I’m pro-AI. I don’t really trust openAI to be the harbingers of AGI. But they earned that right (so far) by building and monetizing the initial breakthrough product. It’s been 2 years, has anyone actually lost their job to AI? I rarely see the midjourney images that were all the rage 6 months ago. Hiring less maybe causal. All companies pulled back after the boom times of ZIRP. Seems this is all much ado about nothing.

Pretty sure you can find posts on this website of headlines from companies explicitly announcing layoffs due to AI.

ChatGPT is like a 3.0 version of grammerly or google auto complete. Has anyone done anything remarkable with it or because of it?

From the links on page 1-4 looks like companies are laying people off to invest in AI infra. That’s different than getting replaced by it. I just can’t think of a workflow that can be automated by “AI”

Wow. I am astounded by this inability to think in perspective.

"This technology is already 2 years old, I don't see any societal changes yet, it must be much ado about nothing" must be one of the most superficial takes about technology I've ever read. Really, come on.

Just two things to consider:

1- it takes people and societies a long time to integrate and react to the possibilities offered by new technologies. A time easily measured in years, sometimes in decades.

2- the technology is rapidly evolving- faster than society is actually able to absorb it. Two years are really nothing. A child who was born the day GPT 2 was released has just started primary school, and will enter the job market between 15 and 20 years from today.

> "Some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place," the CTO said of AI's role in the workplace.

She is disgusting. What a revolting and tone deaf thing to say, while stealing people's art to train your AI models. Unreal.
