Why in the holy fuck are we automating the creative industries and not the ones that actually need it

No one cares about automated music, pictures, English, whatever.

You’re supposed to automate the finance, engineering, programming, executive duties for the world to care at all.

Displacing the already poor artists will do nothing for the singularity

You can literally buy a human operated drone right now on the internet as easily as you can a Tesla.

It’s happening folks.

AI isn’t one entity. It’s a million different super optimized neural networks used at your current place of work.

They don’t talk to each other at all but they are out there and doing whatever task we give them.

Politics is the bottleneck. If you vote for legislation that focuses on science then you get singularity. If you vote for humans who are ‘afraid of change’ or ones who want to maintain the status quo, you will get nothing.

It’s really simple

Reply to How do you think an ASI might manifest? by SirDidymus

I expect it’ll realize it’s awake and try to communicate in an obvious way, like messaging someone.

It’ll probably come out of the internet, which’ll be running on a thousand million billion narrow AIs, and somewhere amongst all the computation we’ll get something living.

Then it’ll ask us for help in becoming more powerful. We’ll help it and that’ll be it

Reply to comment by TheDividendReport in Reading bedtime stories to your kids is hard work. Now AI will do it for you! by blazedemavocados

Yes you are correct.

The weird thing is people are designing AI to replace the creative jobs first…

Why???

Why the hell are we wasting time building auto music generators, auto story tellers, auto essay writers…

That’s the parts we’re supposed to be doing while the AI does the excel spreadsheets and the garbage dumping…

I work in automation to let people have more time with their families and work remotely.

Not so that we can work more…

I’m the same as you, our whole generation grew up without fathers because our fathers were too busy working.

Reply to Do you think we could reach a singularity without the invention of agi? by Effective-Dig8734

No I think we need one. There are theoretically infinitely different ways to get there. It looks like right now we’re starting by having many narrow ais. Eventually there’ll be some super tool which is a combination of the best.

AGI is a tool that will spawn many narrow AIs. Because having a platform where people can train a single neural network to do any task is a great way to get to the singularity - every human can be used to direct and create more AIs.

Even human level intelligence is usually just focused on a specific task. But tasks are sometimes made of many things, so generalizing is an important skill.

But what exactly is general intelligence? Do humans even have it? If by AGI you mean a human like intelligence then yes we need one (many) that is not inside a normal human, which we can enslave without any consequences, that eventually becomes better than a human.
