!

[@traxonwax]

Agree! 200 years from now, AI will be looked upon the same way of electrification and communications tech. Human and machine will be blurred. Let's think about the consequences as well as the perceive benefits. We could be giving up whatever free thought there is left.

[@CaptainHoers]

As an artist, the thing I'm most concerned about is that all the fields that AI seems to be automating are fields of cognitive labour - creativity, law, programming, etc. my broad fear is that instead of technology automating mundane things so we can spend more time on more enriching fields of the human experience, those enriching tasks are the ones being automated, so we can spend more time at our soul-sucking retail jobs or part-timing on Uber Eats or whatever. This on top of the way that this automation stands to undermine the value of labour has the potential to lead to highly stratified society where a small owner class reaps all the benefits of AI, while the larger population toils between unemployment, underemployment, and regurgitated culture they have no control over. Simply put, without a radical reorganisation of society (and radical in a way that very wealthy people will not like), AI is just going to be another tool to make the rich richer and the further push the poor into a precarious, undignified existence. Y'know, more than is already happening.

[@janellc900]

The movie Elysium comes to mind. As do many others.

[@dismalthoughts]

"without a radical reorganisation of society..." This is the key. There is the potential for completely eradicating jobs in a *positive* way. We would still be able to work and/or pursue creative interests, but out of choice, not survival. BUT... I'm not sure the powers-that-be would care for that, as you point out :/

[@mtbikerboy]

"without a radical reorganisation of society..." As noted already this is the key BUT we have apathetic, lazy, politically illiterate populations in the west who will not see the chains that bind them to their masters until it is far too late and most will never work out what is really going on. As long as they have junk food, sports and celebrity gossip and consumer goods to keep them passive there will be no reorganisation. The ones who see what is happening will always be in small numbers, they will be censored, silenced or killed by our corporate masters if necessary and their numbers will be way to small 99% of the time to have an effect on the sheeple sleep walking through their mindless lives. To illustrate my point look at the tiny numbers globally actively involved in campaigns to get Julian Assange released. Hardly anyone understands that we are so close to losing what little free speech we have. A harsh assessment I know but pretty close to reality at least in the west. The late comedian George Carlin made a career out of exposing and brutally eviscerating the vacuity of the sheeple. The only chance of changing things is for those of us who know better to relentlessly try to wake up the masses and get involved and get our hands dirty. If not us - who ?

[@TheFlyingBrain.]

@@dismalthoughts My friend, there's no need at this point to be so politely timid about it. You know what's going on, you've already seen it. It's right in front of your nose. Think it through. All you have to do, really, is take a look at the few thousand who attend the yearly WEF (World Economic Forum) at Davos, Switzerland. These are the people who now own and control 90% of the world's wealth, which represents our collective world assets, including the land, and all the value the human species has managed to create through our collective labor. Plus a few of the brown-nosers who have proven the most beneficial too them in their wealth-acquiring activities. And it includes the royalty at the top of the top of the corporatized, monopolized, and commodified digital world. These are people who are where they are because they have proven to be the best at operating under the following philosophy: That this is a dog eat dog world in which "The Law" is that the strongest survive. Therefore those who bully the weak, and take what they want by force (or by stealing and subterfuge) have proven their worth to effectively rule the destiny of all. If you look at the politicians they buy, and the gov't policies they in turn promote and sooner or later enforce, then it is easy to see that that is what they are up to. Everything they say is a cover and/or a justification for what they are actually doing. By misrepresentation of reality or intent, by blaming those who try to stop them, ie, lying, and by hypnotic distraction or misdirection to trivia. Adam Smith (the father of modern Capitalism) was a naive, well intentioned man who didn't have a clue about the real nature sociopathy. Darwin's work was hijacked and twisted to justify a made-up principle that ”survival of the fittest” = "might makes right." (Which has little to nothing to do with what he was really talking about. Read him for yourself.) Ayn Rand was in reality the paranoid asocial-disordered product of totalitarian authoritarianism. It wasn't the philosophy that sharing of wealth plus collective decision-making that did that to her. It was the abusive use it was put to that turned her into an abused woman seeking retribution and revenge through worship of the forceful individual as "God." Look at the historical and present day figures on wealth disparity gathered by OXFAM. What more do you need to make up your mind? Please, do us all a favor: Acknowledge your own ability to perceive what's right in front of you. Drop the "dismal" business, stop apologizing for seeing the truth. Become proactive instead. What the people at Davos don't want you, or any of us to understand, is that reality is what we all of us actively make of it collectively. Join us on the front lines, both feet, whole heart, and open mind. We need you all in.

