I'm tired of hearing about AI, to be honest. I never cared for it. I don't respect people who use generative AI, and I despise companies that sell out people's data to train it. Yes, people will lose jobs to it, but the world will not be better for it. It's just that consequences are rarely immediately apparent in such complex systems.
@Gargron I suggest you browse “21 lessons for the 21st century” for well-researched analysis of how AI will be beneficial to ordinary consumers, in medical services, food, entertainment, government. The book came out six years ago so it’s not influenced by the current AI craze. The current AIs are crude toys, like the first of any human discovery. AI’s could generate movies for your preferred level of violence, romance and plots. I will pay for an AI to generate good Star Wars movies for me.
@Robodad That sounds horrible. I don't want the art I consume to be tailor made for me. In fact I want the opposite: I want it to challenge me.
@sky @Robodad what if it’s tailor made to challenge you, with a deep knowledge of all art that you’ve found challenging before ? Think of an AI music selector that will consider how you reacted to each selection … but now can create the art in the fly too. Or in creating your food.
@Robodad No it can't create new ways in which to challenge me, because fundamentally to challenge the human experience you need to experience it yourself. How can someone who is not a human understand what it's like to be human to the point where it can articulate commentary on it? It makes no sense.
