[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course it’s alarmist. It’s also more of an elaborate self-promo than think piece, so manipulative as well.

And despite being created with AI help, it’s poorly written.[/quote]

I didn't think it was poorly written at all. I'm a professional writer. Actually, I think it was very well written and explained these things in a very accessible way for a lay audience. [/quote]

Np. I’m a writer too, and agree it was well written. But that’s also why I think it seemed like AI helped write it. To smooth. I happen to agree with his thesis too, though I’m hoping it turns out to be a false prophecy.

Listen, if AI can do your job as well or better than you, it doesn’t mean AI is amazing - it means you’re not that good at your job.[/quote]

DP here and you are totally full of shit. [b]AI can do things that humans cannot. [/b]That’s literally the entire point. Not being able to compete with AI is not a personal failure, it’s the intentional and inevitable outcome of wealthy business owners valuing $$ over humanity. None of this is the fault of the average worker and you are way out of line to even suggest such a foolish thing. [/quote]

Like what? Provide some actual evidence to back up this assertion.[/quote]

Build, test, self correct, annd open an App in 4 hours. Read the article.[/quote]

I mean ok, but we don’t really need more apps. We can be entertained and get things all we want right now. 
 Companies need more apps so they can replace labor with apps and make more money. (Though who is going to be buying things when no one has any money is a mystery to me).

Again, you aren’t developing anything for people and humanity.  You are developing this crap to make more money for companies.  The average person will not have great life benefits from this.  The average Joe and Jane need a Rosie robot from the Jetsons to do labor we don’t want to (take out the trash, go to the grocery store, do laundry (including folding).  No one wants something that will Think for you. We don’t want it.  The only reason why people are making it is to make money. You can possibly argue that there may be diagnostic benefit for illnesses, but even those breakthroughs will not benefit most under our current insurance system. [/quote]
