And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've been foraying down the aisles of AI for a few months and 2 things come to mind.
First, I have been a master architectural designer with AutoCAD for 30+ years and I believe it to be the most perfect employee. For some, too perfect. AutoCAD does EXACTLY what you ask of it, nothing more, nothing less. So you have to be very careful what you ask it to do.
Second, A building contractor told me many years ago, "You can't buy good construction, but you can supervise it." He is correct. If you don't know the correct way to frame a house, how are you going to recognize the wrong way?
AI is like the worlds greatest set of encyclopedia's. And dictionary, and thesaurus, etc. Every piece of information ever made, available at your fingertips.
If you have in mind, say, a specific car, and you ask AI to show you a car it won't show you the one you have in mind. It will show you the 12 billion cars in it's database and maybe the one you have in mind is in there. But you have to give the AI the precise directions to reveal what you are looking for. Capiche?
AI hasn't the capacity to create something brand new from scratch - that is a uniquely human trait - the ability to imagine, to dream, to think in the abstract. AI has no ability to do that and never will and it can only draw upon that which has already been done.
AI will not, and cannot, ever replace humans because it is not organic and unable to do that which is a uniquely human thing. What it will do though is sift out the posers and the scammers, the fakers. The talentless shysters that prey on all of us.
If you are good at what you do you will continue to be so, and may possibly excel. If you're a mediocre, talentless and lazy slacker you will indeed be replaced by a machine.
Wow, I am a big fan of shrooms,would I feel enjoy living at least in round one of the future!
