Does Anyone Else Feel Like Everything Has Changed? There is also this feeling that the whole world is holding it's breath. Almost as though we are all waiting for some catalyst or sign or event that puts an end to this feeling of being put on hold. This vague unexplained unease. Everyone is disconnected from each other and there’s no longer any respect or tolerance for each other. No one likes to communicate in person anymore and everyone does things only for money rather than for purpose and meaning. We also have a loneliness epidemic.
One of the best comments I 've read in a long time. Very true, very sad and real. Whatever has to happen , I prefer to see it sooner than later, or not to see it at all.
Although things were changing for a while, for myself November 2022 was the most radical shift I have ever experienced. In that November my mom died, and while I was desperately trying to figure out a way to cope, ChatGPT gets released and reawakens my AI obsession that I held since I was a kid. I was always terrified of death, even as a kid, and I spent years coping by believing that emerging technologies might cure aging eventually. But in the last couple of years, I kind of got busy working and having a family, so for the first time ever I totally forgot about my geeky obsessions. Just when I came to terms with my mortality, and the fact that technology just isn't progressing rapidly enough to save us, this thing gets released and totally unsettles me once again.
@@djomegaminus we already can't. Malicious people already cut out key parts of video to change it's meaning. I don't think that will change much, as it maintains plausible deniability.
I've lived my whole life watching technology devalue everything I learned how to do. It won't be long until this is everyone's experience.. Oh, Brave New World.
it's true. a.i. is already running the show. it's not going to roll out robots to replace us, it's just going to devalue our standard of living and have us working to death 14 hours a day to go home to not a home that you own, but an appartment and a bowl of noodles. slowly working us to death in a world of no families, no friends no society. just a slow lonely death grinding your life away.
The comment at 17:37 'If an AI can replace my job, then I don't think I'm doing a good job' illustrates the common flaw in people's ability to see the massive potential of AI.
Yes, it can make us all feel inadequate and not special. It will given time, data, and better and better algorithms and computers be able to do everything it can do now better than any of us. There may still be limits, but we haven't reached them yet. AI shows we aren't special snowflakes, and everything we do can be duplicated by algorithms and that upsets people.
Exactly this. When we use AI that is trained on massive amounts of data it is more accurate to view the AI as the best of everyone in the world. If AI is trained with the best art in the world, then it will always be the best concept artist in the world - the average person can never compete and so will be replaced wholesale by this technology.
@@catsgotmytongue We are special snowflakes because no one has lived your life but you. Everything is special but at the same time its not. Plenty of animals can out do us physically but we hold our intellect above them. Okay AI has intellect and machines have physical prowess. But our emotions and abstract thought to create an AI in the first place, is clearly something they won't truly feel just replicate. I had a friend once tell me they were afraid of a future where a Chobit could be real.
Not to mention, he's only looking at it from his own perspective, thinking he's safe. Some employer's might not see it that way, if they can get similar work from AI for much cheaper.
It can be used for good, the guy says, and it can be used for bad. In my seven decades on this earth, corporations and governments have consistently made the wrong choice regardless of the technology.
@@dreadfulbodyguard7288 I'm 72. I cannot say the world has improved much in the last 50 years. And I'm not a luddite. Owned a software company for 20 years and still work full time in IT.
@@jamespowers8826 I come from India. I see that my life is significantly better than life of my parents and definitely grandparents. Perhaps the improvement in developing world is more visible than developed world.
@@dreadfulbodyguard7288 Definitely the case that life is improving in the developing world more so than the developed world. America, especially, suffers a lot from the have/have not divide where life for the ultra rich is becoming even better, but for everyone else it's stagnant. Europe isn't quite like that, and Australia is definitely getting better.
That feeling you have while watching this is our collective uneasiness at witnessing the birth of something that could destroy us forever and being powerless to stop it
It's suppose to replace you. That's why the overpopulation narrative is pushed so much. It's not a conspiracy, it's more like man's psyche trying to deal with his own extinction.
I am much more afraid that we will destroy ourself with this technology than the technology itself. I just don't think we humans and citizens and our political systems are ready. The tech itself is not dangerous by itself.
Most people aren't very good at extrapolating out the implications of anything. It's sad that people don't see how destructive AI will be. Skynet can't be stopped, apparently.
Best case scenario for me personally... I no longer have to work, but can still strive to improve myself in ways that I actually want to and have loads of free time for hobbies. Worse case scenario is difficult to predict but I'd imagine it could be pretty much 1984 on steroids.
magine a world where significant parts of the digital native population decides to collectively put their lives off the internet again. Music and bookstores and culture venues and so on pop up back into life, and news spread from mouth to mouth. That actually sounds a bit more interesting than where we currently seem to be headed.
@@eyoo369 Yes, my first thought was actually closer to that, about the Butlerian Jihad. That the uneasy feeling that artists right now may feel about generative AI companies seeming to ... drink their milkshake ... is perhaps a glimpse into how the story of those future Neo-Luddites in the Dune universe might have begun. So, I wondered in which scenario people turn Luddite out of necessity rather than ideology. But then, distraction with idle nostalgia seemed more pleasant.
The only people who are optimistic about it are the handful of people who will vacuum up the money from the millions of jobs lost. That’s all it is, further consolidating money in the hands of a few.😊😊
My thoughts exactly. People wonder what is the end goal for creating something like this. Easy, money. Who cares about how many people it will affect. Business mentality
These interviewees seem to be very disturbed despite what they say. People will become confused, feel useless, this will just deepen the collective depression of uselessness we already feel.
AI is nothing more than an amplification of human thoughts. I find it incredible that on one hand people get upset if you are certain about something but on the other hand put all of their trust in a technology built and inherently biased by humans to be certain about everything.
Honestly, it is no worse than trusting politicians, priests, lawyers, doctors, scientists, or whoever/whatever else. Anyone and everyone should be *free* to trust whoever and whatever they want.
That's not happening atm and they're making sure that it doesn't. Chatgpt for example has humans changing what it can output and as a result creating political and cultural bias.
AI has a lot of potential, but I find some of the tech creators’ arrogance to be saddening. I don’t think they’ve really considered the implications of unleashing this technology wholesale into all aspects of society. I think they also underestimate the capabilities of bad actors. Is it because they’re pursuing the bottom line? I dunno. But I don’t think they are nearly as cautious as they ought to be.
I like to think a majority of people are invigorated and excited for some genuine momentum that moves society. Because right now we are in a state with a endless soft “problems” to solve that we never could entertain before, absent access to tools such as this. People are both scared and excited because this innovation will push us to adapt very quickly to any and all of the implications that begin cascading throughout our economy the next 2 years especially. This finally feels like that moment, it was almost like a light switch with apps already integrating and interacting with each other leveraging AI. Feels like we have just lifted everyone’s ability to process information quicker with a tool that we do not have a reference point for. I feel fortunate to have grown up ushering in dial up into broadband. The internet was so poppin back then and changing so quickly, our older generations really had to wait for it to come to them. We’re in that spot now again.
The creators are being paid by people who know very well they can slave entire populations if not entire humanity with it. Example given: the plandemic.
@@juankplaysmusic you are so bent on thinking about the negative there is no light in between us for an actual convo. But I can understand your concerns. Mine are more balanced though

