Reply to comment by googleflont in I asked GPT-4 to compile a timeline on when which human tasks (not jobs) have been/will be replaced by AI or robots, plus one sentence reasoning each - it runs from 1959 to 2033. In a second post it lists which tasks it assumes will NOT be replaced by 2050, and why. (Remember it's cut-off 2021.) by marcandreewolf

I think of it as a point in time where technology advances by itself

It is difficult to predict what will happen after that

Wow. Elegant explanation. Just not as scary. So, u/Damianucl …

The Singularity refers in this case to a theoretical idea that Artificial Intelligence could achieve exponential growth and possibly consciousness, or at least act to preserve its own safety and best interest, which could easily not be the same as what’s best for humanity. Ya know. Skynet.

I just want to know when that happens so I can stay home, or at least dress right that day.
