Hey everyone. I am actually (or at least was) a huge fan of AI along with every possible advancement in technology.
Until sometime last night, when after a few hours of playing around with chat-GPT for the first time.
In the beginning it was actually pretty funny, kinda like a very precise chatbot. I had used a few in the past and this one just worked! No random "I'm sorry, I don't think i get the question" crap. And some other impressive functionalities in the responses.
So, it was all fun and games until today's morning. I wake up, make myself some coffee and decide to experiment with it for some cheap giggles. It does that for me and i suddenly think what is i where to ask something a bit more serious and complex?
I give it a personal problem i have and i ask for some advice. The AI answers straight away and it was actually some solid advice. I thought that even if in the past it scraped the web and found this as the answer to someone else with the exact same problem, it's still impressive.
I smirk and decide to test it's limits. Message after message i opened up to it about something complex in my head that involved understanding the HUMAN experience in order to understand as a problem. Fucker did not skip a bit. Again and again it gave me therapist-level advice on a unique and complex human issue!
So, besides taking away a huge number of non physical jobs, it can actually mimic humans to a frightened level right now. It's January 2023 and if anything they had to nerf it instead of upgrading it right now.
I'm 31, at an office job and thinking of getting a job as entry level in IT. And then i think *why?" It will take it away from you soon."
Everyone i message online might be an AI or be using one and honestly i think the world just changed forever. How are people not talking about it non stop? My wife works on a call center and she was yawning when i was trying to explain it to her!
Where do we go as a species/society after this kind of AI starts being widely used?
That's about it people, I'm just scared and i have nowhere else to say it. The irony is that if i went to the AI, it would help me be more comprehensive with my thoughts right now but i didn't want the irony on me.