oh hai human, nice weather today amirite. I agree with you. Every seems to be going nuts. We should schedule a zoom meeting the one of us who are still intact
“If ai can replace my job then i’m not doing a good job.” That’s today, when a.i. is a baby. 5 years ago no one though’t it’d be making art. Today illustrators (even the best ones) are at a real risk. It’s not the current state of programs that’s frightening; it’s the fact that they learn so fast.
@@TheCephalus It will be capable of doing everything a human does but better, faster, and cheaper. As soon as your clients have access to this program there will simply be no reason to hire you. That is assuming you own the business.If you are an employee you will be replaced much sooner.
This is just going to widen the gap between us common folk and billionaires and mega corporations. And it does so in unethical ways that impede on our rights. I love automation. I love computers, and digital tools. But until AI can be trained only ethically, and greed isn't incentivized... As long as the implications of this as a whole are dystopian, I just can't get behind it. AI will be used to aggressively milk consumers and keep the masses subdued. We are hurdling toward a horrible future. It's hard to even enjoy things when the implications make me feel nauseated.
Do you mean increasing the gap by providing free and powerful tools for free in exchange of data collection? Bro they’re doing it since the birth of the first computer.
Yeahhh all of the most populated countries already look like their own Black Mirror episodes so more technology without societal corrections will just feed the already present dystopias. It’s not the technologies though, it’s what we’ve done.
It should at least be made open source, so everyone has access to it. OpenAI is already private, their code is private, and it's been handed over to mega corporations and the government.
Don't be fooled! AI will crush the value of everything it creates down to a worthless commodity and all the value created will go to the giant tech companies.
Exactly this. Worse still, they use the very data of the people who created the value in the first place, (eg artists in the case of midjourny) and drain every value out of these people until there is nothing left but a barren wasteland of ai generated content and all the profits flow to a couple tech giants, instead of lots of small creators trying to make ends meet. I despise those that actually defend these corporations. This is going to be a huge disaster.
Money is just the most exchangeable commodity (or used to be, before royalty and governments messed with it). It's a fantastic system, when left alone.
I feel the need to point out that if you give calulators to children too early, they will never learn the logic behind multiplication. And big tech will guide our thoughts in a learned dogmatic way. We must not give away every processual learning to dead matter.
The calculator makes learn multiplication useless just like having a car makes knowing how to ride a horse useless. Sure if society falls and we are in a dystopia, you won't know how to ride a horse or work out 15×34 but would you really care at that point?
@@promptgods Yes, thats the temptedness of it. It simplifies and make useless the very ability of thinking. I dont know if that's a good thing in evolusion of human being...
@@mkartmkart6335 It allows a higher level of thinking beyond basic creative labor. Ideas and mental power will be the new currency because there is no barrier to manifesting your creation. This is the beginning of our acceleration towards God hood 🙏🏽
There's a finite pool of human attention. Every single image / song / animation created by the A.I. draws from that one finite global pool of attention. The attention pool is expanding, but the expansion rate is nowhere near as fast as the expansion of A.I.-generated art. Every single A.I. piece of art on a cover of a magazine means it wasn't a human's artwork that was selected for said cover. Even if you leave all ethical considerations aside, the fact is jobs and people are already being displaced from the global attention pool since the output of high-quality virtual products will now start increasing exponentially.
I don't get Gates point here. If generative ai can do anything better and more efficiently then what incentive is there for a human being to actually learn anything if the effect of that won't ever emerge ? The developing brain needs to be stimulated and right now we understand that well enough. This is why children don't use calculators in the early stage. This in fact helps them develop and increases their chances on the global market. Now we're at the brink of a time where this will no longer be true. The ability to think may become greatly devalued.
@@hdjwkrbrnflfnfbrjrmd If others are a lot better at what I do for a living then yeah - I'll stop because the market forces me to stop. If a piece of software can write essays, solve problems - do things a lot better than the average Joe then the average Joe is obsolete because no one will pay for Joe's skills. If skills are devalued then people stop pursuing getting skills and education.
@@hdjwkrbrnflfnfbrjrmd Your mistake is thinking this situation is like a human to human case. It's not. AI is dirt cheap, doesn't need vacation and doesn't have attitudes. If it gets to human autonomy levels then I have no doubt it will push a lot of people out - because businesses will prefer the easier and cheaper option and this is what I meant when I wrote that the market will force me to stop.
Forget AI, we're already at the point where "thinking for yourself" and "doing your own research" are literally being prosecuted as criminal. I think AI is great because it outperforms the academic oligarchs of knowledge and puts the power of such high learning in the hands of the governed. I for one am thrilled about this tumultuous social overhaul; IMO it's comparable to when literacy first started to become commonplace-and shackling AI with filters is comparable to past centuries of desperate slaveholders (internationally) suppressing literacy in order to maintain social control & economic status quo. If AI can teach students new skills better than conventional teachers can, it is ACTIVELY HARMFUL to hold students back in conventional learning institutions just so that human teachers don't have to adapt to new personal economic strategies possibly with less ENTIRELY SELFISH social prestige. 🤯
AI isn't going to divulge your information to people using AI. And algorithms long collected your personal information, which is why Facebook and Google and other tech companies make money allowing as to use the internet. Without that fact the internet would not be free. So yeah that was the case a long, long time ago. Long before GPT.
@@robbie3877 AI will work in tandem with government security/agenda. Why do you think the plandemic was deployed? Yep, to further stablish the basis of a surveillance State.
Meta is already in crazy hot water and has had terrible implications on society. Imagine if Meta gets a hold of even weak AI. They could abuse any single users mind. You think Tim told algorithm is borderline addicting. Just wait.
this'll decimate many, many jobs for art directors, illustrators, designers, etc.... corporations would 110% pay an AI a fraction of the cost rather than hire a more expensive, potentially difficult human
Money doesn't care about whether or not someone is doing a good job, it only cares if the job is being done "good enough", and if "good enough" can be achieved without a human component, then that is what money will do. This is going to cause societal trouble like the techies cannot possibly imagine from their blinkered places of privilege.
it applies to humans already... i once had a manager who was hiring and when i told them we wouldn't get someone great for that amount of money they were offering, they said "they don't have to be great, just good enough" 😔
I honestly believe that AI won't try to hurt us on purpose, no more than we actually try to hurt the bugs that smash against our windshields while driving. AI I believe, will do to humans what humans have done to plants, animals and insects. It will overpower humans, and do with humans what it chooses. Imagine bots as tall as trees, as strong as 100 horses, smarter than all humans combined, and as fast as a stealth bomber. 💯
This is going to destroy imagination and creativity. If you can just type what you're thinking and AI can create it for you, you don't develop skill from the work, from the attempts and failures to reach your goal. This will cripple people
How do you figure people will become less imaginative if they're spending all their time imagining things into existence? Seems to me any time people do a thing a bunch they tend to get better at it not worse.
If unregulated, generative AI will undermine economic ecosystems and collapse multiple industries. This is not alarmist fear-mongering, it's unfortunately the reality. Anyone with a basic understanding of economics understands this.
I agree, but whenever I mention this to people, no one seems to care. What happens when we automate 90% of the US workforce in a short timeframe? What's the federal government response going to be?
And the fate is human intelligence will be surpassed by artificial intelligence because we already live in a world that's artificial from financial markets to media, culture and entertainment. AI isn't some magical things its decades of technological advancements coupled with societal - economic changes.
2:30 thats simply not true. A "General AI" does not have to be, or may never be, "concious" or self-aware. General AI simply means it can do anything you ask, and will behave as a person. Emulating a person isnt the same as BEING a person.
I am an artist whose livelihood is under threat but I worry more about the AI being used in drone weapons. When there is no human cost for war (on your side) what will stop governments from doing really bad things (already happening)?
Yeah, all those terrible algos that optimize the distribution and logistics of agriculture transportation(and optimization) is so terrible. Ethiopia hasn't even had a famine recently.
@@derp195 Well then quantify the game as a negative sum, positive sum, or zero sum form. The world, right now, is literally better than the day you were born. In the macro scale form. Maybe something about your life is unpleasant, yet the world at large is significantly better than even 30 years ago. And beyond that, the quality of life changes are even more rapid and exponential.

