A new take on the present state of AI

AI is coming the momentum is to high behind it. There is a bubble but just like the bubble in late 90's tech industry gave us Google and well all the tools we use online today. So the same thing will happen. Driving cars will eventually go the way horse drawn carriage's. Just like the horses, non self driving cars will exist but they will become a smaller and smaller group every year. The plus's of AI driven cars is they are becoming smarter with each generation. Eventually there will be little to no accidents. This is not a fallacy this is statistically coming. Look at the safety of vehicles in the early 80's compared to today, compared to the 1960's. AI will be predominate in business and the office. It already is becoming a huge asset in many corners of business at this time. Engineering and programming will sadly become a thing of the past, Musk said that he expects in the next 10 years programmers will become obsolete. People fighting the change is the same as those that fought buying an automobile. There was at one time a push to ban the development and sale in automobiles. Before those laws could be drafted the automobile took off and changed the world. So will AI. For those that thing AI is a joke and not worth using your only seeing about 1/100 of 1/100th of what it can do. Maybe even less. For those curious, do not openly ask chatgpt a question. Get or make an agent and use that. Asking a general question will give you crazy answers because your asking something that has read a million books and your not confining that question to get the answer you want. Until you build an agent to guide the AI it will do crazy things.

 
No one.


The corporation gets sued and the company pays. No one goes to jail.
And decisions like that, will eventually cultivate very angry people, along the lines of the fella that shot the head of that medical insurance company that refused claims that could have saved the shooter's family member, IIRC.

NOT a statement of approval, rather an observation, that you can push a lot of folks, a long way, but eventually you find someone that doesn't want to be pushed any more.

But, what do I know... I still think rope should be allowed for political feedback to Politicians, and that we should still be allowed to hit the stupid with sticks to change their behaviour! 😀
