He literally could've just bought it and.....let it run as it had been?! The need to be self important has cost him LITERAL BILLIONS of dollars, what a mess 😂

I'm not normally a huge conspiracy theorist, but I think there's an added layer here of trying to "prove" that creative jobs have no value because he was a co-founder of the AI company that created ChatGPT. So much of his early ranting/gloating/joking was about how creative jobs were just a waste of time and space with (lbr, primarily female) employees swanning around with their Starbucks and not doing much.

tl;dr it's at least partly an attempt to convince people that only engineering/tech jobs are "real" and that everything else is fluff that AI can replicate.

Aren't a lot of tech jobs endangered by AI?

[sarahvma]

I mean, the vast majority of jobs are endangered by AI unless we either put more safeguards in place or give in and go UBI.

But I find it curious that there's so much talk around "AI can paint and write!" given that it's application would clearly be better suited to coding, for instance.

If people wanted to be smart (rather than just greedy), they'd accept that AI is a tool that people can use, but that it shouldn't be used to replace people. But we tend to be greedier than we are smart.

Not until users can write clear and complete requirements/specs. Until then, I'm good to tear my hair out trying to get through to them that no, we can't give them parallel perpendicular green red lines.

Now testing on the other hand...

These tech bros absolutely know this and would never let it be used that way, given they're the ones who created it and have control over its use and distribution. Whatever they release publically, they've already established safeguards for themselves that's been made and tested several years ago. I've said it before but until AI starts hurting lawyers, Idt anyone will actually do anything about it and certainly not at the speed they should be addressing it.

[meadowphoenix]

you heard about the lawsuit against the "AI Lawyer" that probably isn't AI and definitely isn't a lawyer.

[pseudonygma]

What do you mean? AI Lawyer that's neither an AI or a lawyer??

[meadowphoenix]

yes lol, there's a business called DoNotPay that purports to be the world's first robot lawyer, but its the target of a class action suit in California, AND Kathryn Tewson, i don't know her occupation lol but she's on twitter, investigated the site by trying it out and is now suing DoNotPay for information regarding if even actually really uses AI to generate files at all (when she first investigated the site it took hours to days for it to generate the legal docs she wanted which..should not be happening with AI). It's definitely not run by any lawyer.

Also in general machine learning is ramping up in legal profession because companies absolutely don't want to pay people to read form contracts lol.

as long as AI is doing things like this...i don't want it doing anything for me