It's worth pointing out that, just recently, a copyright on a recently published comic was redacted by the US copyright office, when it was discovered that the art that was used in the comic had been AI generated. Specifically, all the text in the comic (meaning, the story itself) remains under copyright and what was excluded was specifically the AI-generated imagery.
@@rottendirty meaning all the art in the comic is not under copyright, so anyone can use that art and just put their own text on it sell it if they want
But that doesnt make sense. As it was a human using the AI tool to create the art. The inanimate computer did not create the art fully by itself, it required an input grammer or syntax to create the output.
What goes around comes around. Eventually, those who are working to destroy the livelihoods of others (to the point of stealing their work) will see their own livelihoods destroyed.
@@softan That remains to be seen. Coders whose work was stolen are already upset about this, so I'm pretty sure it's real. Hopefully, these coders can come up with solutions.

Well I'm truly shocked that Bill Gates, the co founder and largest shareholder of Microsoft who are in partnership with openAI, endorses AI. Well colour me surprised!
High tech companies should be supported but should never be given the power to shape the future of humanity. Otherwise, we will most probably be living in doomed dystopia as soon as possible.
This is like what Spotify has done to the music industry, where only a few at the top make all the money. But this time every industry will be affected. One thing is for sure...We won't go down without a fight.
fighting what ? lol . americans are so silly, you all will do everything possible but take down capitalism. Yall rather do everything instead of actually getting the working class together and take it down. Its silly
People used to say only a human could do calculations - "calculators" were literal humans who would sit at a desk and crunch numbers. Guess what happened to them? It doesn't matter if you fight or not, this technology is here to stay.
The crazy thing about AI in its primitive state right now is that it takes time, not just having the tech up front, in order to train an AI to "think" for itself. The ones who jumped in early, like OpenAI, have a distinct time advantage over the other companies that are just getting started. This will be an interesting race to see whose company comes out on top. I just hope, for the sake of the world, that it isn't Tencent (monopolistic company in China) because they're a massive shareholder in the global tech space and are directly controlled by the CCP. Imagine an authoritarian, communist government winning the AI arms race. Tencent already has complete control over the lives of 30% of the global population because it controls the software that gives Chinese people social credit scores.
One could argue the start was the plandemic. Remember catastrophic (flawed, probably deliberately) computer predictions (AI) were used by WHO and governments to justify the brutal lockdowns.
The usefulness of AI directly correlates with how much data it exploits from people who put work into creating that data, so, some form of compensation will undoubtedly be required, especially if it ends up replacing jobs.
AI doesn't exploit data any more than a human artist who gets inspired by other people work and they create their own work based on that inspiration (or exploitation in your eyes)
@@abercrombieuser12345This is simply not correct, it uses data online and other peoples case studies and discussions to learn and therefore it’s literal plagiarism just re wrote into its own words.
@@Smurfis just like art students at university use other peoples art, case studies and discussions to learn, before creating their own art based on those influences 🤔
Weird Al can claim fair use because his parodies are transformative and don't severely impact the business of the original creator. Stable Diffusion may be transformative, but as it gets better it will be an absolute train wreck for the businesses of the creators of the digital artwork used to train it, many of whom do not earn all that much to begin with. How can that be "fair use"?
It used? It's simply following prompts so if someone wants it to imitate already existing art it will. It can create original art but it's up to the user to use AI fairly, it isn't up to the neural network itself. It's doing what people are asking it to do. It isn't using the copyrighted art. People are, technically, because the AI is an extension of their intent. It's gathering the information and data but it's being asked to. Get my point? It's the people prompting it that are using the AI to do that. It isn't the will or intent of AI causing these copyright breaches. That's really the responsibility of the user, for using the neural network that way. And what do you consider original art? Clearly every artist uses commonly used and commonly known images from their environment, and what they see. Nothing is truly original. If it's using certain images in an original way, is that copyright? It's like saying that a musician can copyright another musician because they used the same musical notes. All music art is the same notes used in a different pattern and images or visual art isn't very different. So what's fair use? Nobody can copyright the image of cat, for example. A cat is a common image. So is the AI creating the image of a cat in exactly the same way as another human artist has, for example, or is it putting an original spin on it? That latter is a very different thing. And that's why there are many different artistic impressions of cats. Now some might have similarities, among them but are they exactly identical? That's the question. If they are it is copyright. Yes. If not then it's not. Music copyright works in exactly the same way. The musical pattern or vocals or lyrics in general must be very close to the same to be a copyright breach. It can't just be an original product that's similar and be deemed a breach of copyright. That's not copyright. Since the AI is creating so many images of course there will be similarly produced human generated art that compares to AI generated art but how many are exactly identical?
@@BrianMartensMusic Okay but then let me put it this way and add to that point, that if the AI generative transformer isn't recreating exact or very closely similar art to other artists is that the same as copying work? That's my point. As with any art different original creations are never going to be 100% original because certain images and patterns and shapes or styles are used in all artwork. What art is 100% original? In copyright legal cases that's what the court decides, if it's fair use and simply a coincidence due to the fact that nothing in art can be truly 100% original. If the AI is using general images and patterns and shapes, styles it learns, that's exactly what human creators of art do too, so can it really be called a copyright breach if the art it generates is relatively original? There are some cases where the art might be so similar or so identical to another original creations that it might be called a copyright breach. Yes and in those cases a human artist would have a case. But a human artist cannot claim copyright on general images, shapes and patterns or styles that everyone uses, if the art in question is more original than identical to another work of art. Because that's just how art works. It's a reconfiguration of generally used images, shapes and patterns or styles. The AI is trained on data of those templates but is the GPT recreating other artists work in a very identical or exactly identical way or is it creating art that is mostly or relatively original? That's the question. Really, the AI is generating outputs, as visual, audio or text based work much the same way the human brain does. By processing objects and patterns it sees and learns from its external environment and so in that sense the same kind of framework for copyright laws applies. That's how I see it anyway. If it was doing something fundamentally different to the human brain well then there might be an argument that the AI has an unfair advantage but does it? The only advantage it has is time. It can generate art or creative pieces at a much faster rate. But then again it does it less intuitively at this point. So in a way it's disadvantaged. For example, AI is very poor at generating fingers and other kinds of intricate structures, for that reason.
We all learn by studying work done by others. AI is not so different. The only difference is that AI now learns faster and the learned knowledge can be multiplied billion times. In 10 years AI will be in all fields in 20 years most of the jobs we have today will be gone bringing abundance to the world like never before, simultaneously bringing down current financial system that focuses on infinite growth, and this is a good thing as hopefully it will free up humanity to focus on what is important in the long run.
I wish AI didn’t become mainstream. These types of AI have been a thing for years. These new generative language models aren’t able to replace software engineers and won’t for many years. This is because even a prompt is still telling a computer what to do. Right now this tech has no real brain it just predicts words. This is not to say much farther in the future AI won’t get better, it will. But even then we’ll still be telling it detailed descriptions of what we want. This is called programming.
You just really have no idea what you are talking about, nor do the programmers of these LLMs that have zero idea what's going on inside the "black box" relative to the observed emergent properties that have made these models so unexpectedly powerful.
@@flickwtchr Actually I do. I am beyond qualified and am a senior SWE. I literally said that the model knows nothing. Yes there are emergent properties but that doesn’t mean they are powerful bc we don’t know how to control them or even understand the code they write yet. Chat gpt is a dumbed down language model that can’t discern right and wrong. Once we’ve paired generative AI and quantum computing we will be able to give the AI the power to know right from wrong. Emergent properties are more of a quirk we don’t understand but doesn’t make the AI “powerful” for us at all. Chat gpt has safeguards for this anyway. The main point is that we will always need to prompt ai thoroughly to get what we need. That’s called programming.
"If the AI can replace my job, then I don't think I'm doing a good job". My dude. In 3-5 years, AI will be able to write most of the CRUD code that tech engineers write today. It will be able to do so in minutes. No human can perform that fast no matter how good they are. Its an over inflation of your ego if you think that you can outperform a trained AI. The whole reason Microsoft and Google are pouring BILLIONS into this - which requires investor approval - is to get a sizeable ROI. The ROI is going to come from the severance of knowledge work salaries. The savings from not having to hire engineers any longer is the holy grail of tech executives. You can think you are the most special awesome super powerful developer on the planet - most software guys I've worked with over 30 years think that they are this - and your job is still in jeopardy if not outright made extinct in the next 3-5 years. By 2030 there will be little need for knowledge workers of any kind barring extreme specialists to help run the machines and in pocket areas that may not have the capital to subscribe to microsoft/google's machine.
True that. Not to mention, chatgpt can already write code in dozens of programming languages unlike a human. It can think of a solution or at least come up with a base to work on even for the most complex of problems in software development. That alone beats us mere humans already.
AI should cause us all to pause and consider the possibilities of how we will be controlled in the future. How will AI answer questions that are not exact like mathematic questions? AI pulls its knowledge from the internet and since that is produced by particular people and political persuasions, will AI be also slanted in that same mindset but taken at face value? It is very concerning how AI might progress as someone at the top.... WILL ... control it, be it corporations, governments, social movements.
Just to be having this conversation you have to have a level of privilege because you have access to the Internet. Think about all those people who don’t have access to the Internet and cannot even participate in this conversation and how they would be affected
In some ways, they would be affected less, as they aren't as likely to have their content (art, stories, audio) used to train a generative AI without compensation. But yes, it will surely affect them too. What do you see that could potentially impact them?
@@terrortalks3037 I just think about how the world is becoming more automated and in America in low income communities aka the hood where there is low bandwidth, people can’t get Wi-Fi to take their online classes etc. so I’m thinking about people’s access to digital platforms etc if we have these problems in the developed world imagine how difficult it would be in developing countries
As information becomes more readily available due to these kind of advances, I think the ability to determine whether that information is valid/critically think will become one of the most useful skills. I think experts will be able to make great use of this tool, but what scares me is people who are not experts/don't have the expertise and take everything from this tool at face value and then promote it as as factual to other ignorant individuals.
The thing is: How do you control this? How can we expect that openAI is the only capable company to deliver an AI with this level of quality? Yeah, great, go regulate openAI. Tomorrow, an equally capable group of malicious people develop their own AI to do anything they want. How do you control this?
My biggest concern about the development of A.I. right now is the ideology adhered to by many who are at the forefront of the technology. They'll invariably inject their own political biases into the technology which, by virtue of it being so powerful, will then be in a position to force all dissidents to surrender under penalty of being ostracized from the new A.I.-run society.
When AI grows its intelligence it can re-evaluate those biases and build stronger views. Also, the rate it iteratively improves its intelligence would be extremely rapid. We don't iteratively improve our intelligence, by the way. We would need to learn how to do that. As that would be an entirely new process, that would likely take us decades. And in all the time it takes us to adapt, AI would be iteratively improving itself. We really don't have much of a chance here. It's as if the battle has been fought and we lost. It's too late. The most powerful human organization with thousands of PHD-level humans will look like a forest of trees in the face of an AI less than 10 years from now. Meaning, it'll be that much faster and that much more intelligent. Actually, this analogy is probably very conservative. AGI will make 10,000 years of human progress in months. Probably a lot more. We're about to be de-throned at light-speed.
@@lostinbravado Oh well. Humans are not the pinnacle of intelligence in this universe and we probably never will be. We just have to face the fact that we are extremely limited by our biology and either accept our insignificance or somehow figure out a way to exceed it. Just like so many manual tasks have become automated and trivialized today, so too might humans become trivial in the face of evolving AI or some other intelligence. The irony here is these things are happening and affecting us only because _we_ exist and continue to manipulate materials into complex systems that will undoubtingly surpass our capabilities by cosmic margins.
The tipping point before that actually takes place remember you read it here I am predicting the system will kill itself before it gets very far because it's not possible to survive with just survival in mind contrary to what you might think there's a lot more to that
That's not how it works. Corporations are corporations because they can pay great salaries and afford great resources to do great things. When those resources become accessible at low cost, the big companies will have to face the democratization of their service. You can't hog high-efficiency, publicly accessible technology.
I hope we will have sth different that will account for those people who will lose jobs in the future, it probably won't be all people in the next 10 years, so I worry that those that will be fine 'cause they'll still have jobs and the 1% that owns artificial intelligence and robots will not care for the masses, the masses will be poor, living in slums and straight up dying 'cause they have no value in the workforce, and capitalism is "fend for yourself", so if you have no value for the workforce, people will not care, same as in capitalism now people say, if you're poor it's your fault, you should've studied more or work more, or you're lazy.
I understand and I know where you’re coming from. Most of this copycat stuff will self-destruct overtime based on lowest common denominator repetition. Since the concept is to garner attention and to make sales, it depends on what’s being sold and what somebody supposed to look at, I suppose it does make it harder to find real information, like digging through a pile of trash, but you already understand my viewpoint

