What are your thoughts on ChatGPT and other AI?

[DrixlRey]

I think there is an AI craze right now that's feeding venture capitalists FOMO. Of course it's amazing technology, so was the internet in 2000s. Then the dot come bubble burst, and only the strong survive. Right now companies are tagging everything they do as having AI, and it's not going to really affect their bottom line. Stocks will drop alongside inflation and high interest rates and we will see bad times before good.

Personally, truthfully, I'm very supportive of AI and technology advancements like these. I think these types of technology will only enhance our lives and provide a clear path towards more efficiency.

I think AI technology could help adjust our economy. Balance our freight/logistics. Improve our agricultural productions. Enhance our educational experience. Improve our quality of game design. Produce the best ways for us to advance our civilization.

As a developer, i fell like less of my time is spent on google for simple problems, and i dedicate more time to the projects, when i don't know how to do something, i get a opinion with bard or gpt, understand to go right if my code and some problems that i normally would spend a day thinking about, some minutes and i can go to other think, and with copilot, or codeium, i write less repetitive code and keep the focus on what is inportant.

I think it's a really exciting time. The opportunities that are arising are very promising.
I'm thinking, for example, of YouTube videos that are translated and spoken in your language in real time, wouldn't that be fantastic?
Office work can be relieved. Yes, it will probably also save a lot of jobs. Of course, politicians need to address this problem urgently so that workers don't end up on the street.
However, I also think that the government and politicians are once again living behind the moon and are not up to date.
It should be regulated somehow so that the whole thing doesn't take on a life of its own.
We are currently at a point before an event horizon and nobody can really predict what it will look like afterwards.
But I am definitely optimistic.

I completely agree with this point that a lot of the hullabaloo we are seeing about the outrageous promises for the possibilities of AI are pumped up by companies trying to sell stocks.

I personally see it as a fun and exciting tool that in no way truly replaces humans. I don't even mind the AI art because, as someone else said, it's pretty obvious it was AI-created. As long as someone isn't trying to pass themselves off as an original artist, I don't mind if people use AI to create art. I was more triggered by it before I attempted to use it myself. It's actually not easy to use, and you have to be patient and know how to use it to get good results. It still takes time and imagination. I don't even mind if people sell products with AI imagery AS LONG AS it includes other creative content that is original to the person. For example, if someone created an entire board game but used AI to help illustrate it... or wrote a novel and used AI to create a cover. I honestly don't mind that because it allows people to bring their projects to life on their own, according to their vision. But I know that's a controversial opinion. What I WOULD mind is if someone was pretending to be an original artist and all of their work was purely AI, that doesn't sit right with me.

I've also played around with chat GPT and while he is great at helping he's not flawless by any stretch of the imagination. Of course I haven't tried the paid option soooo maybe I haven't seen everything it can do haha

im OK with ai in certain situations... like helping people w anxiety figure out what to say at an interview, or to plot out a to-do list, etc. but i really hate it when people train these ai to do artists jobs.
its so sucky that we have to work so much and dont have time for making music, art, writing etc and then the robots can do it for us. instead of just doing the work in the first place.
i hate capitalism

I think AI can be helpful for some things. It scares me how it might be used to monitor and censor people on the internet, tho.

The aspect that worries me the most is the art side of things. I'm really hoping better regulations come into place to protect artists and their material from being combed and reused by these AI programs. I work as an artist and it's very scary how AI is potentially going to render many of us basically useless if steps aren't taken. I've personally seen a friend's art being used in one of these programs and it was eerie to say the least...

A lot of freelance artists get work from making art for adverts and companies. You can bet that companies will start using AI to make their graphics which could potentially render graphic designers completely obsolete.

I've been using AI a fair bit in my professional and my personal life for reasons I won't explain. It's definitely useful.

The problem is almost nobody really understands how powerful this tech really is. We all know about the 'dangers of AI', but the truth is it's already way beyond that. You know the dystopian movies where AI takes over from humans? Yeah, that's actually more than possible already. Most basic AI available to civilians is already capable of that and has been specifially limited from being able to do that.

There is tech out there with the big corporates that has already made nearly every human role on the planet obsolete. We aren't going to be predated, we're already predated. It just depends on who and when decides to let the dogs out.

I find ChatGPT great for helping me fix up my resumes and tailor it for each job. It's a great way to quickly outline a cover letter too. Obviously need to proofread what they write and stylize it yourself afterwards.

i dont really have a strong opinion on things like chatGPT, but when it comes to AI "art" i really hate it. most AI art databases are built off stolen works or also tricking people into helping train the AI, yes we all had fun making funny stuff in dall-e but the goal was to get free data to later sell a product

i think that AI can have its uses but the way people are trying to push it right now i just dont like.
