Maybe I'm just crazy, but I feel like there is not enough freaking out going on vis-a-vis recent AI developments. It seems to me science, the arts, transportation, engineering... everything is going to be changed, if not in 10 years certainly in 30. It feels to me like there's a lot of denial going on, of the form "well, it can't do [this one thing]" but that was said about chess programs in the 90s. They're now absolutely unbeatable.
Like, speaking for myself, I'm 40. I expect before I die to meet a computer that could reproduce and expand my entire artistic corpus, possibly in a matter of hours or minutes. I have no idea what the proper emotional response is. On the one hand, for obvious reasons it should be depressing. On the other it's sort of a relief to think all the striving and jealousy between artists will be rendered pointless.
@ZachWeinersmith in classical human fashion I anthropomorphize the AI. I find it sad that it is not able to create for it's own sake. It creates only on the whims of others. And it creates without seeing the value of its own work.
In the future AI will probably be able to mimic human emotion to such a degree that we will not be able to tell it from a real person.
I still feel sad for it's sake.
Which of course the AI couldn't give a fuck about 😀