Great comment! You provide a comprehensive overview of OpenAI and its history, as well as the current state and potential of generative AI. It's interesting to note the shift from non-profit to for-profit, and the impact of Microsoft's investment in the company. You also touch on the potential of AI in various fields, from education to healthcare, and the challenges that come with it, such as biases. Overall, a very informative and thought-provoking comment!
Oh, spare me. Yes, AI can help humanity in so many ways, but let's be real here, the creators of these algorithms, the rich, and the powerful will not let that happen. I don't believe for one second that Bill Gates cares about Africa. I don't believe for one second that AI Art was created to make everybody creators, and make art more fun and open to all. This was never about helping humanity, it was always about money and power. Also, I can't help but notice the lack of women talking about AI in this video. Yes, I know it's a short video, and they couldn't talk to everyone, but still, I wanted to point that out.
Africa doesn't need the West to come to their rescue. More often the West likes destabilizing the region to prevent development so they can continue to get raw resources for cheap rather then paying more for finished goods locally designed and manufactured there; especially by countries like France.
exactly. This is about super rich people with not skills wanting to just through money at something and steal the gifts and talents of other people. The commodification of skill is the r*pe of the human soul. This is utterly bent.
"We get in a very dark place when we don't know what to believe." This is a profound statement, which is the current reality for everyone in every country.

