AI Tech

I'm of the view that AI is going to hit a dead end.....mainly because I think there is a limit to intelligence....especially without consciousness, but regardless of that its effects on day to day life are going to be major and permanent.

You are living in a transitional period akin to cars taking over the horse and cart.....that took twenty years and this might actually be quicker. Sex robots are good for memes but this is going to be major.

Ted Kazinski, the Unibomber, did predict the rise of AI. Although it didnt really take a rocket scientist to see it coming. When Big Blue beat the World's supreme Chess Grandmaster then the writing was on the wall for all the rest of us.

Go back to, say 1700 AD, and a large farm would provide employment for hundreds of labourers. Village-life made good economic sense. Today the same farm has 1 tractor, 1 computer, and 2 workers.

IT and AI is now doing something similar for bureaucracy. Formerly a skyscraper filled with hundreds of paper-pushers..........now replaced by a dozen technocrats.

The implications of AI, making us all redundant, are scary. Of course there will still be jobs taking out the bins, fixing a fuse box, or minding babies. But a whole tranche of the workforce could face the chop. And if its sex robots making sex workers redundant then surely that is good material for the next Graham Linehan sitcom ?

Will it really God help us in that case.

If the videos are anything to go by twice the data means twice the monotone repetition, twice the length, I thought is this is actually factually correct, and on checking it wasn't!

It makes VAR look like Einstein, it's ideal for HS2.

I was put off buying a new laptop who wants all that bloat, plus co-pilot and endless updating.

To be continued.......

{the forbin project 1970 film} well what is going to happen to all the useless eaters AI might keep us as pets if we are lucky and the world is not run by shaping lizards who are slowly taking over the planet

That is amazing.

I was wondering the other day how long before anyone can produce a complete AI movie based on a script or a book.

For instance:

"AI, make a movie out of Charles Dickens David Copperfield" The AI would then create this from the book allowing you to edit it.

"AI, have the character of Mr Micawber played by Sir Laurence Olivier"

"AI Change height of David Copperfield / colour of hair to brown / colour of coat green"

It can't be that far away now.

From what I've seen they still have some small advances to be made like how the environment other than light affects the skin and resolution but maybe they have already done that as all that is already within their capabilities.

Aside from copyright and the uncanny valley aspect I think all the above is possible.

There are of course huge implications for employment within those entertainment sectors. Similar to the music industry they may find that to make money they have to rely upon live performances.....So in a way they revert to their beginnings of live theatre.

Huge changes are coming to all our sectors. Musk is talking about selling robots that do tasks around the home, automation of everyday tasks isn't far away.....Your robot slave will do the hovering and the washing up and so on....I'd say that's less than ten years away and will reduce a huge number of jobs.

I think one of the huge unaddressed problems with making people unemployed is the obvious......If you are reducing the number of wage earners in society who is going to mass buy your product?

I haven't seen any leaders addressing this obvious question....it's not as if the question is new.

I can see a not to distant future where a home care worker sits at a screen and dials into her clients. They will each have a robot which apart from doing basic household chores also checks the patients vital signs.

The care worker only visits those that really need it whilst the robots takes care of the rest.

My first AI video will be

"AI re-run the 1990 FA Cup Final with Crystal Palace winning after Mark Hughes goal is disallowed for being a whining cheating c unit."

"AI Please ensure that Mark Hughes gets a good kicking"

"AI please include a young Mark Clattenburg in the crowd crying as his beloved Moan United lose"

I think you get the picture. 😀
