AI is going to change our lives, sooner than you think. Already there are self driving cars, but now look at what google is doing. This is crazy stuff. It’ll put a lot of people out of jobs. Computers already did that. Look at the offices in movies in the 50s-60-70s compared to our streamlined offices of today. This is the next step.
Just had a call from a guy who is in IT. He was replaced by AI and now hasn’t found a new gig in 8 months. He said AI destroyed his career path.
Now, it looks like the Amazon delivery driver is in jeopardy.
Amazon tests humanoid robots for package delivery LINK
- Amazon is reportedly developing artificial intelligence software for humanoid robots designed for package delivery, testing them in a dedicated “humanoid park” in the US.
- The company is testing if humanoid robots in Rivian vans can speed drop-offs by making package deliveries while human drivers serve other addresses.
- Following tests in the “humanoid park,” Amazon plans “field trips” for the robots to attempt delivering packages to homes in real-world environments.
The gist of this video clip is that it will be very easy to go get a token for this AI product and produce deceiving content. We shouldn’t trust anything we see online anymore. Even if you just fool 10% of the US population, that’s 34 million people.
I think we make take away mobile phones from our politicians. Don’t let em on the internet.
Just like going back to bluebooks. We’ll revert back to newspapers and magazine for info.
I don’t think there’s a universal definition of what AI is.
A robot delivering packages isn’t really AI, just like ChatGPT or video generation isn’t really AI.
All 3 of these things are absolutely incredible technology, but they are all just following specific scripts/using pre-set models to perform tasks. They aren’t aware of what they are doing.
That being said, will automation replace jobs absolutely
Agentic AI is the next evolution of traditional AI and it’s already here. It’s just in its infancy stage. Give it a year or two and you’ll start seeing applications of it in everyday life.
AI won’t take your job, it’s the person that knows how to use AI that will take your job.
It depends on the sector
Minimum wage jobs? Many will be non existent 10 years from now.
But jobs are that highly regulated - i.e. corporate jobs → AI cannot be used in these professions because AI databases are not centralized and primarily get their information from open, public domains. Also, like i said ChatGPT in particular doesn’t know what it’s responding to or why, it’s merely following a script essentially.
I agree, certain aspects of jobs will change, such as creating PowerPoints or drafting (not sending) emails, but until there are centralized databases for AI where the information is 100% factual and verified, AI will never be implemented in the way people think.
I can see companies running their custom models locally on their own servers. Like a law firm or hospitals
Law is a highly regulated industry
How can individual firms have their own databases when law itself is standardized at the state level
Each state would have to have a centralized database that all law firms have access to, otherwise, if localized AI is deciding how to approach a criminal case that differs from another law firm’s localized AI, then you run the risk of lawsuits
That’s how law firms work now. Each firm has its lawyers interpret laws to try and win cases. Plus, not every firm specializes in the same things. Real estate, trial, corporate, medical.
If you’ve used an AI before, you know they get better with training the way you want it to respond. You don’t want to share that.
Interpretation is one thing.
But if you’re using AI for research or to determine how to approach a case with standardized laws, then again, you run the risk of lawsuits if a client loses that case.
Imagine an AI being the fate of your life. I don’t think so…
The only real example we currently have of AI that’s close to any real AI is GPT. And still to this day, it’s not a reliable application
I use Chat GPT all the time to help me compose emails. I always proof read it and make some minor changes. It does a much better job than I can. I’m a terrible writer (some may have noticed).
I also use it to help me put together my presentations. It summarizes the notes, pulls out themes, and prioritize customers needs. It’s a good check to make sure I didn’t miss anything. But I don’t use it to do my job.
So w/r/t law firms and Ai, I can speak on this. There are several issues in the context of the legal profession and Ai usage that are currently being fleshed out, and which will have major implications for not only the law, but for everyone.
The key issue in any legal case is attorney-client privilege. Well if Ai, owned by a third party software provider is involved, then you will lose your privilege on any communication which goes through those servers. Similarly, DOJ, IRS and other government and opposing counsels have begun requesting all prompts used by client counsel on Ai software platforms. If you use Ai, who is the actual lawyer? These are things that must be addressed. Finally, we use Ai at our firm and while it is good for some things, for the most part it is just a data aggregator; it literally takes Google search and then combines it into a summary of whatever you asked it to do. The prompts are the key; stupid questions/prompts will get stupid answers. Even more importantly, however, is that as prompts have become less intelligible, Ai developers are finding that the output is getting worse. Seems that Ai is literally dependent on humans using it to generate well thought out answers; otherwise Ai will summarize other Ai and you get terrible output.
In addition, when Ai is used to create something, then who is the owner of that final product? Is it the company that runs the Ai, or the person who paid to use it? This may seem open and shut, until you understand how the modern Tech Economy works. In general, you never own the software you use; it’s effectively a lease(a license). In addition, some of these software licenses have language in there contracts that specifically give these companies claims on the data. So, for example, say you use Ai to make a new drug. You are excited because you think you own it and will win a Nobel and maybe get filthy rich. WRONG! OpenAI lays claim to a portion of it and says that since Ai was used to do most of the work, it’s their drug, or at least they should get a portion of any money earned on that patent. Well, can a Ai file patent? I am not an IP attorney but my understanding is no, it can’t.
For lawyers, I am convinced that a whole new body of law, Ai law, will rise as a result. Network security will become even more important, and energy will become key if this thing is to grow as they want it to. There is so much money going into data centers and quantum computing that if it does not work the economy will hit a major recession, sort of like what happened after the Dot com craze in the early 2000’s.
That’s crazy, does Microsoft get a cut of an authors novel if he uses Word to type it? I hope we figure it out, but it’s still exciting.
This was more so was i was alluding to above
Even 5 years ago, the way you claim to use GPT would just be called automation.
Today, if I told my golden retriever to grab me a beer from the refrigerator, an investor would call that “AI”
Nobody truly knows what AI is. It’s mostly investor speak right now. As far as intellectual aspects of AI for highly regulated fields, ChatGPT is merely grabbing information from public open domains (the internet).
That lends to lawsuits, plagiarism, unverified output, etc.
The only way around this is if the government/local governments or industries themselves have centralized databases where anytime a GPT app gets asked a question, you know for a fact that you are getting verified factual information to assist with your task.
Until that happens, then what you’re really seeing “replacing jobs” is just automation that’s being called AI for shareholder value
Man, if you can’t tell the difference between automation and ai like chatgpt, then there’s no debating with you. The things chatgpt can do is amazing. And really it just beginning. Maybe it is investor speak, but just like when the internet came about, the few survivors from the infancy have dominated their markets. I remember when amazon was just a book site. That’s what everyone is investing in.
I’m not saying ChatGPT isn’t impressive
Actually, I find its ability to generate would could be entire novels in mere seconds incredibly fascinating
But as far as the responses itself, it’s not AI. It’s a language model. It predicts combinations of words.
Again, incredible technology. However, it’s not going to be used for highly regulated industries until it has a centralized database.
As far as generating things like PowerPoints or email drafts, i think it’s great
Chat gpt is generative AI. It generates content based on it’s knowledge base. Agentic AI is AI that has a specific knowledge base that can act autonomously on your behalf.