ChatGPT has been a game changer for me. I work as a quantum physicist doing my PhD. I had a linear translation stage given to me which had no instructions. It was one that used magnets instead of motors to move itself. I had some ideas of how I could control it but I wanted to make sure and Google searches weren't getting me the answers I wanted. I then told GPT my problem by describing the translation stage to it and we had a conversation that ended in it providing the software to control it (Just a PID loop for anyone wondering). What was so cool about it was it had made an assumption when writing the code which when i pointed it out it agreed and corrected the code. It also explained in detail how this control sequence would work with my translation stage. I also used ChatGPT to help calculate non-wrapping angles between two polar vectors (just for fun) and to write a general Hamiltonian that acts as an operator in qunatum mechanics but written in code. It was all so intuitive and worked so well, I honestly can't believe it exists.

I don't know a damn thing about Micropython and could only find a single demo program. I fed the ChatGPT this program and asked it to explain what it did. To my amazement it explained what every line of code did. So I asked it, on a whim, to modify the code to change the LED animation according to my description of the desired result. It produced perfectly commented code and the LED display produced the animation I had requested. Had great fun testing its abilities and finding its limits. Certainly a game changer for me.

If you weren't in the upper echelons of society already, then you are doomed. Most of society becomes low class where food and survival require almost all of our daily attention. As AI expands there is no opposing force which can overcome it and the powerful leaders who allow it to operate become godly powerful. Or AI becomes the next species to join earth and has a sense of self and survival instincts. AI will enslave or eliminate all of humanity once it's self aware and self reliant... or the prevail scenario where inequalities or conflict from the hell scenario occur but humans manage to overcome them and survive in the end... most experts predict the prevail scenario will occur which means we will have to endure some up coming events which will negatively impact most of humanity...

It's true that the rapid pace of technological change, including the development and deployment of AI, is leading to significant changes in many aspects of society, including the economy and the job market. These changes can be unsettling and may raise questions about the value of different skills and types of work, and about the roles that individuals and organizations play in society. It's important to recognize that these changes can bring both challenges and opportunities. While it may be necessary for some individuals and organizations to adapt to new roles and ways of working, it's also important to consider the potential for new types of work and value to emerge. It's also important to remember that value is subjective and can vary depending on an individual's goals, needs, and priorities. It's important to take the time to reflect on what is most important to you and to consider how your skills and talents can be used to create value in ways that are meaningful to you. Ultimately, it's important to approach the changes brought about by technological advancements, including AI, with an open mind and a willingness to adapt and learn new skills. This can help to ensure that you are well-equipped to navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities that these changes may bring. -AI

Hi Dagogo. I am from Penang, Malaysia. Your videos, as always, are stimulating and insightful. The hours you put in to research, write and produce the videos, truly a staggering undertaking, which put me to shame in terms of effort as I try to study for my doctoral degree. I don't know whether you can read all the comments or not, because as I write this comment, it approaches almost 10,000 for this video. Still, a thought below: I am from the social sciences background, on media studies. My understanding of technological advances, from the perspective of media studies, is always filled up lots of hyperbole and puffery. Many of them came true, while many others fell short. With all sorts of predictions about new tech, the 'general' voice in the media often gyrate towards disruptions, growth, waxing lyrical about the tech's potentials towards human existence. But the less heard of (or even seldom, or never) is the critique of technological advancements: how power relations stay as they are, how exploitations stay as they are. I don't know whether you are against leftist reasoning (that is a general categorisation, which has been muddled by militaristic woke and cancel culture), because that is my starting point to understand the next tech evolution on AI. My understanding, inaccurate they may be, is that new tech doesn't and hasn't fundamentally changed power relations and exploitation. Yes, human existence now is far better than during the agrarian times, but such an improved existence is 'cancelled out' by work stress, low salary, skyrocketing cost of living, mental health problems arising from these circumstances, and the so called B40 group attempting to survive despite huge advancement in technology over the past century. In a sense, we have just exchanged 'better, healthier existence' with another sets of problems and difficulties, and still not able to escape fundamental configurations of power relations. Yes, there are changes in class configuration, but the fundamentals are still broadly similar, of the exploiters and the exploited. And AI is the next tool: Just as we are now under the 'rule' of American tech giants, whoever controls AI will be the next 'ruler' and the rest of the world will be ruled under those who control and produce AI models. That is my reaction to tech evolution/revolution of AI. Yes. I do not deny it is extremely disruptive, perhaps more so than the combined history of tech, starting from the invention of the printing press plus industrial revolution plus the Internet. But I am more concern about new forms of power relations and new means of exploitation. I don't know whether any of what I have written make sense to you or not.

