Our jobs are on the Line - AI is on the case!

OpenAI’s GPT‑3 is now generating billions of words every day.

Looks like some of us could be out of a job sooner than we think!

https://singularityhub.com/2021/04/...thm-is-now-producing-billions-of-words-a-day/

Extract: Developers with early API access quickly discovered surprising capabilities: GPT‑3 could write passable poetry, produce decent code, solve simple math problems, and—with a bit of editing—even draft news articles.

If it can already “produce decent code,” how long before it’s cranking out full Microsoft Access applications?

this will not happen. nothing beat human intellect. machine can not beat a brain. brain evolves. machine does not. machine learns only. brain not composted of bits and bytes. sorry. this will yes take hold in big cities. not outside. not to some degree anyway

I have a theory to propose...

What came first, the chicken or the egg? Did organic life form come before silicon AI? Are you sure? On earth it appears that humans evolved from organic roots. But could those roots have been delivered by an asteroid? This delivery mechanism could be the result of silicon AI always being out there in the ether, and they designed organic life forms. They seeded the universe via asteroids.

You may say, well someone must have created these silicon life forms? I would answer, who created the universe?

Edit: Just thought that organic life forms could have created AI, then AI creates some organic life forms, then organic life forms create new AI and so on.

I think what you say is beyond my skill level or thought level

Not. That Hollywood not real life

Furthermore I don't think any date accurate

Taking all of the science fiction type of plots out there, about essentially self-governing and self-improving technology (like you're mentioning), I rarely see any discussion of the possibility that the computer actually decides the human race should be preserved.

Could there be any path to an ultimate logic-conclusion by the AI, where the outcome is to preserve and uphold the human race? Best case scenario we'd probably be work-slaves though!

While it is in the realm of science fiction, Isaac Asimov wrote a short story that every programmer should read. It is called "The Last Question" and is one of his most famous works. It puts a whole new spin on AI. Search for it, you might find a readable copy online.

AI may be able to write better code than I can, but let's see it deal with the pesky users!

Excellent point!

See if it can take "I want a report that shows me the important stuff" , to, code.

Does anyone else think it's a really bad idea to send welcome messages into the cosmos?

Galaxy Quest?

Yes, I have a very low bar for sci-fi entertainment.

The original Alien when Sigourney Weaver climbs into the spacesuit near the end of the movie is one of the most paused video moments in the history of video.

like in terminator? ha ha ha

exactly! anyone know this?

OpenAI’s new language generator GPT-3 is shockingly good—and completely mindless

The AI is the largest language model ever created and can generate amazing human-like text on demand but won't bring us closer to true intelligence.

I am reminded of a phrase I learned in college regarding helping people with their computer classwork: "Artificial intelligence cannot cope with natural stupidity."

 

[conception_native_0123]

I thought you say earlier something about victims? Seem to me doc man that you don't like people lol

 

[The_Doc_Man]

In terms of liking or disliking people, I do not generalize as often as others might. People who are willing to think and to consider the opinions of others always have my respect and I often like them. Even if I disagree with someone's ideas, I can still like the person. I try (but being human and therefore fallible, sometimes fail) to avoid "judging a book by its cover."

For instance, even though you and I have different viewpoints about corporations, I still think you are a good person.

Thank you very much!
