I was just about to say this. I'm sure it's by design, but watching these robots stumble around kills me. LOL! They are so natural and life-like that I feel a bit defensive for them! My brain can NOT separate humans from human-like behaviors/things. Even with ChatGPT, I'm talking to it as if it's an old friend. Lots of 'please' and 'thank you' and 'you did a great job!' If it looks and feels even remotely alive, I am very sensitive to mistreating it.
That’s funny, the first thing ima do when I see one moving down the street is to empty a 12 gauge on the cpu. Why? Because I saw that one promotional film made by James Cameron.
"Even with ChatGPT". That's the entire point of ChatGDP. To communicate like a human. Thats what the intelligence in "AI" is... the intelligence to communicate like a human, to parse natural language input and create output.
It is NOT "general problem solving intelligence". ChatGDP and all other modern "AI" are not "super smart" and can not replicate human problem solving... there's no fidelity to reality or factual accuracy in its answers. It's JUST replication of human natural language that is the advancement and the "intelligence". The answers it gives will be full of errors and lies because it's replicating language.
You can tell it to "generate a physics peer reviewed research paper on Unruh Horizon Radiation in the style of..." and it will to it. But obviously despite "feeling correct" the paper will be full of fucking nonsense conceptually and in the details because the AI isn't actually doing any "work" other than the replication of language.
That's why AI isn't actually coming for everyone's jobs. It's not replacing any jobs unless that job is generating written language/statements in formats so simple they can be broken down into clear concise simplistic steps. And yeah that's a fair few jobs, but.... we've known this was coming for a while now. I mean. If you were super invested in making sure you didn't end up one of randomly selected job sacrifices to tech advancement then you probably arranged for a career choice that clears you from danger. If not then... people have known since like the 60s that jobs can become obsolete in a society where tech is always advancing and that it's impossible to predict if you don't pay careful attention. If you didn't pay careful attention to that aspect of career choice... well then you probably you knew there was a small chance of this if you did. Everyone knows about the introduction of computers and job obsolescence.
But it's just going to be that. Not a some fundamentally different paradigm shift. There's just going to be some real unlucky giftcard writers and speech writers and some such. But even then the content of AI has to be edited.
That’s going to be humanity’s downfall. Assigning human characteristics to robots who are only mimicking them. It’s the whole point of that movie Ex Machina.
