I don’t think we’re quite aware of the effect AI tools will have from this point. It goes far beyond spitting out some bland, generic blog posts, or ripping off existing art to remix new art. I think it’s significant that the billionaires want to slow it down (most likely so they can either take it over or figure out how to get in at the bottom floor to make a buck off of it).
But unless the technology plateaus, and does so very quickly, the shift to a new order is completely unpredictable. I’m contributing to my company’s knowledge base. If my work is complete enough, and AI gets just a little smarter, then I’m writing my own unemployment slip. A lot of other people are in the same boat.
Sorry to be a bummer. It’s been a rough week.
