O/T:- Chat GPT / AI

[GranthamPie]

Most people, who have to actually and physically work for a living and don’t, (according to brilliant minds like David Graeber) have “bull**** jobs”, won’t have to worry in the short term. The rest just have to worry about who has the metaphorical “finger on the trigger”.

RIP, mankind. You really gave it to the ants on a plate this time.

As someone who most definitely has a bull**** job (loved that book by the way!), I'm already using ChatGPT more than I do Google in my everyday work. As a result, I'm expected to be more productive than I've ever been before. I'm fairly certain my job won't exist in five years, but given the speed at which things are developing, I could be obsolete in five months. Then again, the job I do didn't exist 30 years ago, so who knows what the future holds. I've wondered what I'd do next, but everything I can think of will almost certainly be automated as well.

On a broader note, I find the speed at which things are unravelling rather alarming. We seem to be hurtling headlong into a future that nobody really wants or asked for, all for the sake of 'advancement' and productivity. It's hard to grasp the impact all this will have, especially when you combine AI with robotics or virtual reality. What will my kids do when they grow up? What will be left? Will people still have normal relationships with actual humans? Will we go to watch football, or will we just immerse ourselves in a virtual world where we get to be the star player and score the winner in the World Cup final. If that was possible, and it actually looked and felt real, why would anyone go and watch Notts County?

Then there's the unimaginable idea/threat of an AI becoming godlike in its knowledge and power, which, if things continue to progress exponentially, could happen fast.

What the hell are we playing at? It reminds me of a conversation in the first Jurassic Park film, where the mathematician dude says something along the lines of, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn't stop to think whether they should."

I was 12 when the first Jurassic Park came out, and that line has always stuck with me.

that goes for a lot of things in life, and that's the problem most people are pre-occupied and excited by the chase of something, and when reality bites....

Some very Thoughtful answers here, better than I could put.
Watched the Rogan podcast with the AI guy on, quite alarming listening.
More alarming to me is the way we seem to be sleep walking to nuclear war ramping it up with Russia, F16s now, China and Taiwan.

Me: Will Notts County get promoted?

AI

As an AI assistant, I am not capable of predicting the future, but I can tell you that Notts County is a very competitive team with a rich history. They have a talented squad, a great coaching staff, and passionate supporters. They certainly have the potential to get promoted, but only time will tell.

Me:

Will Nottingham Forest get promoted?

AI

As an AI assistant, I cannot predict the future, but I can tell you that Nottingham Forest is a historically successful team with a passionate fanbase. The current squad is made up of talented players, and they have a strong coaching staff. They are certainly in contention for promotion, but it will require hard work, dedication, and a bit of luck to achieve that goal.

Me:

Which is the better team, Notts County or Nottingham Forest
