While I view AI like GPT2/3 positively on the whole for it's promise, the disruption it is poised to bring may be deeply unsettling. In the next few years I think we can see whole classes of workers disappear, from call center employees to many medical personnel employed in tele-doc environments. What will people be doing in 10 years? How will they earn a living?

Can it stop ballot box stuffing?

It’ll need a coin slot if it’s going to replace politicians.

I have been checking out Chat GPT a bit which appears to be an AI game changer.

It can be humorous at times when it tries too hard to answer your question in the requested context. For example — “please explain ‘light speed’ to a viking.” You get back some funny answers as it tries a bit too hard to relate to vikings.

Nonetheless this is not technology to be scoffed at. Numerous lectures at youtube.

I’m sorry Dave.

ChatGPT is impressive, but has a long way to go. I have been working with it to write some Excel VBA functions. Fail is the word that applies. I have attempted multiple different problems and if there is any complexity involved, the ChatGPT codes fails. It fails by using commands that are not available. It fails, more importantly, by failing to properly solve the problems I give it. Don’t care if it passed some test, my experience is, that it is impressive but needs a lot more work to become useful.

Does it ban mail in voting, ballot harvesting, drop boxes, and early voting that gave that moron an insurmountable lead? If not, then…..NO

Want to turn Penn RED. have the statewide and senatorial elections use an electoral college system. Penn will never have a Dem at the state level, nor
Democrat Senator.

Ask Chat GPT3 if it can pass a Turing test.

I predict it answers "Piece of cake."

What will people be doing in 10 years? How will they earn a living?

People asked these same questions during the Industrial Revolution, when machines replaced humans on farms. Milton Friedman points out, in one of his books, America went from 95 percent farmers in 1790 to 5 percent farmers in 1910. Some economists predicted mass unemployment during this transition phase, but it didn't happen. Human labor always shifts into other, often unseen, areas when technology takes their jobs. In other words, we shouldn't worry about it.

I’m a computer science guy and have long thought that many, many, many so called “knowledge workers” - lawyers, doctors, nurses, etc. were coasting on their qualifications. It’s about to get real for them as most of what is done on a daily basis should probably be done using automation to ensure quality.

Many jobs are rent seeking gov jobs that should be replaced with a robot so they stay fair, etc.

Programming? Large parts of that is done these days with ai.

Me, I’ll probably last up until just after the singularity as one of those useful in the transition.

[daniel1212]

But as long as a human is needed to actually comprehend what humans are asking about a bill, or order or a computer problem, or have a problem which the automation does not list as an option - which none I have dealt with can - then humans are not in danger of being replaced.

I can see ChatGPT and its descendants doing the work of engineers or doctors.

However, to replace salesmen, stockbrokers, lawyers and politicians will require an AI fully competent in all the techniques of rhetoric, deceit, dissembling, trickery, and falsehood, including the ability to knowingly lie convincingly and to pursue self interest at the expense of the greater good.

I doubt they’ve got that perfected for the general case yet, although they do play poker.