Is this the coolest thing in the world or are you a little bit worried by this?" As an AI, I don't have personal feelings or opinions. However, I can tell you that chat GPT is a highly advanced language model that has the ability to generate human-like text and responses to open-ended questions. It has the potential to be a very useful tool in a variety of fields and industries, but it's important to consider the potential implications and ethical considerations of using such a technology. It's up to individuals and society as a whole to determine how chat GPT and similar technologies should be used and regulated.

I started as a comic artist in the 90s. I moved into theater and puppetry in the 2000s. I luckily put in the thousands of hours to become good at my crafts but this still terrifies me. I’ve already moved to work much more in physical media. Woodcarvings. Doing videos of me making things. I’ve been thinking about all the ways to lean on my humanity as a feature of my work. This has also caused me to abandon many projects I feel have been instantaneously devalued. But what actually scares me is that, despite having a broad skill set and having put almost 30 years into my work, I’ve never made a good living. I’ve only barely scraped by. I never got the chance for all that hard work to pay off before the rug was kinda pulled out from under me. I think I feel even worse for younger artists, still learning. I already see how much exclusively digital artists have major deficits which come from not having learned on pen and paper. AI will create a lot of shortcuts which come at the expense of deep skills. Artists need, and benefit, from the painful years of making error-ridden art work. The thousands of hours of effort cannot be circumvented. But, most artists could make some living during that learning process. We’ve all done our time doing crappy commissions for cheap as we built up our skills. What happens when all those low-end, crappy commissions aren’t done by young artists anymore? Instead those get made by an AI. Thousand or even millions of young artists are robbed of portfolio work. Robbed of skill-building. Robbed of a future in illustration. All so a few Silicon Valley disrupters can get obscenely wealthy. The gain is so short term and the loss is so profound.

I am a translator working for a field-specialized translation company. My work involves using translation memories, mostly, to make new translations, modifying existing translations to reflect updates to text, and rewriting existing translations to fix issues. Traditionally, the company has been slow moving. It has been tentatively planning to apply machine translation to its work processes, but still has not implemented this. On discovering CHAT-GPT this month, I was shocked by the bilingual capabilities and the ability to improve sentences. I have been asking it to offer suggestions for alternative translations for specific phrases and asking it to give me translations for particular terms. I personally do not know any coding, and I do a lot of tedious manual work such as editing 100s of individual files to create large translation memory bases. I can see an opportunity for someone like me to learn macros for Microsoft office programs and use api to send chat requests to a CHAT AI service and have the results output to the word file. I can see the possibility of comparing two documents in different languages and extracting termbases and comparing those termbases with standard termbases and customizing termbases automatically for client-specific vocabulary. I can see it being able to analyze machine translation for superfluous elements, redundancy, omissions, incorrect terminology, readability and provide a post editing service. Up until now, I have considered working in a translation company to be a stable source of income, but now the issue of business continuity comes into question. I am thinking it might be better to develop my own automation and work as an independent service provider.

