It interests me that the discussion around AI is similar to the discussion around other major technological innovations in history. There are articles that sensationalize the problems of the technology and predict doom. Especially the fear that the technology is going to put a massive number of people out of work. Technology can create massive disruptions in society but always results in a higher standard of living in the long run. That is cold comfort in the short run but there is no way to stop it.
“”There are articles that sensationalize the problems of the technology and predict doom. Especially the fear that the technology is going to put a massive number of people out of work.””
My 2cents: AI is definitely going to put some folks out of work... for a while (proofreaders, writers, etc.). Until it is discovered that AI is not foolproof, nor even ‘as perceived as perfect’.
Once people discover through more extensive usage, that AI is just another software-like tool that is fallible (via human input) and limited in its scope, I suspect that AI will slowly be allowed to fade in popularity. Unless, like other things that have turned out to be a bad or a ‘not great idea’, it is propped up with massive amounts of $$$, usually by people with a nefarious intention (leftists).
Remember how popular Alexa was at first? Until people used it and got bored with the app and found out that it was yet another possible surveillance tool. And who needs that?
I could be wrong... but logically, that’s how I see things right now, and I confess to not having researched AI enough yet. In due time, I expect.
That's a terrible argument.
