Heck yes can't wait for the inevitable crash when the zillions companies are spending on data centers don't get recouperated because people don't want to pay for AI. I've got bags of popcorn ready.
 
Yoh tough one.

On one hand I'm pro-AI for it doing the work all by itself that currently requires a lot of human intervention, like robotics in factories or even simpler stuff like AI-based OCR that can read invoices and process the data and so on.

Where I'm against it somewhat is the humans talking to AI front and getting results from that and in turn over time I think people will become even dumber and have less and less common sense. The amount of people I see asking Grok idiotic questions on Twitter that just required the tiniest but of critical thinking is already a great example of this but also hilarious when Grok gets it completely wrong and people believe it and roll with it.

Creativity wise I also have some concerns because on one hand now every man has tools they never had before and that will feed into new creative ideas that didn't exist before purely through accessibility, but at the same time professional creatives stand to lose out dramatically. Then again I can also see a future where movies and other artistic media will have an "artisanal" genre for being completely non-AI generated and therefore garnering a premium.

Just this week we had an issue that we struggled to get to the bottom of and ended up feeding it into ChatGPT collectively and while it ultimately lead us down the right track to a solution, there was so much bad and outdated information in there who someone without the background knowledge would have used incorrectly and potentially catastrophically.

Let's not even get started on journalism and the bot vs bot culture we are seeing where literally you have bots generating content for bots and no longer for human consumption...that side of it is entirely ridiculous.
 
I like using chatgpt as an advanced Google and that is about it. I actively avoid every single other AI people are trying to shove down my throat.

I do not like the fact that AI is replacing human jobs. AI should be doing jobs that humans can not do or would take humans too long to do.

Bring on Human Affirmative Action!

Because that's really what's happening it's not actually designing or thinking, it's simply smashing existing stuff together in a loosely new form.

People have been told they are rather smart AI-thinking machines. These “AI” are merely LLMs, which in turn are nothing more than fancy search engines you interact with like an index that returns a result set. It’s going to be a very long time before this really catches on.
 
To augment human intelligence, sure. To replace human intelligence, no.

My current use cases are:
  • Transcribing of meetings and all the associated outputs i.e. actions, tasks etc.
  • Drafting of superficial documents (not articles or thesis, I'm talking about memo's and other non-technical textual artefacts)
  • Generating quick frameworks/templates for various business processes

I use it as such to point me in the (hopefully) right direction to find information. From there, I sort out the information from sources. It assists in my search by not requiring me to fight Google's algorithms and find the relevant information on pages 12, 18, and 37.
