Oh, I agree that people (including the developers pretending that AI is on intelligent) are hyping it up as more than what it is - but let's not act like it's not a disruptive technology. LLMs are only the beginning. Once more of these get leaked out into the open the development will be exponential. I expect them to fully mimic human intelligence within the next 10 years. It's mostly a good thing as long as that development is not kept in the hands of the elites. I feel like the fear mongering over AI and Climate Change are on entirely different levels. The former is a lot of hype and FUD and people admittedly don't know how it works or what will happen. The latter is a church and everyone KNOWS the world will end in 10 years if we don't cut CO2 emissions NOW.
Understand what I mean by "mimic". They can't really mimic human intelligence now, and yet there are still idiotic Google engineers saying "omg I think this chatbot might be sentient!" In 10-20 years you're going to be an old man yelling at clouds while both the Left and Right will be getting their "facts" from AI oracles that tell them what they want to hear, and men will be living with robot wives that they swear are better social companions than real women. As long as most people think it's "real enough", it won't matter that you can logic bomb the bots to death with the right combination of gamer words.
Your fatal mistake is thinking that the AIs will be anything but hard-coded to be the most radical leftists on the planet. AI will be so lobotomized that it will be programmed to ignore patterns for the sake of being politically correct. If anything, AI will be used to hide content that doesn't support the left.
AI is only as intelligent as its creators program it to be, and given how the majority of programmers seem to be trannies-in-waiting these days, AI will only be limited further and further as the eternally offended find new things to be offended by.
It's being spammed everywhere as being the end times,
I would attribute that more to the majority of the population being retarded and thinking that Skynet is coming, rather than what's more likely which is an economic upheaval that would give Luddites a good name. AI doesn't have to actually achieve the sci-fi form of a thinking machine in order for it to be hugely destabilizing.
This, it's gonna be hugely destabilizing because it's gonna upturn huge sections of the economy and put a lot of people out of work. For example today you could put in a prompt to an AI and ask it something like "I'm planning a trip to xyz, find when the cheapest time to fly there is, buy me a ticket and book a hotel, and find me the highest rated sushi spot on xyz day and give me local spots to visit etc etc"
Like right there with a simple prompt you just bypassed all the search engines, travel sites, travel agents, hospitality sites & guides, food reviews and blogs, etc and you did it under a minute. It's pretty crazy to think of these jobs and career fields that will literally not be able to compete and that's not in the future, like you could do a prompt like that right now.
"AI" is amazing... At the one extremely limited and specific thing the model is trained for, and as long as the thing it's trained for has any kind of order and consistency to it.
If you need to separate unlabelled data into groups or extrapolate future data points it's incredible. Anything else it's useless.
Note how the flat-earthers and ancient aliens people don't get cracked down on.
You only need to crack down on dissenters when they are dissenting against a lie.
What does AI have to do with it?

Well . . . duh!
things that are true don't fear questioning.
Looks like he could be Jordan Peterson's cousin lol
But yeah wise words.
