Fucking Alan Kohler... the ABC does the public a disservice by printing his garbage.

"It isn't just that AI could take your job, or put millions of people on welfare, or give us infinite free software, or whatever. It's that for the first time in all of recorded history, humans no longer are — or soon no longer will be — the most intelligent beings on this planet, in any meaningful functional sense of the word." (Alan quoting some guy Noah Smith)

"any meaningful functional sense"

... someone show Alan the carwash video.

@troberts I don't think it's necessarily the end of the world as we know it but there are big changes on the way

Sadly being rushed before the technology is ready

@HardBeingGreen The economics of the companies providing the AI models are deeply flawed.

I think there is a high chance of a market correction around the end of the year.

There's no chance of a super-intelligence anytime soon, and what we've seen so far will collapse because it's not profitable at all.

@troberts definitely, I think some AI companies will fold and others will be taken over with the power becoming more concentrated

I can't imagine AI will become more intelligent than humans but it doesn't need to be

It will be better, or just as good, as humans at doing repetitive tasks. It will definitely make mistakes but it will save time and cost jobs in some fields

On the bright side, it will free up some people to do the work AI will never do better e.g. teaching, nursing, aged care, childcare, cooking, some trades etc

They're already replacing teachers, nurses, aged care, childcare and cooking (yes cooking) with AI. It's bad at all those things, and they don't care. Because you believe it could be a good thing, and so they'll milk you for a rube until you're at their feet in chains.

Besides, computers are already better at humans at doing repetitive tasks. You don't need giant complexes of behavior manipulation data, only the watch that used to be on your wrist.
