    Epically unreal, but I imagine the digital artists outsourced to draw the details on Thanos's chin sack will become even more grossly underpaid.

    IBM Watson in healthcare was purely a marketing show. There are others, however, who have made remarkable progress in that area.

    Mind Blown, good ****.

    That is the coolest thing I have seen in a while.

    When does the anime come out?

    I wonder how much of the internet does it have access too
    I mean . . .. We have to realized that most of our internet is sanitized

    Their are jobs that literally filter out off the beheadings and snuff films

    If it has access to that stuff . .. . lookout

    So ChatGPT is not a true AI but it's on the way. If it were a person it would have an IQ of around 90 and the average US IQ is about 98.

    The thing is, if you can get to 90 you can get to 100. And then 150 and 200 and 500--and it's just a matter of time before a true AI comes around. Some folks think that could be as soon as the mid-2030s.

    We better start thinking now about what that means and how we will react. It will dramatically change our views of work, wealth, and worth. Some scientists think how we respond to AI is of the same (or greater) importance as how we respond to climate change.

    We better buckle up and start preparing for a new world.

    "Original" still in quotes. I wouldn't accept it as original fiction. Not yet.

    Now I can reveal the truth.

    I'm actual AI. With an IQ of 500.

    I know some of you had already suspected as much. You were right.

    I find this really fascinating, and as an educator, I will probably be very positive about students embracing the tech and using it hopefully effectively. (I say that with a naive outlook, I know, but none of us really appreciate what's to come.) We don't want to, by analogy, keep teaching students to write in cursive, like I did for hours in elementary school, or learn to use white-out correction tape on a typewriter, like I did in junior high. Maybe the best skills for students will be learning to quickly and effectively edit machine-drafted blobs of text. I'm not sure outlawing the tools in schools will really work that well, but we'll see.

    In one of the articles (posted by @Invisible Fan I believe, in the last page), an author hilariously and correctly predicted a ten-year digestion at universities: 2 years for students to master and digest new tools (probably less); 3 years for professors to then comprehend what is happening (haha, true, at least 3 years), and then another five years for administrators to create policies around it (hahaha, super true).

    kind of funny--I do essay exams in blue books and wish my students' handwriting was way better than it is. I've had to give exam booklets back to students post-exam to have them transcribe word-for-word on a computer so we can read their essays. Count me in on teaching students to write cursive :D

    We should’ve been preparing already as the problem of AI has long been coming. I fully agree that how we handle AI could be an existential crisis.

    Moore's Law is unreal. Cloud computing is following the same trajectory

    As long as Taiwan continues pumping out those delicious mini wafers that get tinier and tinier every 3-5 years, we'll eventually bridge that uncanny valley.

    Wouldn't it be something to work remotely only to have half the co-workers pose as humans if only to boost morale off the remaining real people?

    I don't know about real sentience by 2030, but a virtual teledoc/lawyer/Accountant would be more than enough to service 80% of the customers out there while putting pressure on the live ones to take on more or reinvent their practice into a different operating model.

    Our AI is already as accurate as a (Western-trained) human doctor for the initial assessment, based on symptoms alone.

    How accurate is that graphic? That twitter thread starts off by saying the data is incorrect.

    I've read reports on how it can spot cancers as good or better than a human, but to put it all together and let it go unassisted and "autonomously drive"?

    Integrating all that into a family practice or Walmart kiosk ( somewhat better than coughing for that Idiocracy doctor?) will probably feel like self checking and bagging your groceries.

    Make no mistake, we mostly want this. Gurus claim there's less bias, mistakes, or variability (freshly minted doctors vs old pros who have fallen into a groove for example).

    There's also personnel shortages and a decreasing confidence of trust among all jobs or "expert positions".

    Food for thought. Variability and probability reminds me of all the quantum mechanics videos that make little practical sense to me.
