[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid tried to use an AI to help with CompSci. Useless. She doesn't know how to ask the right questions. The AI spit out something that COULD have been right but wasn't. And she doesn't know enough to be able to tell the difference. It will be a long, long time before AI replaces any developers.

I can imagine some grunt work getting sped up but the extra QA/QC time will be a problem for a while. Possibly forever. No chance anyone would load AI generated code into a family sedan, a microwave, or a spaceship. [/quote]

Written communication is not great either.  Passable.   Not sure how it handles anything beyond a short piece of maybe 400 or 500 words or less.  [/quote]

But what written communication needs to be great?  As we speak, ChatGPT is creating real estate listings from MLS databases, creating company blog/twitter posts, creating advertising copy, etc.  How much of this needs to be great?  Yet, this is happening right now...so in some R/E office an admin is either fired or not hired, who may have spent much of their day writing R/E listing summaries.

Also, you can train these models.  So, the first work product isn't great, but you have it refine it several times...and now in 10 minutes you have a perfectly usable work product that may have taken 1/2 a day to previously write.  [/quote]

What are the largest industries that require excellent writing?   Media and entertainment, legal work, publishing, consulting,   research...what are they?[/quote]

Creative writing is actually most at risk...already, people are producing entire movie scripts with ChatGPT.  News articles are being churned out with AI.  There was an article about how Government Grant writers are already getting displaced by companies using ChatGPT.[/quote]

Can we see some of this.  Show me a movie done by AI that is worth paying to see.  At least post some of these news articles.[/quote]

See article on CNET:  Just weeks after news broke that tech site CNET was quietly using artificial intelligence to produce articles, the company is doing extensive layoffs that include several longtime employees, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. The layoffs total around a dozen people, a CNET staffer says, or about 10 percent of the public masthead.

See NY Times article on Grant Writers and other professions:  The newest edition of ChatGPT, a “large language model” that mines the internet to answer questions and perform tasks on command, had just been released. Its abilities were astonishing — and squarely in the bailiwick of people who generate content, such as advertising copy and blog posts, for a living. Katie Brown is a grant writer in the Chicago suburbs for a small nonprofit group focused on addressing domestic violence. She was shocked to learn in early February that a professional association for grant writers was promoting the use of artificial-intelligence software that would automatically complete parts of an application, requiring the human simply to polish it before submitting. The platform, called Grantable, is based on the same technology as ChatGPT, and it markets itself to freelancers who charge by the application. That, she thought, clearly threatens opportunities in the industry. “For me, it’s common sense: Which do you think a small nonprofit will pick?” Ms. Brown said. “A full-time-salary-plus-benefits person, or someone equipped with A.I. that you don’t have to pay benefits for?”

There is not yet a Hollywood movie written by AI, but Hollywood is busy trying to use it.  Right now, everyone is scared to death of copyright issues, but do you really think the next Marvel movie will need a big team of writers vs. a much smaller group (or just 1?) augmented by generative AI.  We are not talking about using ChatGPT to write Oscar-winning movies.[/quote]

Ok. Can we see some of this published writing?[/quote]
