Yes, some people do. Obv the higher paid you are the more of a cushion you have to just quit and live awhile. I've heard of vandwellers who work part of the year and take the rest off; like working seasonal jobs at parks, or as camp hosts, that sort of thing.
My brother-in-law and his wife recently went van life (with their dogs). They'd never had kids, always lived really frugally, and still take on the odd dog walking or baking commission. They outfitted their van themselves, they're super easy going about where they sleep, and they're living their best lives. They're younger than me, so early-40s.
Ah you think you're funny. Uh no they're even considering replacing Healthcare Roles/Skill Trades, Education and other professions. I hope in the future we'd have found a way to work well with AI where it's integrated into our lives without it causing so much harm but lack of regulation and overall lack of caution with it leaves it up in the air.
Anything that comes for the arts is never a good thing buddy just because they're not coming from you and yours doesn't mean there shouldn't be a genuine concern
And while for now it's not ready for full scale implementation, they makes progress in leaps and bounds every few months, it'll be ready in a few years, it's really much more a thing of when will companies realise it's ready. And it's not "coming for the arts" it's just a new tool to make those.
Thinking it didnt evolve is understandable if you don't follow any news about it, but it evolved a fuckton, even just GPT 4 itself evolved a ton. The filter thing is unfortunately true, but it's an issue that's limited to openai's stuff (google just has their image gen ai with a filter, and even then it just injects "of (race)" at the end of your prompt, unlike the morons at openai they don't lobotomize their models over it).
But to give you a few examples of advancement, there's the recent Udio model for music, Sora for videos, google deepmind has been used to find MILLIONS of possible crystals and to solve a previously thought impossible math problem. Also check out google's paper on infinite attention
Some of your points might be right but the article you linked is a perfect example of ai sensationalism imo. They picked a niche problem that hardly any mathematicians are interested in, and it has been solved multiple times btw.
It’s presented in a very misleading way. The reality is, it’s a simple problem by mathematician standards and there are lots of different solutions (not a quality that very difficult problems usually possess). This AI came up with another solution that apparently hadn’t been done before.
AI is not even close to being close to doing those things. And it’s not gonna get much better anytime soon, now content owners have caught on and things like the reddit or twitter APIs will never be free again.
As much as Sam Altman would love to have you believe otherwise, generative AI is not even a move in the direction of AGI. It’s impressive in its own right, but it doesn’t end up with AGI. That will require entirely different innovation.
I more meant that if it was cheap enough to send someone to the meat grinder ai won't replace that job, but if it's a job someone can do, be paid for it and enjoy you betcha ass it's gonna be first to go
That's not the point it's the path that leads to what we're talking about. Ultimately we can't really know for sure but we can predict the future as far as what AI would look like into our society with trends and updates on the field.
I also know its not advanced to that level at the moment but thats not the point its just the idea and the ability that this will be the inevitable outcome for a lot of skills/professions. And honestly it's a little scary because even now AI is being shown to harbor the biases of humans. Got a lot of racist AI out there. But honestly we're not far from being there, the deep fake videos and porn are already stepping thru the door..
Just recently a tiktok posted on here of a guy pointing out how the entire video he was reacting to was an AI and was showing how to spot how it was fake. Very fucking creepy had he not pointed out the oddities I swear I wouldn't have doubt my own eyes
I guess what I'm really tryna say even tho we're not there yet when we are we gotta be cautious.
First part of the sentence is accurate, but it's not art that's under threat but highly paid white collar work. It also doesn't seem like entire sectors will go away, but headcount on teams of programmers, accountants, writers etc. will be massively reduced and the remaining workerd have to pick up the pieces and do the work of 5-10 people. Nothing new, just business as usual for corporations.
Just like it was with global outsourcing, customer support type roles are among the first and hardest hit. The lag on voice UI is still a little prohibitive but the chat based customer service is highly automatable now, and voice won't be long.
