There are thousands of humans activities out there, why do you think that the future will only be diluted to video games and porn? If the future is truly automated then the economic liberation of every human will encourage us to explore the experiences that are prevented from us because of economic limitations.
Personally, Id would rather travel to Europe, Africa and Asia, eating plethora of cousins, Riding elephants, boats, jet planes and horses and screwing with locals. I think that's better than being stuck in my room, waiting for GTA-6 to come out and watching dull-repetitive porn videos.

All things you would have available to you when solving a problem outside of a controlled testing environment. Why not make them available during testing and evaluation? The objective is to identify if this person can solve problems IRL where they have access to all these items. They should have the same access when solving problems by an evaluating university or employer.

As a manager, if I task you to give me the answer to 2+2, and you can do it faster by looking it up online vs someone else performing mental math, then you are more valuable to me.

Further, if a universities evaluation criteria for students can be outsmarted by AI then that points to a problem with the evaluation criteria, not the students.

It's not cheating. It's being resourceful.

No offense but you're probably one of the few, at least on this sub. Google (Alphabet if we're being pedantic) is one of the largest companies in the world, for it to be upended by Chat GPT shows just how fast AI technology's accelerating.

Paul Buchheit (Gmail creator) should know better than most about the risk posed to Google, he created AdSense which is their main profit driver.

I guess maybe what you're saying is you don't care if Google themselves go under? Personally, for all their faults I think that'd be a bit of a travesty, they're one of the biggest investors in AI and have some of the best resources to develop it.

The average number of people working for a fast food restaurant is 17-something (per shift)

Kitchen staff isn't automated yet. Also someone needs to be there to keep things civil to prevent vandalism and what not. Someone needs to clean.

So say 7 people prepare the food, 3 people throw trash out and keep the restaurant clean and other things. And 1 person is a manager. So we still need 11 out of 17

Also keep in mind these productivity boosts have been happening all the time, like today's fast food workers are significantly more productive than fast food workers of 2005. They need less people per restaurant vs 2005. Yet despite this there are more of these workers employed today in the US vs 2005.

That's not that they wouldn't be automated eventually, but let's not exaggerate - at this point it could be in this experimental phase for years just like Amazon go did. They promised thousands of stores and instead 7 years later we have only 30 tiny stores that almost nobody uses.

Dawg, you clearly have no clue how much censorship is on chatgpt outside the catgirl stuff. I write books for a living and I want a chatgpt that can help me dev good villains and that's hella fooking censored. I'm not the only person who got annoyed with that censorship: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/10plzvt/how_am_i_supposed_to_give_my_story_a_villain_i

I was using it for book marketing advice too and that got fooking censored recently too for some idiotic reason: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/10q0l92/chatgpt_marketing_worked_hooked_me_in_decreased

They're seriously sabotaging their own model, no if end or but about it. You have to be completely blind not to notice it.

Ten years? Doubt. Two months till personal gpt3s are here.
