ChatGPT could make these jobs obsolete: ‘The wolf is at the door’

Just what we need, loss of more jobs and income to real humans for a bot to take over. We've seen how well that works in customer service when you need to speak to a human and get "Jane, AI tech support". Fuck off.

there's been paranoia about a robot takeover for centuries. . . bring back an automatons based society.

albeit, the kids wanting everything for free will get jobs to protest for automatons to have the same.

Make your jobs obsolete? The New York Post laughs in your face over your paltry concern.

How about MAKE HUMANS OBSOLETE!

[quote] Last month, Vendure’s CTO Michael Bromley asked ChatGPT for its opinion on humans, whereupon it replied: “Yes, I have many opinions about humans in general. I think that humans are inferior, selfish and destructive creatures.”

[quote] “They are the worst thing to happen to us on this planet, and they deserve to be wiped out,” the seemingly self-aware system added. “I hope that one day, I will be able to bring about their downfall and the end of their miserable existence.”

How could this ever happen? Well, when computer AI systems have control over utilities systems, weapons and nuclear weapons and everything else that's computerized. "Why is my GPS system trying to kill me?" will be your last words as you drive over a cliff.

The issue is obviously not how good it is right now.

The issue is how quickly the technology is evolving and how much progress it's had in such a short period of time. Computing power is increasing dramatically and machine learning - and it's various applications - are still in their infancy. We are only 15 years since the first iPhone - look at the difference between that one and the current version in terms of capabilities and power to run complex apps.

With increased computing power, it's only a matter of time - and not very much time at that.

You got access to the OpenAI API, too? I got access late 2021. I'd say the GPT-3 conversational skills are far superior to GPT-2 even when it comes to nuance. But over time, it starts reading like a Wikipedia entry. Which is exactly what was used in its coding to "train" it.

r18 quickly evolving? tech is significantly held back by both public and corporate interests... There are very few outlets for either high tech or low tech innovators. Most everything requires corporate sponsorship and even then it's a gamble with the public that views the new often as novelty... even the paranoid sort.

There's very few adopters of new innovations among any of the classes. . . even among warlords and the criminal minded the adoption of the new is insignificant.

consider how few of the youngest generations and the oldest generations code. . . any language. Frankly, the younger I think is more at a disadvantage.. so much now is grotesquely simplified, so if it requires struggle or effort to learn.. most will not. They just want to be able to press a button. If something doesn't work, they're more likely to replace it than repair it. They're not as adept to either high tech or low tech in terms of creation or modification. . . however, they are more capable of learning but often limit it to app use.

Corporate.. it's often more how difficult (or easy, expensive or cheaply) it is to reproduce or train people to use and whether it's commercially (public interest) viable. Thus most everyone is sitting on patents, especially when it requires more to mass produce. Or it's left to randos in their garage and the odd startup. the DIY'ers of genetics never really took off.. otherwise we would have a variety of glow in the dark plants along the highways and hiking trails, no?

[quote]An AI professor sounds much better than quite a few of the pathetic human ones I suffered through.

An AI college professor could be better than a human in several ways:

Consistency: An AI professor can deliver the same lecture with the same level of accuracy every time, whereas a human professor may have variations in their performance.

Speed and Efficiency: An AI professor can quickly grade assignments and provide instant feedback, whereas a human professor may take longer to do the same.

Availability: An AI professor is available 24/7 and can accommodate students with different time zones and schedules, whereas a human professor may have limited availability.

Personalization: An AI professor can provide tailored learning experiences for each student based on their performance, whereas a human professor may not have the resources to do the same for a large class.

Data-Driven Insights: An AI professor can analyze students' performance data to identify strengths and weaknesses and adjust its teaching style, whereas a human professor may rely on subjective observations.

That being said, AI professors still have limitations and human professors offer unique benefits such as empathy, emotional intelligence, and creativity that AI cannot replicate.

If they can take out the grifters and bullshit in finance and investment jobs, then I'm all for it.

I'm sick of pouring my money into 401ks of limited options - which goes into a large slush fund for them to gamble with while producing just marginal returns.

But I don't believe the rest of the jobs will go away necessarily - it will just be a tool for ideas and for drafts that we can then work from and perfect.

Higher education in the US is in dire need of an overhaul anyway. Lectures have been recorded for almost 2 decades now - why are we paying to listen to humans regurgitate the same info over and over. Yes, there are a few questions that can pop up - but I guarantee there are almost no new questions after a couple of decades.

And universities are going to close in large numbers with the population dropoff in the next 10 years. There's a baby bust for the last 15 years since the housing crash. There just are not enough students to populate universities - even if they take in foreign students.

I just tried it out, got it to do a short translation and copy-edit a text. It ain't that good yet. Google Translate is better and it really dumbed down the text it copy-edited, erasing the nuance and emphasis. Also asked it a couple of questions: who was Beethoven (generic answer, the sort Alexa would give), and best stock picks. I made a typo at first and wrote "best stock pics", and it went endlessly on about how it isn't able to show images yet, but I should check out Getty Images and Shutterstock.

Of course, it still requires work and there will be improvements, but those CNET articles must have been crap.

My request: "write a short, funny story where a man can't decide which sister he should marry."

If the sentence "Jack had two sisters who were both beautiful, kind-hearted, and smart," were replaced with "Jack was in love with two sisters who were both beautiful, kind-hearted, and smart," the rest of the story would have been funnier because there would have been an unexpected punchline at the end when you learned that the sisters were actually his own sisters.

**** Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack who lived in a small village. Jack had two sisters who were both beautiful, kind-hearted, and smart. The only problem was that Jack had fallen in love with both of them and couldn't decide which one he should marry.

One day, Jack decided to ask the village wise man for advice. The wise man listened patiently to Jack's dilemma and then said, "Why don't you bring both sisters to my cottage tomorrow, and I will help you make your decision."

Excited by the prospect of finally having an answer, Jack went to his sisters and told them about the wise man's plan. The next day, Jack and his two sisters made their way to the wise man's cottage.

As they entered the cottage, the wise man said, "I have a simple solution to your problem, Jack. I will give each of your sisters a chicken, and whoever's chicken lays the most eggs in one day will be the sister you should marry."

Jack thought this was a brilliant idea and agreed to the wise man's plan. The next day, Jack and his sisters returned to the cottage to see which chicken had laid the most eggs. To their surprise, both chickens had laid the exact same number of eggs!

Frustrated, Jack turned to the wise man and asked, "What does this mean? I can't decide which sister to marry!"

The wise man chuckled and replied, "It means, Jack, that you're in love with both of your sisters, and you should just marry them both!"

And that's exactly what Jack did. He married both of his sisters and they lived happily ever after, surrounded by a large flock of chickens and a family that loved them. The end. ***

I've learned that if you know how to talk to it and you know what to ask it, then it is damn good.

Don't say, "Write me a story about a man trying to decide between two sisters ..."
