This stuff is scary and could turn the education world upside down…

Old predictions are coming true, not surprised. Even in the music of the 60s these events were predicted in so many words.
Listen to the song...IN THE YEAR 2525... It talks about the future of humanity not needing arms or legs anymore, or mates for child birth.

Ai is truly wonderful and scary all in one.
Remember Hal9000 from 2001 Space Odyssey movie? Hal took control of the space ship and lives were lost.
Our new Orion spacecraft replacement for Apollo that will carry humans back to the moon in 2024 has an AI system that will control all the spacecraft flight functions, leaving humans to do the science and not worrying about flying the spacecraft.

Used one today for the first time. Pretty cool/scary but it made an error within the first few questions I asked it. It's going to need to be much more efficient and accurate for it to do any lasting damage.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't tell Alexa that she's a stupid dumb broad. 🧐

Has anyone here tried the new Bing AI search engine yet? I've been playing around with it and I can't quite make up my mind about it, it certainly is different. I am interested in other people's opinion on it.

The articles written by AI are absolutely garbage. Lots of them have tons of inaccuracies too. I guess for the dumbed down society we now live in this will pass as journalism

The problem is creating something hundreds of times smarter than we are then expecting it to be our servant.

I guess for the dumbed down society we now live in this will pass as journalism We haven’t reached the point where human involvement isn’t necessary but I think the technology will get there in our lifetimes. Remember how crappy cellphone cameras were 20 years ago? Today, most cellphones have better cameras than low-end stand alone cameras. It’s scary how quickly technology can improve within a decade or two…

I disagree. If robots can think for themselves without human involvement, they’d probably eventually kill us all 😳

True but I was thinking more along the lines of how if robots figure out ways to reproduce and sustain themselves without us, they eventually may get rid of us. I’ve watched one too many sci-fi thrillers.

"Coders and analysts feel AI's breath on their necks". www.arcamax.com/business/businessnews/s-3112138"Are white-collar workers — think analysts, coders and even the odd opinion columnist — going the way of the medieval scribe? Finance and technology accounted for around 39,000 announced layoffs in the U.S. last month, according to one survey, and now DocuSign Inc. and Snap Inc.’s 900 more signal an ongoing race to “rip the Band-Aid” and pivot to more cost-effective AI and automation. Developers are quoting Marx in online forums and wondering if they should re-train as electricians.Shareholders don’t seem too bothered, as seen by Meta Platforms Inc.’s recent whopping $197 billion one-day market-cap gain, and neither do politicians eager to catch up in the tech race. After all, with unemployment still low, no Luddites in sight and plenty of demand, it’s easier to talk up the potential for AI to boost productivity and economic growth. The technology will not be a “mass destroyer of jobs,” Bank of England boss Andrew Bailey recently told the BBC."

'Behind the times': Washington tries to catch up with AI's use in health care. www.arcamax.com/currentnews/newsheadlines/s-3116050"Lawmakers and regulators in Washington are starting to puzzle over how to regulate artificial intelligence in health care — and the AI industry thinks there’s a good chance they’ll mess it up. “It’s an incredibly daunting problem,” said Bob Wachter, the chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California-San Francisco. “There’s a risk we come in with guns blazing and overregulate.” Already, AI’s impact on health care is widespread. The Food and Drug Administration has approved some 692 AI products. Algorithms are helping to schedule patients, determine staffing levels in emergency rooms, and even transcribe and summarize clinical visits to save physicians’ time. They’re starting to help radiologists read MRIs and X-rays. Wachter said he sometimes informally consults a version of GPT-4, a large language model from the company OpenAI, for complex cases. The scope of AI’s impact — and the potential for future changes — means government is already playing catch-up"

I suspect but can’t prove that AI is part of the reason for the waves of layoffs in that industry. It's not the AI. AI isn't really useful for anything other than pseudo-code and suggestions. I and co-workers have used it some for getting framework and ideas, but it's not really a replacement. The real reason for tech layoffs is excess. Young IT people are getting paid exorbitant amounts of money now. The entire salary structure is upside down. Veterans such as myself and I suppose a few others here like Rael must wonder how it is that kids with little to no experience are making more than double guys our age. (one of my kids and her fiancé are in that group working for two well-known tech giants). Not only are the salaries off the charts, but they also spend huge amounts of money on the "perks" - like having catered lunches, open bars, entertainment, all within the office buildings themselves. It's simply not a sustainable business model. So, companies are being forced to have mass layoffs, and remove some of the goodies. This isn't really anecdotal - this is an inside perspective of what's actually happening out there.

This isn't really anecdotal - this is an inside perspective of what's actually happening out there. Interesting analysis. I, like you AR, have both my viewpoint and my son's viewpoint. Neither of us have ever worked for big tech though. My son worked at the same company I did during covid. It was a disappointment because we never got to be in the office at the same time. I would have loved running a meeting while he was in the conference room and watch him contribute. It would have been a lot of fun. However, even though we were both doing well there when he had another offer I advised him to leave and take it. It was less money but potential equity and as I told him, he was 31 years old and unmarried. Step up to the plate and take your big swings now. If you strike out, a job like what he had will always be available should he need it. I have worked in both a small tech company and a much larger company and the smaller one provided more excitement, more possibility, more potential for getting rich, and more potential for immediate failure, more everything except stability. Most of these big jobs with catering and in house yoga classes will fail in three years. I have seen it for a long time.
