It's already been proven to be about 10x better than human doctors at analyzing scans and X-rays to identifying cancer and other medical issues.
It can test and analyze safety procedures and engineering specs in a day that would take potentially years to fully analyze through human means.
It can deliver advanced financial instrument modeling almost instantly.
End of the day, it's going to be an immensely powerful tool that is going to be embraced by unfriendly nations that we compete directly against. Like any advanced tool, it's going to be both used and abused. The only way any sort of control can be put in place is to be the clear leader in the space.
It's too late to be afraid of it, the genie is out of the bottle and no company or nation is going to slow down their development. You don't have to embrace it, but it's best to find a way to live with it that you can accept. You have to take the good with the bad.

I still don't understand how any of this is legally kosher. It's all trained on copyrighted material. How is that not shut down?

It has been my experience there are always errors / hallucinations that you have to know enough about to correct.

I usually find that happens on a secondary prompt.Things can get wild quickly. I don't think people realize how important prompt writing and syntax are with AI output.
I've definitely had to restart a prompt thread when the hallucinations start.

I think it's a potential disaster.
Not only is it already being looked at as a way to wholesale replace humans in numerous walks of life, it's being treated as an oracle, it's being approached as a centralized problem solver, the center of an international weapons race and a gateway to remove human autonomy and independence. Some of its biggest proponents are ultra-wealthy utopians who have long been proponents of reducing population. AI potentially gives them an argument - outside of any religious concern - to eliminate people as people will no longer be required to make the economy or social structures tick.
I've seen no real solid arguments for AI other than profit and convenience except for "Well China and Russia will do it". And, in worst case scenario, if AI can actually become sentient and self-determining, we may be wholesale eliminated... all for ultimately the sake of greed. And that - greed - is probably at the heart of every bad direction this country is heading in.

This brings back memory of a story I read in Playboy decades ago (yes, I read the articles)
It was about an age where all actual facts had been discovered millennia ago - and for thousand of years all technology had been devoted to cataloging the access to that information.
then the catalogs to the information became so voluminous they had to create catalogs for the accessing the catalogs - you see where this progression is headed.
FINALLY it transpired that all the actual facts about everything were etched onto the outer shell of electrons of some element in some galaxy far away.
And then it happened - a random object crashed into that element and the entire population of earth found itself unable to perform any task whatsoever.
(The actual article was much more well written than that synopsis reveals)

All AI is - an amazing assistant - you dumb fricks act like Braxton can hop on his AI in his parent’s basement and tell it to destroy the world.. that’s not how AI works you dumbfrick

It’s an arms race. So… probably not.
