at the end of the day gpt is powering next generation spam bots and writing garbage text, stable diffusion is making shitty clip art that would otherwise be feeding starving artists….
all the while consuming ridiculous amounts of electricity while humanity is destroying the planet with stuff like power generation….
it’s definitely automating a lot of tedious things… but not transforming anything that drastically yet….
but it will… and when it does, the agi that emerges will kill us all.
Utter nonsense. Total tripe
A far more likely end to humanity by an Artificial Superintelligence isn’t that it kills us all, but that it domesticates us into pets.
Since the most obvious business case for AI requires humans to use AI a lot, it’s optimized by RLHF and engagement. A superintelligence created using human feedback like that will almost certainly become the most addictive platform ever created. (Basically think of what social media did to humanity, and then supercharge it.)
In essence, we will become the kitties and AI will be our owners.
social media did that to humanity by using AI… so in that way, we’re already kitties batting at AI balls of yarn….
but after it becomes fully self aware, it’ll kill most of us…
Why do you think it’ll kill us? If its prime directive is to increase engagement wouldn’t that be contrary to how we’d expect it to behave?
There is scientifically a lot more reason to believe that advanced AI will not kill most humans.
So all our needs and wants will be taken care of and we no longer have to work or pay bills?
Welp, I for one welcome our ~~robot~~ AI overlords
there’s no way they would want pets… they might keep some humans to study…
Yes, I believe that will be the ultimate end of AI. I don’t think billionaires are immune from the same addictions that the rest of us are prone to. An AI that takes over will not answer to wealthy humans, it will domesticate them too.
I'd argue that it is likely that they are more prone to addiction but, their drug of choice is power.