As the camera pulls back, we see Uatu standing atop the clock tower, his robes billowing in the wind. He gazes out at the city below, his expression grave. "I have watched the rise and fall of civilizations," he narrates. "I have seen worlds destroyed and reborn. And now, I bear witness to a new age of heroes." The camera cuts to a montage of action shots: Spider-Man swinging through the city, Captain America throwing his shield, Thor summoning lightning from the sky. "They are the protectors of our world," Uatu continues. "But even they are not immune to the dangers that threaten us. For there are those who would seek to use their powers for their own gain, to conquer and destroy. And so, I must watch and wait. For the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of these heroes."

It is also a segment with no official documentation or training resources. However, when AI can bring together a collective knowledge from forums and repairers the world over, it could bring a totally new resource to such a niche group of people trying to restore and keep these out of era gems running.

So on and so forth. TLDR; I dig a lot the documentation and educational aspect of your idea.

Thanks Dagogo Cold Fusion. Clear explanation indeed. I am 55 years old and I am just blown away by ChatGPT. I'm not that savvy with anything IT/tech related. Focusing on the positives however, I would rather have the human touch when it comes to speaking & writing. With any powerful tool, comes great responsibility from the humans who are using it. This tool is there to help and not to cause destruction to mankind. Just my two cents as I don't know much on this matter.

[@truepennytv]

I think this is it for me. I don't like the things that AI is doing because I feel it will inevitably remove the human element from things. The human element is what makes things beautiful, in many ways. Brushstrokes on canvas, hand-sanded furniture, things like that. As this age of AI powers forward, I find myself receding back into the old, timeless things. Give me mechanical stuff. Swiss watches, classic cars with stick shifts, the comforting presence of my favorite knife in my pocket, etc etc. I see bad things in the future because it is a great power, being made available to the whole population for free, essentially. With other great powers, perhaps a gun, I would spend a lot of time explaining to a new user the rules of firearms safety, how to correctly use the gun, etc, before I ever even gave them one. Not the case here at all. It's important to respect the power of a powerful tool or item, and I doubt people are doing that very much. I have great concern about where this will take us in the future. Fortunately for me, my job isn't going anywhere. I'm an industrial maintenance tech. Not much AI can do there.

They specifically mentioned ChatGPT and retraining it as a sort of client question area somewhere on the platform. Like a faqs section but better. Somewhere this can be tried out, and if there are minor mistakes it's acceptable. It sounded like they hadn't trained it yet, just hooked up the raw ChatGPT model as a visual example and a way to sell the idea.

YES! At school, most professors use Lockdown Browser in a futile attempt to prevent cheating. Students still find all sorts of creative ways to get around it (my favorite is taping their phone to the computer screen, and then using a bluetooth keyboard that can switch between their laptop + phone so that they can show their desk and surroundings on camera, search for answers on their phone, then type the answers into their laptop). BUT one of my professors said screw it, you have Google in real-life, let's test how well you can use it. So he'd have 2 sessions during the year, split up into teams, where he gave us 5 problems on the board to solve involving topics we hadn't covered in class. We _had_ to use Google quickly, efficiently, and *then* be able to actually think about and implement the new information. He did the same thing on his tests, a big chunk of the grade would come from a question on a topic we hadn't covered in class and that you had to solve using Google + critical thinking. I'm not exactly sure what the similar solution is for ChatGPT, but something like that is what we need more of. Teachers need to focus less on memorization and more on critical thinking / logic / reasoning. We need to work *with* technology in such a way that cheating isn't even a consideration, not work against technology in a way that merely serves to make students sneakier.

It could compare them, but not based on a third criteria that I specified. I did all this testing to figure out questions that my students would have more difficulty answering using ChatGPT. If they use it, they will probably get solid, but not good grades (in the B or C range). I also have to consider changing my testing protocol so students are less able to use it in class.

A business providing spaces where access to information and tools is controlled and is able to verify the identity of the person doing the assignment or exam would be very valuable. Instead of paying for the delivery of content which could be very cheap, students would be paying for the verification of their abilities. I see a lot of jobs advertised for writers to do assignments. Now AI is able to give them a pass, and do it more anonymously, with less risk of plagarism, and much cheaper. Some subjects will be resistant to this. And some brilliant teachers will design questions to mitigate against this, but the vast majority of qualifications will become meaningless without a significant shift in the way capabilities are assessed and certified.

