For once, most Americans are right.
I dont believe AI will ever be more than essentially a parlar trick that fools you into thinking it's intelligent when it's really just a more advanced tool like excel compared to pen and paper or an abacus.
The real threat will be people who fool themselves into thinking it's more than that and that it's word is law, like a diety. Or worse, the people that do understand that but like various religious and political leaders that used religion to manipulate people, the new AI Pope's will try and do the same manipulation but with AI.

It should. We should have radically different lives today because of technology. But greed keeps us in the shit.
New cascadeur update just killed inbetweenjng jobs if its as good as the trailer, but uh I think this is a case where ai good, like yeah jobs lost but the time saved is wild for indie animators
So far AI has only aggravated me by interrupting my own online activities.
When Miyazaki said the AI ghiblifier is an affront to art, I couldn’t help but think that before WW1, tanks were called an affront to horsemanship.

All it took was for us to destroy our economy using it to figure that out!

Try this voice AI demo on your phone, then imagine if it can create images and video.
This in my opinion changes every system of information gathering that we have, and will usher in an era of geniuses, who grew up with access to the answer to their every question in a granular pictorial video response. If you want to for example learn how white blood cells work it gives you ask your chatbot for a video, and you can then tell it to put in different types of bacteria to see the response. Its going to make a lot of systems we have now obsolete.
This is another level, thanks for sharing!
Holy shit, that AI chat is too good.

Maybe that's because every time a new AI feature rolls out, the product it's improving gets substantially worse.
Maybe that's because they're using AI to replace people, and the AI does a worse job.
Meanwhile, the people are also out of work.
Lose - Lose.
Even if you're not "out of work", your work becomes more chaotic and less fulfilling in the name of productivity.
When I started 20 years ago, you could round out a long day with a few hours of mindless data entry or whatever. Not anymore.
A few years ago I could talk to people or maybe even write a nice email communicating a complex topic. Now chatGPT writes the email and I check it.
It's just shit honestly. I'd rather weave baskets and die at 40 years old of a tooth infection than spend an additional 30 years wallowing in self loathing and despair.
30 years ago I did a few months of 70 hour work weeks, 40 doing data entry in the day, then another 30 stocking grocery shelves in the evening - very different kinds of work and each was kind of a "vacation" from the other. Still got old quick, but it paid off the previous couple of months' travel / touring with no income.
It didn't even need to take someone's job. A summary of an article or paper with hallucinated information isn't replacing anyone, but it's definitely making search results worse.

The first thing seen at the top of WhatsApp now is an AI query bar. Who the fuck needs anything related to AI on WhatsApp?
Android Messages and Facebook Messenger also pushed in AI as 'something you can chat with'
I'm not here to talk to your fucking chatbot I'm here to talk to my friends and family.

If it was marketed and used for what it's actually good at this wouldn't be an issue. We shouldn't be using it to replace artists, writers, musicians, teachers, programmers, and actors. It should be used as a tool to make those people's jobs easier and achieve better results. I understand its uses and that it's not a useless technology. The problem is that capitalism and greedy CEOs are ruining the technology by trying to replace everyone but themselves so they can maximize profits.
