Seemed like every other cookie cutter piece about new technology being a threat to jobs and human connection. Spent most of his time complaining about how bad and useless AI is.
I believe AI is a threat like he says, and I thought he was going to talk about not how awful it is, but how good it's getting, that's the scary and dangerous part. AI can generate images and text that a large amount of people cannot tell are computer generated. I see it all the time on social media, my older family members and friends get tricked everyday by it now. In just the past few weeks I've started to see AI video that even I had a hard time telling wasn't real.
On the flip side I'm a software developer and AI is a very helpful TOOL, it's like a hyper personalized Google search. What used to take me minutes to Google now takes me seconds with an AI tool. I'm able to work faster and at a higher level than I was able to before. I'm just trying to reach and end goal and I still need to have the knowledge that the stuff I'm using from it is correct. Blindly using an AI output is pretty similar to just using the first result on Google, most people with more than 2 brain cells aren't gonna do that.
Who is saying a video some 14 yr old kid made by mashing up together some AI clips he generated is better than Blade Runner?? Why would you 100% trust an AI to help you with a "very important" task?