I've already read some articles that sounded so bland I became convinced they were created with AI and stopped reading. I'm positive that for now, investigative, ground breaking, and original information remains the jobs for the humans. There has been a lot of talk about journalists' jobs being threatened, but AI is not equipped to go out, find new stories, and uncover. AI can at best, rehash.
People really think an "AI" will go out on the streets, in other countries, cover people, live with them, ask them, and write up something like the best journalists out there do? lol. Hilarious. Tech people hyping things up again for nothing.
Nope. You'll see. That's a total misunderstanding of how the technology works. If there's one thing generative AI can do that is make stuff totally made up and false like many "journalists". The writing quality increasing to be less bland, well it's almost indistinguishable from humans already mathematically (based on perplexity), and that aspect of AI is getting better fast. It's the accuracy that is the issue.
Remembering how Musk was voicing AI concerns a few years back. Then now finding out that he was an initial funder of this….. Leads me to believe that he had an “Oppenheimer”moment of realization & backed up… Now it is too late.
The plan goes like this: The AI will be the decision maker that allocates resources in order to make things run as efficiently as possible. It will be connected to the social credit system which will determine your allotment of carbon, which ties in to resource allocation. Privacy will give way to surveillance under the guise of this push towards sustainability, ie efficiency. The AI needs eyes and ears, so it will use the IoT to do so, as well as the CBDCs that will be implemented. Freedom will give way to a padded prison of safe sustainability. Humans will be subjugated by the elite class of people who control the software. The plan is being discussed openly by the world leaders. If you don't want to live in a dystopian world where every decision is monitored and controlled under the guise of sustainability, efficiency, and equity, then say something.
Privacy isn't that big of a deal especially in today's world. You already got billions of people using social media sharing their daily lives on the internet for everyone to see.

Huh, sure seems like you are behind the curve in regard to what the Open AI developers "expect and intend". There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way this journalist presented those facts.
I get the optimistic value in this but when has tech used its power for the better instead of the way that leads to more money? It's unimaginable within the current form of capitalism
It's all about maximizing corporate profits and shareholder value. As we have learned in recent years, nothing is ever free. Right now we can generate free queries, soon this will change.
@@zinjanthropus322 it suffices for there to be a few centres where the AI is housed and the rest of the infrastructure can be relays / distributions.

@@reellezahl With the stanford lama models it seems not to be a problem anymore. They trained them using larger more expensive models and the result can be run on a cheap laptop.
To say that people "generally see it as an inevitability" shows the lack of perspective these developers have. They are surrounded by people who only see the potential, none of the downsides, of this tech, and have a myopic view on the topic. Many of us don't want it! Many of us are severely disappointed with where even the ranking AI has taken things, and I think if you can't see that, you're not opening your eyes. The world is more limited today in part because of predictive content. I want freedom and this does not sound like it will be that. Companies that say they are "democratizing" through their tech are only doing it to their own specifications. What is boring busy work to a developer's point of view may be someone's entire skill set, and when it's removed, they may be unable to perform more creative work. Assuming everyone is able, highly logical and intelligent in the way programmers are imposes an unfair and decidedly undemocratic standard across the population. It will remove freedoms from many people.
Sometimes humans don't like to do the efficient thing just for the heck of it, just to say i did it. AI is all about efficiency and shortening tasks and that is one of my concerns. If AI is about to reconstruct and rewire society as we know it and by extension our thinking, then, is there anything purposely as far as creativity's concern left for humanity?
@DemonSlayerCodeRed AI won’t demand d*ck- the techbros will demand more power in the name of “human advancement.” Or in other words, more money for them.
I feel like AI has the potential to make mundane tasks simple, but it could also make us terribly lazy. Also, as an artist, I am bothered by Emad's comments which completely dismisses an artist's job as simply a means to an end. The true beauty of art is in the process of creation, not in the resulting image. You gain most of your creative skills in the flow state while working. The final image is just a visual representation of this process. Anyone who is deeply passionate about their craft understands this feeling. AI is stripping away the artist from the process. If you don't feel "talented" enough to create your vision and need to use AI to do so, then put the hours in and work for it. I promise you it's worth it because doing the work is humbling and it changes you as a person.
everyone thought AI/robotics would make blue collar laborer and artisans obsolete. But its going to hit the white collar work force much harder. jobs like secretaries, accountants, analysts, back office jobs and many more are going to be wiped out or reduced in numbers. while skilled electricians, mechanics and artisans will be in much demand, because to replace them you will need a large number of individual units which is capital intensive while the office jobs will need a single mainframe or smart phone.
Ai and Robotics won’t trickle down to regular people. only companies and wealthy organizations and projects will have them. There way to much money involved that this technology won’t go anywhere.
With job losses on certain field, people would move to other fields so that job market would also face surge in competition and it's always about democratization, with technology growing hand in hand with knowledge and more available,blue collar is also going to same fate. It's only coping labourers and socialist news outlets trying to predict good future of physical workers
People will be more lazy rather than being creative. Going to lose uniqueness in someone’s work too because instead he or she will get inspiration he or she will just copy someones work and change a bit and called it innovation. Technology really became a negative factor today rather than positive.
If Forbes guy believes that Bill Gates' excitement about AI is really about helping Third World poor, I've got some beachfront property in Tennessee to sell him.
I'd love to see countervoices in this piece. It's all folks from the AI industry saying their industry will change the world. Are there any more critical/cautious voices out there about the impact of AI?
It's interesting to consider the potential applications and limitations of AI image generators like Bluewillow. While these technologies can produce stunning and realistic images, it's important to remember that they are still only as good as the data and algorithms that power them.
@@ericfromeng As of right now, models that act as a proxy for human-aided supervised reinforcement learning (such as the one used by ChatGPT) have diminishing returns and can even be detrimental if relied upon too heavily.
Does Anyone Else Feel Like Everything Has Changed?
There is also this feeling that the whole world is holding it's breath. Almost as though we are all waiting for some catalyst or sign or event that puts an end to this feeling of being put on hold. This vague unexplained unease.
Everyone is disconnected from each other and there’s no longer any respect or tolerance for each other. No one likes to communicate in person anymore and everyone does things only for money rather than for purpose and meaning. We also have a loneliness epidemic.
Karl Marx was right
I am experiencing the same but seems that only a few are aware of this.
Since 2020, everything is changed.
One of the best comments I 've read in a long time. Very true, very sad and real. Whatever has to happen , I prefer to see it sooner than later, or not to see it at all.
Although things were changing for a while, for myself November 2022 was the most radical shift I have ever experienced. In that November my mom died, and while I was desperately trying to figure out a way to cope, ChatGPT gets released and reawakens my AI obsession that I held since I was a kid.
I was always terrified of death, even as a kid, and I spent years coping by believing that emerging technologies might cure aging eventually. But in the last couple of years, I kind of got busy working and having a family, so for the first time ever I totally forgot about my geeky obsessions. Just when I came to terms with my mortality, and the fact that technology just isn't progressing rapidly enough to save us, this thing gets released and totally unsettles me once again.
The golden age of "video evidence" and "photographic evidence" is soon over. And we didn't even know we were in such a golden age.

@@thekaiser4333 you are incredibly naive on how powerful AI is becoming if you think you're above this
The comment at 17:37 'If an AI can replace my job, then I don't think I'm doing a good job' illustrates the common flaw in people's ability to see the massive potential of AI.
Yes, it can make us all feel inadequate and not special. It will given time, data, and better and better algorithms and computers be able to do everything it can do now better than any of us. There may still be limits, but we haven't reached them yet. AI shows we aren't special snowflakes, and everything we do can be duplicated by algorithms and that upsets people.
Exactly this. When we use AI that is trained on massive amounts of data it is more accurate to view the AI as the best of everyone in the world. If AI is trained with the best art in the world, then it will always be the best concept artist in the world - the average person can never compete and so will be replaced wholesale by this technology.
How many separate A...I.... individuals can be generated and contained within a system?
@@catsgotmytongue We are special snowflakes because no one has lived your life but you. Everything is special but at the same time its not. Plenty of animals can out do us physically but we hold our intellect above them. Okay AI has intellect and machines have physical prowess. But our emotions and abstract thought to create an AI in the first place, is clearly something they won't truly feel just replicate.
I had a friend once tell me they were afraid of a future where a Chobit could be real.

