I’ve seen the movies. It doesn’t end well. Only John Connor can save us.

Even working in the software industry, it makes me very wary, although the genie ain’t going back in the bottle.

We had a presentation recently about how AI is going to “help” Developers with the presenter quickly saying “not replace Developers of course just assisting them” but it rang kind of hollow.

I joked with a colleague, who doesn’t see the risk about how “First they can for the Product Managers…..”

But it’s more then that. Our data is making us very predictable, and more easily manipulated to those with the know how. Allowing us to be targeted. Don’t be naive and think you’re immune.

AI won’t replace you, the people using AI will.

If anyone should be worried, it should be journalists.

Because of my upbringing AI to me meana Artificial Insemination. Or, to an older generation, ‘The Bull Man’.

They should have called it Skynet for the craic.

But on a more serious note, I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

Imagine it! We could get a journal article summarised.

Can’t stop modern tech. from enhancing the world. The possibilities are endless. Imagine what our fore father’s thought of tech advances. Were they worried? Did it stop progression? Imagine a world where modern techs hadn’t helped medical advances for example…

We still haven’t figured out how to deal with the massive problems from Facebook etc generally and high speed internet more generally

Misinformation, polarisation, social isolation, sexual impotence, espionage etc

Is this like Hal the computer in Kubrick’s film ’2001: a Space Odyssey’ deciding to take over from those malleable humans? I’ll be wary. We should all aim to do our own thinking and cultivate our own feelings.

I’ve been using plenty of these AI tools in recent months, ChatGPT, DeepStory, Stable Diffusion, Play.ht ,etc, they are all incredible tools, but people don’t wanna bother learning about how useful they are, they’d rather just reference terminator, which only proves to show how ignorant and uninformed they are.

Great, super, wonderful. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.

No-one should interact with any AI technology as our interactions will only increase its power as it is just learning more and more about us.

The option ‘Nothing at all’ sums it up. Not that I feel nothing at all, but that AI will feel nothing at all, bar it’s algorithms. But same could be said about many humans. But yes, excited, but hopefully apprehensive. Hurry up with the robots so.

The idea of a job will change. Could AI middle manage the HSE? Almost definitely, can AI drive better? yup, but what do we all the do? Maybe do what you’re interested in but then most people aren’t interested in anything. There’s a few theories smashing about, I like Fully Automated Luxury Communism :) https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/07/world-without-work/395294/

We’re all doomed, I tell ye…..

New AI is all showy algorithms and snazzy coding. Not like the old days, that was real AI.

Intelligence, noun.

1. the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
2. the collection of information of military or political value.

Artificial, adjective:

1. made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.
2. insincere or affected.

One would be forgiven for considering the secondary definition as the primary, these days. But do not fear, even the inimitable John Carmack calls BS on the whole thing, apart from the (above) secondary definitions.

Anything that replaces humans in Jobs, is a no no. A step to far. While these make billions it leaves people vulnerable, just look at last few months in tech sector.