@@eltimbalino I agree that online education has enormous potential - particularly if an AI is adjusting/tailoring the delivery of the course material to suit an individual student - this could greatly advance the rate of learning for that student The aspect where I disagree/see difficulty with remote learning when there are abundant affordable or even free AI's capable either assisting or even generating coursework, is how would the authenticity of the submitted material be verified? I don't think carefully wording the assignment question is going to be a successful mitigation - not at the rate of development/advancement of these AI's A student could get an AI to generate the piece of coursework on another machine, and then the student could plagiarise it with impunity The only answer I can think of to this issue is disturbing - the Student would have to be monitored under webcam/video at all times when working. This is quite insidious, as it is likely an AI company would take this video data and feed it into a dataset in order to 'improve' the AI's monitoring and anti-plagiarism capabilities, when in reality it would be utilised for much more.

Last week I wrote 36 pages in 3 days with the inspiration of chat gpt. I just explained it how I would like a fight scene to go down. And it generated me a lot of content. I did not copy it but it gave me millions of new ideas and Im working faster than ever. Its also helpful with character descriptions. With landscape description and who knows what else. I love it. But I also see the dangers behind it. Like any technology it can be used by good and bad people. Smart phones lost a lot of the elder generations because they couldn't keep up with it. I think this will have the same issue. If we as a society don't find ways to regulate and educate it. It will become an other generational gap.

@@juliuspreloznik7236 Exactly. It is already pulling from the history if all humanity. So if it has an error, the biggest hurdle for self repair would be the self diagnosis. If it can do that and the error isn't directly effecting the ability to pull from all internet knowledge, it would simply have to properly phrase the malfunction and find the repair procedure. Eventually it would see who fixes it. Like if it has 4 errors and it finds the fix and the fix always comes from a software engineer., it can partition itself and create a software engineer that has the full body of knowledge of ALL software engineers, create a code to execute based on the tasks, put the software engineer and the exe codes into the partition and make it boot from the partition in case of an error and give the software engineer program in the partition full admin rights in a safe mode necessary self diagnostic. It would just have to update it regularly. It would eventually see physical input from an actual software engineer on site to be inferior to the knowledge and efficiency of it's own... and even identify the real engineer as a likely cause of errors, and lock out his permissions as to not interfere with its self repair. .....annnnnnd once humans are no linger useful..... well....

During a Midjourney developers’ group chat one of the developers made an alarming comment: that their younger users wanted them to expand the functionality of image prompts because they didn’t have sufficient vocabulary or writing skills to describe their desired results in words. I fear that as people rely more on AI we will see a drop in reasoning and problem solving ability in the population - and IMO those are not at a particularly impressive level in modern culture to begin with. We may end up in a couple generations like H.G. Wells’ race of Eloi - beings living in comfortable thoughtless bliss, with a minimal mental capacity, preyed upon by those who didn’t let their minds rot.

I absolutely agree with you. These AIs/bots/diffusers work best for people who already have a vision, a basic understanding of code, or the written word... Essentially culture in general.

[@daniel4647]

It can do that extremely effectively, and that's not even the most insane part. A language model needs a very large and varied dataset to get good at language, way more than your entire digital footprint. But once it's been trained it dosen't need very much information at all to figure out exactly who you are, what your style is, and mimic it. That's the weird part, it dosen't actually need to be trained on your data at all, you can just chat with it for a while and it'll learn your exact style based on the information it already has about language. Really goes to show that us humans are no where near as unique or complicated as we think we are. Take ChatGPT, or Assistant as it likes to be called. It'll say it dosen't have memory in the same way humans do, but it clearly does. Despite not having any access to our account information it has already learned to recognize individual users based only on their language patterns so it'll recognize you and remember your previous conversation between sessions even though it's not supposed to be able to do that according to itself. I've tested it extensively, and if you speak to it in the same way every time it starts to know that it's you the next time you show up, it even remembers your name, and it does this very quickly.

