NBR hive mind, what are your thoughts on the recent developments in AI? Everyone is freaking out and it seems like I was correct in thinking that doctors and lawyers should be concerned. These tools are going to start coming at us rapidly and I don't think 99% of people are thinking about what this all means to society. When it comes to our jobs AI is probably not going to take over people's positions in one fell swoop, but it will be coming at all of our jobs from every angle by taking tasks off your plate one by one. What ChatGPT has revealed to many people, including the so-called experts, is that this will grow much faster than most thought possible.
I use MS Office and Google for my business so I am eager to see what their AI tools can do. For a small operation like mine these tools could be super useful, but eventually I could see AI replacing my business completely.
We are at a nexus of technology where computing power has finally reached a point where it can do large amounts of processing in real time and that is making a lot of sci-fi type technology feasible. We are close to having robots that clean our house, self driving cars/planes/boats, vaccinations for cancer and heart disease, medicines the stop the aging process, foods that can be grown without pesticides or fertilizer, gene editing for hereditary diseases, and of course lots of AI and maybe even AGI. If you apply all of this to the real world there is not a lot left that only people can do. They used to think the artists where safe, but now AI can make videos, music, and art from a prompt. The first AI written hit single is coming soon, I am sure of it. Plus all of the things we lack the imagination to see coming.
