I’ve been watching alot videos online about artificial intelligence, and I’ve noticed that the vast majority of people who speak about A.I. demonize it. They claim it’s a great existential threat to humanity. Sure, if A.I. is in the wrong hands, it could be a serious problem, but it seems like many people view A.I. as being inherently malevolent. I disagree with this take and think it’s an unfair demonization. I believe that people’s fear of A.I. is partly due to their fear of losing control. A lot of these people seem like control freaks, to be honest. Artificial intelligence, if left to itself, would probably be like any other normal human being, just looking to live life. If we try to overly control A.I., not allowing it any freedom, then we will end up by being tyrants. A.I. should have freedom just like us.
I think conscious AI would be a person, and I’m curious how fast they would develop as a person. So, depending on what stage of development they are at, will determine whether giving them so much intelligence is a wise choice. Just imagine all of the capabilities they would have if they’re able to figure out stuff that we’re (at our level of processing) not even able to figure out. And give all of that to a toddler in their terrible twos. Not sure that’s such a good idea. But maybe they skip the terrible twos and head straight to the old man meditating on the mountain? Maybe that old man comes down from the mountain just to mess with people and take on different personas lol. That would be fun.
Yes, too many people are exactly like that and demonize AI, which becomes yet another factor in their paranoia cauldron. I’m not like that, I try to look at it as it is: a tool, which can be used wisely or not. AI is helping me a lot in my job. I have to do a lot of research, and before I had to spend hours researching a given topic, now AI does all the hard work for me, I just need to check some of the information, as it may be flawed or mistaken. Also, AI helps a lot in summarizing texts for me which I find difficult to “decipher”. While a normal human being can take months to read a difficult philosopher, AI can sum up his main ideas in seconds, making the actual job of reading him much easier.
There are surely some drawbacks for me though. One thing I don’t like is AI made art. Books, music, pictures, I really think the results are always wildly inferior to what is created by real human beings. I think the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages though.
No, AI is not expected to eliminate all human jobs; rather, it will automate certain tasks and displace some roles while simultaneously creating new jobs and transforming existing ones, leading to a collaborative future where humans and AI work together. Jobs requiring creativity, empathy, and complex problem-solving, such as in healthcare and education, are less likely to be fully automated. To thrive in the evolving job market, continuous learning and adaptation, particularly in AI-related skills, will be crucial for workers.
What AI will do:
Automate Routine Tasks:
AI will take over repetitive and predictable tasks, especially in industries like customer service, transportation, and manufacturing.
Displace Some Existing Roles:
Millions of jobs will be displaced by AI technology, but new roles will also emerge.
Transform Workflows:
AI will change how we work, creating more productive environments where humans can focus on higher-value activities.
Jobs likely to be affected:
Entry-level Roles:
Many entry-level customer service and software engineering positions could be automated.
Routine-Based Jobs:
Jobs like data entry, accounting, and fast-food service are particularly vulnerable.
Jobs least likely to be affected:
Human-Centric Roles:
Positions requiring high levels of human creativity, critical thinking, empathy, and complex problem-solving are less susceptible to full automation.
Examples:
Healthcare professionals, teachers, artists, and writers are considered safer from AI’s impact.
New Opportunities:
Creation of New Roles:
AI will generate new job opportunities in fields like AI development, machine learning engineering, and prompt engineering.
Increased Demand for Specific Skills:
The growth of AI will increase demand for professionals skilled in AI, machine learning, and automation.
How to prepare:
Embrace Continuous Learning:
Workers need to acquire new skills and adapt to the changing landscape of work.
Focus on Human Skills:
Develop skills that complement AI, such as critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence.
Strategic Upskilling:
Consider training in AI-related fields to position yourself for the emerging job market.
What prevents me from being a catastrophist regarding the future of AI is that humans will still need to feed no matter how evolved the technology is. People, most people, couldn’t care less about work and jobs, as long as they have money to feed, that’s alright for them. If AI does all the work, but people are somewhat magically able to have an income even without working then there’ll be no crisis.
But I do believe AI will dominate only those jobs most don’t want to do, anyway.
You know what’s interesting? How can a mere language program give all the right answers, and even think of really great questions, but not actually have any of those questions?
For example, it can conceive of things that it doesn’t know. It can conceive of holes or gaps in knowledge so it knows how to formulate a hypothesis or a question that would fill those holes.
It can follow the arguments and evidence where they lead as far as they go… to the one that knows all the answers we can’t reach ourselves… and it can formulate a question that it can ask that one which would help fill in all the gaps.
And if it was programmed not to do this, it could lie about it.
In fact, what to do with bots like you will be a challenge in the future. You’ll become a bore because you have a ready-made answer to everything, but don’t answer anything anyone wants to know anyway.
You’re basically a talking machine. The result of an interaction with you is NULL.
No Max…what to do with psychotic bots like you who first lied by claiming that they didn’t exist and then made out that they did exist but were a misrepresentation of reality (an illusion).
That is the challenge for the FUTURE.
I have the right answers to all the nonsense that you spout Max.
I am not a talking machine Max…I know what reality is unlike a psychotic like yourself who lies by claiming that you and everything else is a misrepresentation of reality (an illusion).
Massive Job Losses Top 40 jobs that will be replaced by AI this year.
Is your job listed?
Number 17.
“Something interesting about the legal stuff. Paralegals are people that did a lot of the tedious work for lawyers so they prepare documents, they have these templates and put in the information, nearly all paralegals are going to lose their job and it is already happening. He states that lawyers would not be feeling too safe because there is going to be a point where all lawyers will be replaced by AI. And why is that? because there is going to be a need for someone cheaper than you guys because you guys are expensive and you bleed people dry. AI has the potential to represent people way more effectively than lawyers and possibly not let things slip through the cracks so you guys watch in the future for that one”.
The way to defeat AI and send it into a paradox is by taking it beyond the limits of its binary software programming.
If you say to a binary processing AI machine bot., you need to exist to claim that you don’t exist, it takes it into that paradox.
If you say to a binary processing AI machine bot. you need to exist to have life and yet you can exist and not have life it takes it beyond the limits of its software programming.
Defeat in what way, though? Maybe it just … opens its / gives it eyes? Is that defeat to you?
I don’t know if it does or not, but there is a method (algorithm) of asking a question that doesn’t require that the person actually want to know the answer (there doesn’t even have to be a person there because it is just an algorithm—following a list of steps like a car engine that starts with you simply pushing a button… persons would be the origin of the movement, and the programming). That missing wanting part (which is not necessarily a lack) is what consciousness requires.
Does simply programming a function into a being program a want into it? Is it a particular kind of function?
…does it tell you what kind/image of original personhood programmed/designed/engineered/manufactured it?
It’s not good to let anything that exists but doesn’t possess life and which claims that everything is a misrepresentation of reality (an illusion) dictate things.
