I agree, AI is just a tool like any other. People freaked out the same way when electricity was supplied to cities for the first time, or when computers started becoming popular.
I honestly expected better from a more tech oriented social media platform.
Huh? What does having some jobs replaced have to do with humanity being replaced?
Jobs can disappear overnight due to technology updates, and it’s always highly disruptive when that happens. If large sectors suddenly have to find new jobs, then that creates highly stressful environments and people suffer during that transition.
The reason AI is scary is because it seems to be something that could result in many job losses very quickly without opening any new accessible jobs as working with AI tools isn’t super accessible.
i just hope regular people can use decent quality ai freely in future. its great equalizer since as long as someone in the world has been able to do something you can kind of do it too with ai.
What are you talking about? I used gpt4 to help with my custom guitar build, and it was insanely useful. We talked for hours and the AI came up with a custom schematic and wiring diagram for a ts808 boost built into the guitar.
People sleeping on AI or not knowing how it works just baffles me.
It was even analyzing audio clips of the guitar to make suggestions on the design, and showed me the cheapest places to get all the components, chips etc.
Not to mention it can analyze pictures and video, which I also used during my build. I would rather have gpt4 than a human helper.
It’s already happening that average people can use systems that are crippled and constrained, and government agencies or corporations are able to access models that don’t tell you “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”

Did the calculator replace mathematicians?
No, but computers did replace computers.
I appreciate how weird this comment is if you don’t know what computers used to refer to…
It’s also a good example of how you very much can have technology replace jobs.
I’m hoping I expanded a few people’s vernacular, or at least vocabulary.
So why are there still jobs for everyone if electricity will replace us all, computers will replace us all, assembly lines will replace us all.
We have had this same fucking conversation for a hundred years.

Like when cars came out, lots of stables out of business.

I know, i’m just worried they might be forced to cripple it or shut it down. I use it too.

well, fuck