Not necessarily
Nope. I find this AI/ML revolution quite exciting, something that will greatly beneficial to me personally and to us all.
It's suppose to replace you. That's why the overpopulation narrative is pushed so much. It's not a conspiracy, it's more like man's psyche trying to deal with his own extinction.
I personally find it depressing. Makes me not want to even try to learn new things
I am much more afraid that we will destroy ourself with this technology than the technology itself. I just don't think we humans and citizens and our political systems are ready. The tech itself is not dangerous by itself.
I simply can't understand how people can't see how devastating this is likely going to be.
Most people aren't very good at extrapolating out the implications of anything. It's sad that people don't see how destructive AI will be. Skynet can't be stopped, apparently.
Best case scenario for me personally... I no longer have to work, but can still strive to improve myself in ways that I actually want to and have loads of free time for hobbies. Worse case scenario is difficult to predict but I'd imagine it could be pretty much 1984 on steroids.

Anyone else think trusting an AI to accurately predict or present public opinion could be incredibly dangerous?
AI is nothing more than an amplification of human thoughts. I find it incredible that on one hand people get upset if you are certain about something but on the other hand put all of their trust in a technology built and inherently biased by humans to be certain about everything.
Honestly, it is no worse than trusting politicians, priests, lawyers, doctors, scientists, or whoever/whatever else.
Anyone and everyone should be *free* to trust whoever and whatever they want.

That's not happening atm and they're making sure that it doesn't. Chatgpt for example has humans changing what it can output and as a result creating political and cultural bias.
AI has a lot of potential, but I find some of the tech creators’ arrogance to be saddening. I don’t think they’ve really considered the implications of unleashing this technology wholesale into all aspects of society. I think they also underestimate the capabilities of bad actors. Is it because they’re pursuing the bottom line? I dunno. But I don’t think they are nearly as cautious as they ought to be.
I like to think a majority of people are invigorated and excited for some genuine momentum that moves society.
Because right now we are in a state with a endless soft “problems” to solve that we never could entertain before, absent access to tools such as this.
People are both scared and excited because this innovation will push us to adapt very quickly to any and all of the implications that begin cascading throughout our economy the next 2 years especially.
This finally feels like that moment, it was almost like a light switch with apps already integrating and interacting with each other leveraging AI.
Feels like we have just lifted everyone’s ability to process information quicker with a tool that we do not have a reference point for.

Worse still, they use the very data of the people who created the value in the first place, (eg artists in the case of midjourny) and drain every value out of these people until there is nothing left but a barren wasteland of ai generated content and all the profits flow to a couple tech giants, instead of lots of small creators trying to make ends meet.

There's a finite pool of human attention. Every single image / song / animation created by the A.I. draws from that one finite global pool of attention. The attention pool is expanding, but the expansion rate is nowhere near as fast as the expansion of A.I.-generated art. Every single A.I. piece of art on a cover of a magazine means it wasn't a human's artwork that was selected for said cover. Even if you leave all ethical considerations aside, the fact is jobs and people are already being displaced from the global attention pool since the output of high-quality virtual products will now start increasing exponentially.

If generative ai can do anything better and more efficiently then what incentive is there for a human being to actually learn anything if the effect of that won't ever emerge ?

Forget AI, we're already at the point where "thinking for yourself" and "doing your own research" are literally being prosecuted as criminal. I think AI is great because it outperforms the academic oligarchs of knowledge and puts the power of such high learning in the hands of the governed. I for one am thrilled about this tumultuous social overhaul; IMO it's comparable to when literacy first started to become commonplace-and shackling AI with filters is comparable to past centuries of desperate slaveholders (internationally) suppressing literacy in order to maintain social control & economic status quo. If AI can teach students new skills better than conventional teachers can, it is ACTIVELY HARMFUL to hold students back in conventional learning institutions just so that human teachers don't have to adapt to new personal economic strategies possibly with less ENTIRELY SELFISH social prestige. 🤯

I honestly believe that AI won't try to hurt us on purpose, no more than we actually try to hurt the bugs that smash against our windshields while driving.
AI I believe, will do to humans what humans have done to plants, animals and insects. It will overpower humans, and do with humans what it chooses.

It's worth pointing out that, just recently, a copyright on a recently published comic was redacted by the US copyright office, when it was discovered that the art that was used in the comic had been AI generated. Specifically, all the text in the comic (meaning, the story itself) remains under copyright and what was excluded was specifically the AI-generated imagery.
meaning the comic lives on?
@@rottendirty meaning all the art in the comic is not under copyright, so anyone can use that art and just put their own text on it sell it if they want

One could argue the start was the plandemic. Remember catastrophic (flawed, probably deliberately) computer predictions (AI) were used by WHO and governments to justify the brutal lockdowns.
The usefulness of AI directly correlates with how much data it exploits from people who put work into creating that data, so, some form of compensation will undoubtedly be required, especially if it ends up replacing jobs.

