This is where LLM is currently going. Not really AGI since they can't think like humans, but they can do a lot of things and humans can train them on novel things.

Then human work is changed to figuring out new things and the AI solves all old things, that seems much more fun than most white collar work today.

Man will do nothing and machine will do everything. That's a bleak world no one is preparing for.

How is that universal basic income scheme coming along?

Even if AI can't reach (yet) the creativity level, it performs well while trying, at least for now. Who knows in the near future? So far, the roadmap is clear.

The AI push is causing major layoffs in the tech and crypto industries nowadays. But we have been receiving the message "adapt or pay the consequences." Right now, even management positions are being replaced by software. It could sound rude, but it's also part of human nature and evolution. We have created these machines, and now we have to deal with them.

On the other hand, it could be rare at these stages, but we (regular human beings) barely know how the brain really works. And AI has demonstrated, at some point, that it can work very well in some roles (mostly operational, ofc), but it's also turning indispensable. Even governments like the Abu Dhabi one are pushing to rule the emirate fully by AI.

So yeah, even if we don't like it, AI is silently replacing humans. The best you can do is to learn how to leverage and not be left behind.

Isn't that how LLM models are trained right now? Trying to predict the next word within a "gigantic solution space". Interesting.

    The most positive outcome I can think of is one where computers get really good at doing, and humans get really good at thinking

At work I'm seeing colleagues I once considered formidable completely turning off their brains and letting the bot drive, and wholly missing the mark on work quality. It's like a sickness, like COVID brain fog people don't even notice they have.

I see humans getting worse at reading, worse at writing, and worse at programming by themselves. It makes me angry and sad.

We are getting dumber, people, and I fully believe Altman and friends are lying when they say they want it otherwise.