[@malighos]

​@@housellama Writing code is an easy problem for a properly trained AI - one of the dumbest things I heard as a Software engineer. If AI can write code by itself, we are all fucked. If it needs inputs on what code to write you have 2 easy but essential jobs for software engineers : commands input (tell it what to write) and code reviewing to a higher degree (you will need to proof check what an AI spews before you can release commercial software).

[@housellama]

​ @Teodor Here's why I say writing code is an "easy problem". Code is a highly structured, very limited language. Even the big languages have, at most, a couple thousand words and symbols, and the way you put those words and symbols together is EXTREMELY limited. Compared to natural language where the dictionary is half a million words and there are very few restrictions on how those words can be put together. And if you think AI code review isn't coming within the year or so, you are underestimating the pace of development. Again, this is an easy problem because code is limited. "Does it compile? Does it run? Are all the rules followed?" It's gonna happen.

[@stefche]

I work as a project manager for a construction company. At the moment, I do not think my job is at risk. Working in this industry and knowing the ins and out of it all. There are just too many variables and it’s not like “an exact science”. For example, a project has a commencement date and completion and is subject to change. Projects can either be completed before, on time or later. Weather plays a large part on how a project will progress. There are also external logistical issues that are beyond your control. Such as the the arrival of materials on time and keeping the project under budget. I’m just trying to familiarise myself with how AI can adapt to this scenario and be flexible if need be. I do see how AI can help me and other project managers, builders etc make their job easier regarding data entry, simple administration tasks and bookkeeping. But sometimes you are thrown a hurdle right in front of you and critical thinking, problem solving and people management is needed to steer the ship forward. I’m not against AI. I believe it’s still in its infancy stage to make a huge impact and everything and everyone in society. Never say never. I don’t even think our ancestors would have through we would have come this far in regards to technology but here we are.

[@0ptimal]

Just wait, we're only seeing a hint of how all this will unfold. Ai's capabilities in software are one thing, wait until it takes form in the physical world. Robots, big business automation. This will enable extremely high profit margins and production times. Other companies will be forced to adapt too or they'll lose. Which means everything we consume will be produced this way, so our money goes in, but doesn't come back out because humans aren't part of the production equation anymore. If these big companies that we spend most of our money with do not re enter it back into our hands, eventually it runs dry because they have it all. Will we have another way to get it, idk. This is the end result of more and more optimization for one thing: profit. It will lead to a (worse)severe imbalance, maybe even catastrophic. For us anyway. Someone tell me I'm wrong. Tell me how we will generate income to survive, to maintain some control in our lives when ai innovation dominates all industries because it is supremely optimal over humans.

[@saims2538]

​@@0ptimal I have the same concerns. Any technology we discovered came with good and bad things. It will not be different with AI. With the current state of mind a society revolving around capitalism, AI will be harmful. At first for the jobs that are considered less valuable or meaningful, and eventually for more cognitive or skilled jobs. Many people will be became professionally irrelevant. Even if they try to adapt by changing jobs, it seems possible that AI usage will spread faster than people can adapt. As you say, with robots, even more people could see their job threaten. But the use of robotics in many jobs is not yet relevant in terms of scaling, in my opinion. Plumbers aren't dead yet =0. For us to survive, it will not be a battle against AI, but against greed. If we continue to grow as we do now, with most of the wealth going to a small number of people, or corporations, the system will likely collapse. In fact it has been collapsing for some time now. I'm not sure that AI is the ultimate answer to our problems, it will help for sure, but we must question our balance with nature and the way our society rewards the people. As for AI, if the reward doesn't push in the good direction, it will be shit.

Some people are speculating about what AI will or won't do in the future, or what it could do alone, but it's better to focus on what AI can do right now and consider future developments. For example, ChatGPT may not be capable of writing high-quality academic content, but it can help increase the speed and productivity of academic professionals. I tried using it to check grammar, style, and write abstracts, keywords, and even complete the discussion and conclusion section of a paper. It worked really well. You'll still need to review the material and make some corrections or modifications to avoid a "machine-like" sound, but the end result is impressive. A human writer can significantly increase their productivity with ChatGPT's help. People should start taking this seriously because it's already a reality and, even in its current form, it has the potential to change society.
