This new AI software is mind boggling.
Is ithe beginning of the end?
Would be interested to hear anybody's informed opinion.
Other than how fcuked we R, it's all anybody is talking about!

I read something the other day about a new piece of kit (name escapes me), where you can ask it to write an essay, report etc. and no matter how technical, wallop, on your computer in seconds.
Made even more harrowing by the fact that you could also ask that your essay be in any language, writing style(s) as well.
As you say: the beginning of the end. I say thus because as the late Stephen Hawking predicts, if people aren't using their brains, it'll cease up. See further how barstaff are incapable of adding up a round without recourse to asking the till. |  |

I've messed briefly with ChatGPT. Using it to come up with some headlines ideas for Google Ads, based on landing page content.
A lot of people I know are testing it out for marketing related purposes... content writing, chatbots, etc.
It's useful as a research tool, collating information on a topic - provided you ask it the right questions.
At the moment I would say it's a good tool for getting you 80% percent of the way there. Then you need to be a good editor and fact checker, if you want to publish what it creates.
As with all these AIs, I think they will always need a human input to point them in the right direction.
More useful to me at the moment is an AI called Midjourney, which is pretty cool for creating images. For example I asked it to create "an image of a woman, reading a planner, in the style of Banksy" and it created images like the following:

It only gets me 50% of the way there, and in a way whereby I am not sure how to start so, I ask it to start writing it for me. This gets me going with a good start.
As for facts, I have caught it repeating many misconceptions in my industry, some of which are dangerous. So, it's like all tools, useful but very limited. If you rely upon it, you will fail.
For many years academics have held the dissertation as the highest form fo testing if someone knows a subject or not, but no govts and non-academics always want exams, exams, exams. Forever the argument has gone back and forth.
Well now with this tool, it's been proven exams are just memory tests and not knowledge tests. As ChatGPT is passing loads of exams all over the internet and in other places. Still, people will stay with exams, despite it being proven they are memory tests and not real knowledge that can be applied. |  |

At my uni it's the academics desperate to keep exams, we keep providing analysis that they are increasing and aren't as useful as other forms of assessment and we keep being ignored | |

I can’t find the link, but there is apparently an impending scandal with all of these face filter apps too where they are storing our faces and background information and it’s ending up in the hands of commercial interests. | | | |

Commercial interests have been harvesting our data, buying habits etc. for decades now; it's just that it's growing ever more pernicious and sophisticated.
The real fun comes when that info starts to be manipulated 'against' you for a variety of purposes. If Eric Blair were alive today, he'd be turning in his grave. | |

I had a quick look and whilst searching, discovered that Alexander Nix (Cambridge Analytica CEO) is 2 years into a 7 year disqualification from owning or operating a business ruling.
I have always been wary of having my information digitally visible and tend to be online with that as a primary concern. As far as FB are concerned, I went to MIT to study stuffing teddy bears.  |  |

Bruh. Terminator came out in 1984 and it had it all figured out. People are going to create some robot bullshit that's going to fk us all right in the face.
Between robots in Japan that can do somersaults for some reason, AI bots that can write books and deep fake tech that can create film and photos of people who aren't there, this all seems like a recipe for a bummed gob.
Add to that the fact that kids now have to be surgically removed from their phones and I'm pretty glad I've not got any bairns growing up with this nonsense. |  |

Just gave it a go. Seems plausible:
Write a script about Clive, a QPR supporter, trying to muster up the will to write a match report of his beloved QPR which just lost to Huddersfield 4-0. Clive is in the Crown & Sceptre pub and says the word "f*ck" a lot
INT. CROWN & SCEPTRE PUB - DAY
Clive sits at the bar with a pen and notebook, staring at a blank page. He takes a sip of his beer and lets out a sigh.
Clive: (muttering to himself) Alright, let's do this. QPR vs. Huddersfield...
He pauses, takes another sip of his beer, and lets out another sigh.
Clive: (groaning) f*cking Huddersfield...
Bartender: Everything okay, mate?
Clive: (frustrated) No, it's not okay. QPR just got thrashed by Huddersfield 4-0. And now I have to write a f*cking match report about it.
Bartender: Well, try to focus on the positives. Did anyone have a good game?
Clive: (sarcastic) Yeah, f*cking Huddersfield had a great game.
Bartender: (laughing) Alright, mate. I'll leave you to it.
Clive: (sighing) Thanks.
Clive picks up his pen and starts to write, but then pauses and crumples up the paper.
Clive: (angry) F*cking hell, this is hopeless.
He takes another sip of his beer and sets the pen down on the bar.
Clive: (defeated) Maybe I'll just forget about the report and drown my sorrows in this beer instead.
Bartender: (smiling) I think that's a good plan.
Clive nods in agreement and takes another sip of his beer. The camera zooms out as he continues to drink, clearly in no rush to write that match report.
Fade to black.

I’ve been saying that about Skynet.
We had a company come into my work today for a meeting and we got into the subject of ChatGTP and they pretty much admitted that it’ll be the end of all of our careers 😞🥺 | |
