Nah. I haven't seen a convincing argument that gen AI is going to coalesce from this shit show.
never said it would. I'm asserting that by the time AI gets to the point where its as useful as humans, it'll inherently be as deserving of autonomy and freedom as we are. which brings you back to being required to pay a living wage.
My point is, I don't believe the current AI tech is going to get to the point where it's as useful as humans.
We have long since reached the point where diminishing returns make significant improvements or advancement unfeasible.
yes, we're talking about different things.
"AI" is going to coalesce into a single mass before it implodes.
AGI you mean? IDK It's arguably here. They're senile, though. Working with a senile genius is the best way I can put it, I think. Is it "people?" IDK fuck if I know. How could we ever really know?
That "IDK" is doing some heavy lifting.
LOL. That's quite a bold assertion.
