> It doesn't take

Because it already took much more, starting with making first transistor, or even maybe making first tool thousands years ago, or ...

Reply to The legal implications of highly accurate AI-generated pictures and videos by awesomedan24

Honestly, while that is definitely an issue, even greater is the danger of feeding realistic fake videos via social media. People will believe whatever they want to believe, but now they have a video proving that Bush orchestrated the 2001 attacks on the WTC / Moon landing was filmed in a studio / Obama is secretly gay / insert your de-stabilizing video here.

There are already products to detect fake videos / images but:

a) there's no money in it (or at least, a LOT less than making fake videos)

b) it will always be in catchup mode with the latest and greatest fake techniques

Reply to comment by ecnecn in If we achieve AGI in the next ten years, and if we achieve the singularity in the next ten years, will there be an option to entering a hive mind with people who we only know? Also when we achieve AGI and singularity, will there be options to control or modify our mental health(anxiety, depression? by pipe2057

I guess politeness would become a thing of the past in Mergebook, since we'd all be connected at the speed of "oops".

Also, every bad thing you ever thought but never acted on? Oops.

Reply to comment by madvanillin in I love how the conversation about AI has developed on the sub recently by bachuna

I guess GPT allows people to see how the most probable “interface” with AI is gonna look.

Most probably text, speech and art, not robots or AI driven cars…

I must say text and speech was mostly self evident, but I admit I have never thought artistic production to come this early.

Interestingly upper middle and lower upper class will get impacted first.

Upscale art is seen as a surrogate of success and in my experience the main or second most talked about topic of very rich people.

AI will allow increasing art production 100x, this will decrease added value of new production and increase value of preAI production.

I think art value is going to quickly equate social network value of the artist. NFTs representing that could shine :-)

With large part of human intellectual production being automatically produced, I think an even larger value will be given to physical characteristics like good look, performance in sport, performance in living arts like singing or acting.

Deepfakes, deception & a untrustworthy internet

This could be to the internet as Napster was to the music industry. Maybe that's not the world's worst thing ever. The old jump the shark moment.

There is a petition to officially rename it Hhwhhaaat Settlement, as would be the traditional pronunciation in such a location...

I mean that... company already made... that freaking arm thingy...

Do that, how hard could it be? Just buy the thing.

And... yeah. Someone's got to get it off the truck and into the shelves that the arm thingy uses so. Yes that's still a thing.

Yes i agree and I think that is probably only a couple years away too !

We will have an AI companion that can do things for us (scheduling, pay bills, etc) and help us as an expert (dietician, physiologist, doctor, trainer, etc) in almost all areas of our lives

Reply to comment by sumane12 in What jobs will be one of the last remaining ones? by MrCensoredFace

I have seen doctors in oncology sector that really did nothing - have all the tools to dig further (molecular tumor boards, advanced marker tester, leftover experimental antibody drug conjugates from studies, access to newest cyberknife) and literally subscribing the same chemo for every case no matter how special some genetics are, no matter if people have multiple or just oligometastases etc. Ignoring some conditions and side effects till its too late for certain patients. I have seen so many worrying cases that I prefer an AI Doctor in such cases with a broader overview.

I just see pluming as a manual labor job that encompasses so much of the challenges AI and robotics are on the opposite side of solving. I know other manual labor jobs share in complex challenges as well but this seems to stick out. Moreover, to quote GPT-3, 'Plumbers require a combination of manual dexterity and technical knowledge, which can be difficult for robots to replicate. Additionally, plumbing work often involves working in tight spaces, making it challenging for robots to access and maneuver in these environments. Furthermore, the unpredictable nature of plumbing problems and the need for critical thinking and problem-solving skills make it difficult for robots to fully replace plumbers.'
