Come, all, and see. Make your predictions.
It will hasten the EMP.
...oh, wait...
Never mind.
I don’t believe AI has the ability to think. This is where humans still have the edge.
re: the disruptions you write about. I agree that some of these will take place.
re: AI and policing, etc. What comes to mind is Robocop.
We’re all doomed...
(If you have a prediction on the impact of AI)
Take my money. TAKE IT!!
In an ideal society, run by Christ it could be a great boon of productivity for everybody. I would love access to a teacher 24/7 to keep improving my qualifications so I can get better jobs.
Kids could finish a real high school education in as little as 7 or 8 years and their first degree by the time they are 18, or even less.
However, our devolution masters only want that for themselves and they want us cut our of the opportunities to protect their economic hedge.
The calculus of AI is that it uses the data mined from other works, and those works require creativity that only humans have. At some point AI runs out of answers and “What happens if AI quits on us?” becomes the primary question.
AI is great at finding answers from existing data. It can mine data in ways researchers only dream of.
Idiocracy was a documentary more than just one of the best movies ever made.
How is anyone supposed to know if this is real or fake? Are there official ID badges?
Prompt engineering will be a required skillset.
Software code will be written by bots. If you're a coder today, you better have something unique to offer.
In 10-15 years, some software based upon models will go the way of the dodo bird
Google has already lost search and will struggle to be relevant in the next 3-5 years.
Rev 13:15
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
“he” is referring to the antichrist.
“Life unto the IMAGE of the beast” is an AI powered hologram... much like those massive 3d holograms u see in places like Japan/NY/etc.
Answer to the thread: AI will KILL humans who don’t worship Satan.
More and more social anxiety, heart attacks, people flying off the rails, etc. as privacy ceases to exist and we all languish in a system that is so rigid and unforgiving it makes the biblical Pharisees look like hippies. Every move will be tracked and meeting the demands of the system will be impossible. We are mostly there.
We are already slaves to the algorithm in many ways.
Simplest example, your seat belt warning bells.
More complex example, math without an electronic device. No big fan of long division, but I could do calc & trig & geometry, etc. with a pencil and understand the answer, e.g., in physics. Machines can give us the answer, but can not make us understand what it means.
Looming larger is the groupthink from crowd-sourced information.
I don’t see where you addressed what people will do with all their new found spare time.
I don’t believe you adequately addressed the impact on crime in your last point. What about violence, resistance to the new laws, and acts by those who have the knowledge to counteract and sabotage AI?
What happens when a natural or man caused disaster destroys the electrical power supply for AI?
AI brings a type of post-labor world. They go hand in hand.
AIs also train themselves and end up creating their own environments.
Can you please give an AI101 summary on AI choices? I have played with a couple but don’t really know my choices and why I would use one over another. I read about people using some for videos, pictures, text, and so forth. So, what are the choices, what are each best at? THANKS!
I don’t think there will be people who just code. Coding will be just a part of a bigger job, such as business analyst, or Subject Matter Expert.
Just as today, a lot of things programmers were required for in the past, can be done with an Excel Spreadsheet. A lot of jobs these days require proficiency with Excel.
So, as you've already shared, I think there will be a strong demand for the "AI Whisperers", as you called them. My addendum to the prediction might be the creation of an AI Fact Checker. This would be a paid researcher/editor who verifies and tests the content output. For example, AI compiled decent open source info on my father's historic legal achievements, but with major inaccuracies that were spotted by me only because I was his son. This scares me as history can be further rewritten (or erased) and new generations would never know any better. (Of course, a coded fix to this might be the best solution through producing a data output option of notated references.)
I follow the latest developments in AI fairly closely, and think you’re overestimating the speed with which our enormous economy can be turned. It won’t be 5 years, but maybe 10 and surely 20 to get most everything thoroughly changed. Though it is astounding how fast things are changing.
Still remember telling friends and family in the late 90s that I’d never live anywhere without “high speed “ internet. They were like “what’s the internet?”
The world is changing quick.
