Artificial Intelligence (Previously "Chat GPT")

I'm using prompts created through ChatGPT to generate images in MidJourney. Very happy with the results

Musk and others are calling for a pause on further development of AI beyond Chat GPT 4 until its implications for society can be understood.
Fat chance this is going to happen. Lawmakers are way behind the curve on technology.
LOL We'll put that up there with things more likely to happen such as a late call up to the All Blacks for antipodean.
AI is an arms race and to be six months behind is an eternity. How would you police that anyway?

Been playing around with Whisper OpenAI's speech recognition model to generate subtitles for some old movies I have collected.
It's pretty amazing and gives an accuracy of about 95-98% with most of the errors around names and places with music & background noise causing most of the other errors. I'd estimate clean-up to 100% accurate subtitles would take about 1 or 2 hours - it's certainly going to hit professional transcribers quite hard, I think.
Those with a technical bent can read about it here

Call it what you want. A LOT of people are about to lose their jobs - imo

I'd probably flip it - it's going to drive a real change in productivity and efficiency, and that's going to wind up either in more shit getting done, or fewer people working.
What we don't know is where the effort's going to go with the extra time. I can't see it as a bad thing; it's like machinery destroying jobs of human wheat harvesters - overall, it is still a better outcome for the collective.

I think a lot of jobs will disappear but, as with IT killing off shorthand and typing, newer jobs and roles we haven't even begun to think about will spring up.
Just need to manage the transition well.

The speed and extent of the change is the scary thing. Unprecedented in human history I suspect

Could make the last few years look like a slug on Mogadon. And the IT/Telecoms infrastructure is already in place to roll it out to everyone and everywhere at serious speed.

@Victor-Meldrew I use opera browser and yesterday it popped up with a chat GPT sidebar as well as another AI I wasn't familiar with. It's going to move fast
It's also got I recommendations on the search bar.
The rate of change is accelerating

It's both. More productivity and lots of job losses.
As with any fundamental change, there will also be new jobs. The problem, as others have mentioned, is the pace of change. We've never had this sort of disruption this fast.
For example, the Tesla self driving is getting very, very good. That AI side of things could take out taxi drivers/truck drivers in the next ten years.
That's two very large industries.

Really? I am sure you are wiser to the goings on with self drive cars than I am, but the little bits I have read lately suggest the technology is proving more difficult than first thought and self driving vehicles may be further away than anticipated.

Version 11 is pretty close, they are solving many of the issues that they get criticised for;
