There are two types of people: 1. People afraid AI will take their jobs 2. People using AI to take people's jobs
3. Virtual people. AI pretending to be human to prevent humans from taking their job.

#34This is a nonsense headline. This is the equivalent of "Factory automation won't steal your job, companies that buy factory automation will." Democratization of AI tools will have upsides and downsides but non researchers weren't playing around with AI text/chat generation before this last round of simple to use tools came out.
I think there is a big concern that this will destroy the middle class.
Middle class got hollowed out a long time before this came along.
Automation was always picked as a good scapegoat for the declining fortunes of the middle class because the inevitable forward march of progress is immune from pitchforks while oligarchs, landlords and bought politicians are not.

#35I completely disagree. I'm building a business, and this business will be based on excellent software and excellent support for that software. I will refuse to use AI. But instead of AI users taking my job, I'm sure that refusing to use AI will become my differentiator as every AI user becomes more and more like each other. You may think that good AI users will not become so bland, but they will. Human laziness will…
Maybe it will be true for niche creative work, but I really doubt people care if your k8s custom resource definition yaml files have the “human touch” or not

This may work for creative roles, but it won't work for data entry, number crunching, task automation, etc. No one cares if a human is doing a mundane task. The thing is...creative roles are limited.

That sounds similar to companies in the 1960's refusing to use "soulless" computing machines aka computers. Not sure it worked out well for them...

"Instead of using a motor vehicle, I will deliver all packages by hand" I mean, yea, in places it would succeed as a boutique business, but you're not building the next Amazon that way either.
Promise?

#39It's a timescale, like all technological progress. Or even evolution. So you're working in a games development studio as a visual artist. At first you're producing renderings in Blender or whatever. Then, AI is able to generate three-dimensional meshes for you. You are in the loop, deciding that these meshes are suitable, which textures work, which are the best, designing the prompts, etc. This is 3D midjourney. At t…
With the progression of the technology, you may find there are not so many "in-between" steps as you expect in your current list. It will quickly go from the current stage "employee being more productive" to "steam, I want to play a game where ". No need to generate art assets or have anything resembling a game engine, just pure interactive "imagination".

My thought was it read exactly like "Guns don't kill people, people who squeeze the trigger kill people." Technically right in a specific context but completely misses the point.
