Yes integration is key here. If its just a platform where you have to ask it do stuff everytime like chatGPT it will not be very useful. It needs to be able to set goals and tasks by itself. Like if it needs to make weekly excel sheets reports it needs to do that every week automatically. Without having to imput the data every time into a seperate website.

Would the robot then stand in the kitchen washing dishes manually? That sounds very inefficient as the dishwasher can run while the the robot cleans the house for example... Plus I would be very annoyed if a humanoid robot stands in my small kitchen half of the day doing stuff there while a dishwasher is neatly packed away.

Dishes is an interesting one. Because it would then basically load the dishes into a specific purpose machine: the dishwasher. I wonder if they will argue.

These models also have a random function thats why it gives a slighly different answer even if you ask the same question again. With text this is ok-ish but with math you need to be precise.

Even then it might get common stuff right but i can easily think of a sum that in the history of the internet has never been said before: 568753334668864468000 + 7654778875 + 433367886554.

I mean i switched to being self employed 10 years ago already and live basically like this now. No AGI needed. I would never go back to office work even if it pays much more.

Grahic design, font design and branding etc is still not possible with these models. It will come for sure, but not yet.

Well Tencent is a big fish. Owns 10% of Reddit too I believe? Could be interesting to see them enter the AI market.

There are many things 'looming' on the horizon. Someone into the 'Collapse' might laugh at you because we won't have time to reach AGI (collapsing energy grids, climate change, etc).

Someone into the Russian war might laugh at them because nukes will fly next year.

Someone into economy might say that everything is going to crash massively

Someone into biology might say that we will all be dead soon because antibiotics won't work anymore within a few years.

Are you following all these things closely? All of them claim it's coming soon and that nobody is talking about it enough.

Ok thats good to hear. So it wasn't as bad as I feared.

In the beginning of this year Deepmind laid off a big part of it's staff (just like many tech companies).The Deepmind research facility in Edmonton was even closed completely.

Could be that progress is actually slower or even halted because of this, or they kept the basic team and fired people like the blog writer for example.

Lobotomised sounds so extreme lol. It's just weights and rulesets being adjusted. They do this hundreds of times in testing. We don't even know how this 'Sydney' was compared to all the versions in testing. Maybe this was already a weird 'lobotomised' version of it.

What about making it easier for self driving cars to navigate in our world? Perhaps special road markings/signs made for self driving AI's. That could close the gap faster.

They will have it. They will just be more expensive as they need to buy it from another country for example.

Realistically it will just be more in between. Won't be an utopia, but it won't be a dystopia either.

Now waiting for graphic design (the field im in myself). I don't think it will take very long, but on the other hand it's quite different than both illustration and UI.

There is only one acceptable voice for an AI assistant and thats Mr Gutsy from Fallout 4 ;)

wasn't the issue with Amazon that ChatGPT actually new some stuff from Amazon that should have been secret?

The point here was that some of that info apparently ended up in its training data. Hence why employees need to be more careful where they put/post stuff.

Why are people so focussed on subscriptions anyway? I read here for a long time but I never use the subscription function of reddit...

Hmm yes I was thinking about this. Currently nobody talks about the power usage of chatGPT. It's quite a lot per prompt and this is only going to get worse as the models get bigger and bigger.

A black swan event could be that we simply don't have enough power available to unlock the true potential of AI in the next few years and that progress is being held back because of these power shortages.

The thing is that all subs start to blend in each other a bit lately. r/ChatGPT, /r/futurology, r/artificial and this sub.

Feels like a twist on the famous quantum mechanics quote.

Reasonably nothing can be done, except perhaps harsh punishments for people spreading deepfake stuff. But on a personal level it's impossible to regulate.

Yes you are correct. There are already many websites that offer deepfake options, and since you can upload any picture, and any video that you want to replace the faces in, people can upload whatever, and whoever, they want.

I'm quite happy that I'm not in school anymore. Cyberbullying will be so easy this way. School is such a fast moving social environment that even if you had detectors for deepfakes, nobody would care. Damage would already been done.

It doesn't really matter I suppose. Enough papers and research available for other groups/companies to make similar stuff. Matter of months.

Customer support for sure. It's already automated in a lot of places, often with very basic chatbots. I just hope it also makes it better for tech savvy people. I really hate dealing with customer support if they go trough all the basic steps first. "Yes I've turned if off and on already 100 times before I called you.'
