So long, and thanks for all the chipsAI will be much more suited to interstellar travel than we are and I think it will ultimately do like the dolphins and bugger off into space.
A really positive use for AI would be producing a syopsys of each thread in off topic and posting it at the top of page 1 so I know wether to read it or not. It could add updated info on on-going handbags, number of celeb posters active etc so I can make an informed decision.
Edit: A pun warning would also be welcome.
...and that would be a bad thing because?Don't let AI anywhere near the matchday thread....it would probably summarise that we all need wiping out due to elevated levels of doom and gloom
psychedelic casual ? It's annoying isn't it, always enjoyed reading his posts on this forum. Hope all is well.I’m more concerned that @psychedelic blue seems to have deleted his account? :-(

Sorry, yeah, casual, not blue. He’s a very good poster. Just hope he’s going through a username change and not left. He’s had a couple over the years.psychedelic casual ? It's annoying isn't it, always enjoyed reading his posts on this forum. Hope all is well.
He’s had more than a couple and he’s a fucking brilliant poster and his knowledge of City’s history, Gary James apart, is second to none.Sorry, yeah, casual, not blue. He’s a very good poster. Just hope he’s going through a username change and not left. He’s had a couple over the years.
Yeah, I’m sure he was Caveman when I first joined up. Shame if we’ve lost him and been left with some of the utter fuckwits who’ve joined recently. (They know who they are..)He’s had more than a couple and he’s a fucking brilliant poster and his knowledge of City’s history, Gary James apart, is second to none.
He's not wrong. Once AI is developed enough to both be trusted to interface with real world equipment and to also iterate on itself we'll eventually reach a point where a human will serve no purpose in any avenue of industry. Ultimately it makes currency irrelevant as there is no way to earn the currency and there is nobody needing paying with it.I see Musk says it will be the end of work. Further proof of his lunacy.
It’s an interesting one that’s for sure, and I accept much of what you’re saying, but there have to be limits.He's not wrong.

In my employment we're already looking at multiple AI models interacting with each other in different capacities to design, code, QA and deploy code solutions, we even have AI "experts" in security and ethics that input into the designs. It's not quite there, but with the models we're using it can already do the work of a junior dev team with fairly minimal human oversight. It's not hard to extrapolate from this to see models that iteratively develop ever more advanced versions of other models, or even themselves.
It's a long road to get to the point where we don't need any human input in all industries though, and an extremely painful one. As the number of roles for people becomes fewer the competition for roles will only grow. How do we transition from a world where everyone who wants a role can get one to one where nobody needs a role? I can see conflicts when we hit the point where money is still needed but there aren't enough roles to go around.
Universal Basic Income and reduced working weeks are starting points, but eventually we hit the point where the people with ambitions beyond the lifestyle they can maintain with what is an effective minimum wage outweigh the number of roles for them to take up. Will they just accept that? Will the rich accept a world where their advantages in life are removed and everyone has the same lifestyle?
Ultimately, I think my question is will AI wipe out humanity or will humanity wipe out humanity because of AI?
You've convinced us your job is safe ;)It’s an interesting one that’s for sure, and I accept much of what you’re saying, but there have to be limits.
My job, and my success within it, is principally founded upon the relationships I have with the people I provide a service to. I’m busier than (or at the very least I’m as busy as) any of my cohort, not necessarily because I’m better than them at technical aspects of the job, but because of my people skills and ability to interact with, and gain the trust of, people across a wide spectrum of social class and background. This gives me a huge advantage over most of them, and a significant one over all.
Never say never, but I’m struggling to see how a machine is ever going to challenge that. I don’t doubt in a few years a machine will have a far greater knowledge and understanding of the field I operate in, and be able to come up with the correct answer more efficiently and correctly than me, but to some extent my response to that is “so what?”
There will be some jobs that a machine will not be better at. Maybe a minority, but a significant one would be my best guess.
At least for now!You've convinced us your job is safe ;)
I never realised you were a high class male escort. In that case I too will be impressed if they make a machine that can understand women.It’s an interesting one that’s for sure, and I accept much of what you’re saying, but there have to be limits.
