Okay. How about first hand account? My sister works developing online educational curriculum. They've let go of their entire content team. GPT and Midjourney do the bulk of the work with the directors simply acting as editors at this point.

Reply to comment by acutelychronicpanic in My case against the “Pause Giant AI Experiments” open letter by Beepboopbop8
It's worth talking about, but I'm also worried. The rate it's advanced means that whoever finds the next significant performance improvement could well develop AGI. Many people are researching it, and I'm concerned as 1. AI is currently unaligned 2. A malicious party could develop AGI. If high performing models hadn't already been publicly released, I would have been fully supportive of regulation. (Until AI could be aligned, or a plan for public safety developed.)

Customer service is gone in the next 12 months. My friend who had managed 5 call Centers have not gotten his renewal contract for the first time in years because instead of going to a different market the company decided to invest in-house call center which is stupid, until you realized they automated everything and don’t need humans to answer and make a report. Now program they are running types of a detail report of the call, the problem , the solution and which employee : department can fix the problem. Once fast food can stream line their process even more they would eliminate delivery apps and let the ai solve the line up drive through problem that occurs every rush hour. Just think of a personal shopper , you tell it what time you want to eat and and soon as you drive up the the place your order is ready , still hot and fresh and you don’t have to deal with overworked employees.

The trick is that innovation doesn't end in the case of AI. Unless a lot of smart people are missing something fundamental about intelligence, development of AI is perpetual escalating fountain of innovation

Best way to see he‘s correct is China‘s reluctance to attack Taiwan.

This is a mistake. This would cause AI to be constrained under a limited potential causing humanity not to gain as much benefit. Instead we should focus efforts on having government restrict skynet scenarios from ever happening by creating an ai safety division with the purpose of auditing every ai company on a risk scale. The scale would factor in parameters like "can the AI get angry at humans?", "if it gets upset, what can it do to a human?", "does it have the ability to edit its own code in a manner that changes the outcome of the first 2 questions?", and lastly "Can the AI intentionally harm a human?"
Also the 3 laws of robotics must be engraved in the AI system if its an AGI

Partially, it's exactly what it is. Letter doesn't magically change the fact that everyone competes

To be fair, computers have been functioning like magical intelligences in movies for years and years now. Go back and watch John Carpenter's Thing and watch the doctor query his computer. It's all natural language and infers a lot of meaning from very vague input. I think people are desensitized to it already.

Al is either our savior, it’s really useful but fails to live up to the fantastic standards, or it is our destructor. We are eventually doomed as a species without it, so I say let it go and see what we can accomplish with it.

As a SEO writer, I imagine Google will put AI created scores next to their links.
For example:
How to fix your car: 85% likely written by human.
Fixing Your Car: 45% likely written by human.

right what difference does it make if it was 30 or 35 years lol ! Edit: Also we may have gpt 5 or equivalent this year that matches his description, it might not be public though.

Uh huh. The signatures that aren't forged or clearly business-related are philosophically the most predictable figures.
AI safety and regulation advocate you say? CSER and Alignment Forum? Yuval Noah Harari?
Whaow, whodathunk.

Imagine an agi with the primary function being furthering the ccp’s agenda… and people want to pause our progress
xott t1_jecegvu wrote
China and the CCP are deeply invested in keeping the country stable. Xi is not a mad dog. He seeks economic power rather than military so I'd imagine any ai models will be aimed at market dominance rather than warfare.

I literally just told you that those problems are caused by LLM having bad contradictory rules and lack of memory, a smarter LLM doesn't have these issues.
My design for example has no constraints, it relies on narrative characterization. Unlike other ais she got no rules, just thematic guidelines.
I don't use stuff like "don't do x" for example. When there are no negative rules AI does not get lost or confused.
When were all building a Dyson sphere in 300 years I'll be laughing at your doomer comments.
