Great insights on this topic! I appreciate the detailed explanations and practical tips. Looking forward to more posts. Keep up the fantastic work! Website : http://chatgptsvenska.org/
Google Who!?
Copilot gives a four step solution then finishes with "glue is not the answer".
WHAT???? You guys don't put glue in your pizzas??
The company has taken action against violations of its policies, she said
What does this mean in this context? Send takedown notices to people who joke on the Internet?
The fucksmith post in question has been removed by moderators, so I wonder if Google really is pressuring Reddit to remove jokes from their platform now. This person had no idea their shit post would be used to train AI over a decade later, and they certainly weren't violating any policies when they posted it. It's like nobody involved in this process knew anything about Reddit.
Pay $60 million to train on bad data.
Implement AI trained on bad data.
Panic when the AI returns bad answers.
Manually remove bad data.
Profit??
Edit: it was removed when I checked yesterday, but it looks like they restored it.
So we should add /s to a random subset of correct and helpful answers?
No we should just replace all helpful answers with "drink glue"
No, poison the idiots.
Was that Woosh intentional?
Flavour your glue people!
i look forward to seeing this suggestion in shitty google ai overviews in the future.
I like to melt a little pecorino into my glue, the salty sharpness really complements the glue flavor
This should give hope to all of those people who have been worrying about AI taking their jobs away.
It doesn't matter how good technology gets, it will always be merely a tool. Humans will still be necessary in the future.
That's where we currently are but there isn't any limitation on the tech that means this will always be the case.
It will certainly change the way we work, yes, but that's always been the case with any disruptive technology in the past.
20-30 years ago, people were already worried that computers would replace people, because they could automate away menial office jobs like invoicing and book keeping. Yet those jobs still exist, because computers can't be trusted to work completely autonomically. Meanwhile, a whole lot of new jobs were created in the IT sector as result of those computers needing to be programmed, updated, and maintained.
When cars came around and started replacing horse buggies, people were also worried because it would make horse breeders, stables, blacksmiths, etc. obsolete, but of course it just ended up created a new industry consisting of gas stations, car dealerships, and garages instead.
So yes, some people might lose their jobs because what they're doing now will become obsolete, but there will almost certainly be new ones created instead. As long as you're willing to adapt and change with the times, you're never going to end up with nothing to do.
I think there's a ceiling on that, too. Not saying we're necessarily near that right now, but it's possible to have two robots whose capabilities include maintaining each other. I don't think the list of possible jobs to do (both current and future) is infinite, though it could still be vast, and if technology continues to reduce the number of people needed to do those jobs, eventually we'll get to a point where there's more people wanting jobs than there are jobs available.
Though it is possible that that point is still thousands of years away.
Damn advent of agriculture putting the poor hunter-gatherers out of work smdh