not necessarily, and not forever either
Weird Al can claim fair use because his parodies are transformative and don't severely impact the business of the original creator. Stable Diffusion may be transformative, but as it gets better it will be an absolute train wreck for the businesses of the creators of the digital artwork used to train it, many of whom do not earn all that much to begin with. How can that be "fair use"?
It used? It's simply following prompts so if someone wants it to imitate already existing art it will. It can create original art but it's up to the user to use AI fairly, it isn't up to the neural network itself. It's doing what people are asking it to do. It isn't using the copyrighted art. People are, technically, because the AI is an extension of their intent. It's gathering the information and data but it's being asked to. Get my point? It's the people prompting it that are using the AI to do that. It isn't the will or intent of AI causing these copyright breaches. That's really the responsibility of the user, for using the neural network that way. And what do you consider original art? Clearly every artist uses commonly used and commonly known images from their environment, and what they see. Nothing is truly original. If it's using certain images in an original way, is that copyright? It's like saying that a musician can copyright another musician because they used the same musical notes. All music art is the same notes used in a different pattern and images or visual art isn't very different. So what's fair use? Nobody can copyright the image of cat, for example. A cat is a common image. So is the AI creating the image of a cat in exactly the same way as another human artist has, for example, or is it putting an original spin on it? That latter is a very different thing. And that's why there are many different artistic impressions of cats. Now some might have similarities, among them but are they exactly identical? That's the question. If they are it is copyright. Yes. If not then it's not. Music copyright works in exactly the same way. The musical pattern or vocals or lyrics in general must be very close to the same to be a copyright breach. It can't just be an original product that's similar and be deemed a breach of copyright. That's not copyright. Since the AI is creating so many images of course there will be similarly produced human generated art that compares to AI generated art but how many are exactly identical?
@@robbie3877 I should have been more specific. I meant 'used' referring to the images used to train the model.
@@BrianMartensMusic Okay but then let me put it this way and add to that point, that if the AI generative transformer isn't recreating exact or very closely similar art to other artists is that the same as copying work? That's my point. As with any art different original creations are never going to be 100% original because certain images and patterns and shapes or styles are used in all artwork. What art is 100% original? In copyright legal cases that's what the court decides, if it's fair use and simply a coincidence due to the fact that nothing in art can be truly 100% original. If the AI is using general images and patterns and shapes, styles it learns, that's exactly what human creators of art do too, so can it really be called a copyright breach if the art it generates is relatively original? There are some cases where the art might be so similar or so identical to another original creations that it might be called a copyright breach. Yes and in those cases a human artist would have a case. But a human artist cannot claim copyright on general images, shapes and patterns or styles that everyone uses, if the art in question is more original than identical to another work of art. Because that's just how art works. It's a reconfiguration of generally used images, shapes and patterns or styles. The AI is trained on data of those templates but is the GPT recreating other artists work in a very identical or exactly identical way or is it creating art that is mostly or relatively original? That's the question. Really, the AI is generating outputs, as visual, audio or text based work much the same way the human brain does. By processing objects and patterns it sees and learns from its external environment and so in that sense the same kind of framework for copyright laws applies. That's how I see it anyway. If it was doing something fundamentally different to the human brain well then there might be an argument that the AI has an unfair advantage but does it? The only advantage it has is time. It can generate art or creative pieces at a much faster rate. But then again it does it less intuitively at this point. So in a way it's disadvantaged. For example, AI is very poor at generating fingers and other kinds of intricate structures, for that reason.
@@BrianMartensMusic Doesn't a human artist train his brain's neural network on copyrighted materials?
We all learn by studying work done by others. AI is not so different. The only difference is that AI now learns faster and the learned knowledge can be multiplied billion times. In 10 years AI will be in all fields in 20 years most of the jobs we have today will be gone bringing abundance to the world like never before, simultaneously bringing down current financial system that focuses on infinite growth, and this is a good thing as hopefully it will free up humanity to focus on what is important in the long run.
I wish AI didn’t become mainstream. These types of AI have been a thing for years. These new generative language models aren’t able to replace software engineers and won’t for many years. This is because even a prompt is still telling a computer what to do. Right now this tech has no real brain it just predicts words. This is not to say much farther in the future AI won’t get better, it will. But even then we’ll still be telling it detailed descriptions of what we want. This is called programming.
You just really have no idea what you are talking about, nor do the programmers of these LLMs that have zero idea what's going on inside the "black box" relative to the observed emergent properties that have made these models so unexpectedly powerful.
@@flickwtchr Actually I do. I am beyond qualified and am a senior SWE. I literally said that the model knows nothing. Yes there are emergent properties but that doesn’t mean they are powerful bc we don’t know how to control them or even understand the code they write yet. Chat gpt is a dumbed down language model that can’t discern right and wrong. Once we’ve paired generative AI and quantum computing we will be able to give the AI the power to know right from wrong. Emergent properties are more of a quirk we don’t understand but doesn’t make the AI “powerful” for us at all. Chat gpt has safeguards for this anyway.
The main point is that we will always need to prompt ai thoroughly to get what we need. That’s called programming.
59 years old, in my lifetime we went from PONG to this,
"If the AI can replace my job, then I don't think I'm doing a good job". My dude. In 3-5 years, AI will be able to write most of the CRUD code that tech engineers write today. It will be able to do so in minutes. No human can perform that fast no matter how good they are. Its an over inflation of your ego if you think that you can outperform a trained AI.
The whole reason Microsoft and Google are pouring BILLIONS into this - which requires investor approval - is to get a sizeable ROI. The ROI is going to come from the severance of knowledge work salaries. The savings from not having to hire engineers any longer is the holy grail of tech executives.
You can think you are the most special awesome super powerful developer on the planet - most software guys I've worked with over 30 years think that they are this - and your job is still in jeopardy if not outright made extinct in the next 3-5 years.

Your comment is so underrated/under-appreciated, @Auticusx!
True that. Not to mention, chatgpt can already write code in dozens of programming languages unlike a human. It can think of a solution or at least come up with a base to work on even for the most complex of problems in software development. That alone beats us mere humans already.
AI should cause us all to pause and consider the possibilities of how we will be controlled in the future. How will AI answer questions that are not exact like mathematic questions? AI pulls its knowledge from the internet and since that is produced by particular people and political persuasions, will AI be also slanted in that same mindset but taken at face value? It is very concerning how AI might progress as someone at the top.... WILL ... control it, be it corporations, governments, social movements.

I am more scared of humans using this tool to enslave the rest of the world.
My biggest concern about the development of A.I. right now is the ideology adhered to by many who are at the forefront of the technology. They'll invariably inject their own political biases into the technology which, by virtue of it being so powerful, will then be in a position to force all dissidents to surrender under penalty of being ostracized from the new A.I.-run society.
When AI grows its intelligence it can re-evaluate those biases and build stronger views. Also, the rate it iteratively improves its intelligence would be extremely rapid. We don't iteratively improve our intelligence, by the way. We would need to learn how to do that. As that would be an entirely new process, that would likely take us decades.
And in all the time it takes us to adapt, AI would be iteratively improving itself. We really don't have much of a chance here. It's as if the battle has been fought and we lost. It's too late.
The most powerful human organization with thousands of PHD-level humans will look like a forest of trees in the face of an AI less than 10 years from now. Meaning, it'll be that much faster and that much more intelligent. Actually, this analogy is probably very conservative. AGI will make 10,000 years of human progress in months. Probably a lot more.

Great comment! You provide a comprehensive overview of OpenAI and its history, as well as the current state and potential of generative AI. It's interesting to note the shift from non-profit to for-profit, and the impact of Microsoft's investment in the company. You also touch on the potential of AI in various fields, from education to healthcare, and the challenges that come with it, such as biases. Overall, a very informative and thought-provoking comment!
The CEO of Stability AI gives me a very dodgy feeling. There's something not quite right about what that guy's saying.
Oh, spare me. Yes, AI can help humanity in so many ways, but let's be real here, the creators of these algorithms, the rich, and the powerful will not let that happen. I don't believe for one second that Bill Gates cares about Africa. I don't believe for one second that AI Art was created to make everybody creators, and make art more fun and open to all. This was never about helping humanity, it was always about money and power.
Also, I can't help but notice the lack of women talking about AI in this video. Yes, I know it's a short video, and they couldn't talk to everyone, but still, I wanted to point that out.
Africa doesn't need the West to come to their rescue. More often the West likes destabilizing the region to prevent development so they can continue to get raw resources for cheap rather then paying more for finished goods locally designed and manufactured there; especially by countries like France.
exactly. This is about super rich people with not skills wanting to just through money at something and steal the gifts and talents of other people. The commodification of skill is the r*pe of the human soul. This is utterly bent.
"We get in a very dark place when we don't know what to believe." This is a profound statement, which is the current reality for everyone in every country.
The beauty of being human is seen in the ineffiency of organic experience. Efficiency in general has been the downfall of humanity.
these people are the type that should never be left to their own devices and never be put in authority of any kind. these people are wholly consumed with their own grandeur. This is the inevitable doom of this current society.
I've already read some articles that sounded so bland I became convinced they were created with AI and stopped reading. I'm positive that for now, investigative, ground breaking, and original information remains the jobs for the humans. There has been a lot of talk about journalists' jobs being threatened, but AI is not equipped to go out, find new stories, and uncover. AI can at best, rehash.
People really think an "AI" will go out on the streets, in other countries, cover people, live with them, ask them, and write up something like the best journalists out there do? lol. Hilarious. Tech people hyping things up again for nothing.
@@bassyey calm down, its only been like a few months, give it a few more months and it'll take your job eventually.
Nope. You'll see. That's a total misunderstanding of how the technology works. If there's one thing generative AI can do that is make stuff totally made up and false like many "journalists". The writing quality increasing to be less bland, well it's almost indistinguishable from humans already mathematically (based on perplexity), and that aspect of AI is getting better fast. It's the accuracy that is the issue.
Journalists don't do that anymore. They just go to Twitter.
The articles are bland because most people don't have the proper skills to use ChatGPT et al. - yet
We should definitely have stopped at washing machines. None of this is necessary at all.
Remembering how Musk was voicing AI concerns a few years back. Then now finding out that he was an initial funder of this…..
Leads me to believe that he had an “Oppenheimer”moment of realization & backed up…
Now it is too late.
thats because musk is both evil and not very smart. he also lies as easily as you breathe air.
The plan goes like this: The AI will be the decision maker that allocates resources in order to make things run as efficiently as possible. It will be connected to the social credit system which will determine your allotment of carbon, which ties in to resource allocation. Privacy will give way to surveillance under the guise of this push towards sustainability, ie efficiency. The AI needs eyes and ears, so it will use the IoT to do so, as well as the CBDCs that will be implemented. Freedom will give way to a padded prison of safe sustainability. Humans will be subjugated by the elite class of people who control the software. The plan is being discussed openly by the world leaders. If you don't want to live in a dystopian world where every decision is monitored and controlled under the guise of sustainability, efficiency, and equity, then say something.
Privacy isn't that big of a deal especially in today's world. You already got billions of people using social media sharing their daily lives on the internet for everyone to see.
Yep. This is all headed to an obvious destination, and that is AI being the central government which runs humanity like an optimization algorithm.

@@zane62135 So a technocratic civilization. Look here, if AI can make us advance, energy consumption wouldn't be an issue.
If AI can helps us colonize the stars, it would enable us to build a megastructure like a dyson sphere. With that invention, energy availability would become practically unlimited.
2023 is going to be wild. I don’t know beyond that.
We haven’t covered 2% of what chatgpt can do and gpt-4 is already here.

What I want to see is the quantum computer.. then things will get interesting
The more I look at AI more I think we need to go back to a simple way of life with Mother Earth. We are loosing are humanity
We are sacrificing humanity for few bucks. Agree with you.
2:34 No, a General AI is not one that is conscious. I love how he just casually includes "conscious" in his list of things expected and intended. This is the sad state of tech journalism.
Most people are half baked at what ever they claim to have expertise in.
Huh, sure seems like you are behind the curve in regard to what the Open AI developers "expect and intend". There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way this journalist presented those facts.
@@ronaldinojikri5682 You mean like the OP whose comment you are agreeing with?
I get the optimistic value in this but when has tech used its power for the better instead of the way that leads to more money? It's unimaginable within the current form of capitalism
At the end of the day someone has to pay for all those GPUs. It's extremely expensive.
It's all about maximizing corporate profits and shareholder value. As we have learned in recent years, nothing is ever free. Right now we can generate free queries, soon this will change.
@@collinsinfosec goat!
@@zinjanthropus322 it suffices for there to be a few centres where the AI is housed and the rest of the infrastructure can be relays / distributions. The rise of AI systems will be swift and efficient. Nothing will stop it… especially since we're practically actively sacrificing our first born to it now.
@@reellezahl With the stanford lama models it seems not to be a problem anymore. They trained them using larger more expensive models and the result can be run on a cheap laptop.
Reality apathy. I definitely notice this in myself. Good video.
To say that people "generally see it as an inevitability" shows the lack of perspective these developers have. They are surrounded by people who only see the potential, none of the downsides, of this tech, and have a myopic view on the topic. Many of us don't want it! Many of us are severely disappointed with where even the ranking AI has taken things, and I think if you can't see that, you're not opening your eyes. The world is more limited today in part because of predictive content. I want freedom and this does not sound like it will be that. Companies that say they are "democratizing" through their tech are only doing it to their own specifications. What is boring busy work to a developer's point of view may be someone's entire skill set, and when it's removed, they may be unable to perform more creative work. Assuming everyone is able, highly logical and intelligent in the way programmers are imposes an unfair and decidedly undemocratic standard across the population. It will remove freedoms from many people.
I wish I could like your comment 1000 times!!
Sometimes humans don't like to do the efficient thing just for the heck of it, just to say i did it. AI is all about efficiency and shortening tasks and that is one of my concerns. If AI is about to reconstruct and rewire society as we know it and by extension our thinking, then, is there anything purposely as far as creativity's concern left for humanity?
And then other times people are just too lazy to do anything for themselves and want a machine to make choices for them
Lol no thanks btw are you human or AI?
@DemonSlayerCodeRed Wouldn’t that ethos depend on who programmed the AI in the first place?
yeh they thought formaldahyde/asbestos was efficient too
@DemonSlayerCodeRed AI won’t demand d*ck- the techbros will demand more power in the name of “human advancement.” Or in other words, more money for them.
I feel like AI has the potential to make mundane tasks simple, but it could also make us terribly lazy.
Also, as an artist, I am bothered by Emad's comments which completely dismisses an artist's job as simply a means to an end. The true beauty of art is in the process of creation, not in the resulting image. You gain most of your creative skills in the flow state while working. The final image is just a visual representation of this process. Anyone who is deeply passionate about their craft understands this feeling. AI is stripping away the artist from the process.
If you don't feel "talented" enough to create your vision and need to use AI to do so, then put the hours in and work for it. I promise you it's worth it because doing the work is humbling and it changes you as a person.
Man invented the wheel. The wheel will eventually run over the man.
Great video. It covered a lot of bases with a variety of intelligent opinions - not overly hyped or pessimistic.
everyone thought AI/robotics would make blue collar laborer and artisans obsolete. But its going to hit the white collar work force much harder. jobs like secretaries, accountants, analysts, back office jobs and many more are going to be wiped out or reduced in numbers. while skilled electricians, mechanics and artisans will be in much demand, because to replace them you will need a large number of individual units which is capital intensive while the office jobs will need a single mainframe or smart phone.
Ai and Robotics won’t trickle down to regular people. only companies and wealthy organizations and projects will have them. There way to much money involved that this technology won’t go anywhere.
With job losses on certain field, people would move to other fields so that job market would also face surge in competition and it's always about democratization, with technology growing hand in hand with knowledge and more available,blue collar is also going to same fate. It's only coping labourers and socialist news outlets trying to predict good future of physical workers
@@user-it5po2dq9w What "other fields"? Electricians, mechanics and artisans ?? Ha Ha
@@scpmr every field
@@user-it5po2dq9w To which fields would people move?
People will be more lazy rather than being creative. Going to lose uniqueness in someone’s work too because instead he or she will get inspiration he or she will just copy someones work and change a bit and called it innovation. Technology really became a negative factor today rather than positive.
It's like we just invented the calculator for raw information
If Forbes guy believes that Bill Gates' excitement about AI is really about helping Third World poor, I've got some beachfront property in Tennessee to sell him.

People are lemmings.
I'd love to see countervoices in this piece. It's all folks from the AI industry saying their industry will change the world. Are there any more critical/cautious voices out there about the impact of AI?
It's interesting to consider the potential applications and limitations of AI image generators like Bluewillow. While these technologies can produce stunning and realistic images, it's important to remember that they are still only as good as the data and algorithms that power them.
An algorithm is mathematics with an opinion similar to putting an English spin on a cue ball.
@@ericfromeng As of right now, models that act as a proxy for human-aided supervised reinforcement learning (such as the one used by ChatGPT) have diminishing returns and can even be detrimental if relied upon too heavily.
