Thread to talk about funny ChatGPT conversations or how at its current pace AI will fundamentally alter society as we know it, if not end it completely in our lifetime.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.

Can't wait for them to take over and the war to begin.

I do a lot of programming at work and GPT has been really helpful getting stuff started for me or answering questions about errors. It will give me step by step instructions to troubleshoot and they typically always resolve my issue

A lot of the focus in the media world has been whether AI is going to take over writing content, and that's certainly a thing, but also TIL that all the SEO expertise I've accrued over two and a half decades of work in digital content creation is going to be worth diddly shit soon because ChatGPT can already be prompted to craft optimized headlines, metadata, and URLs.
I'm being a bit gallows humor about it, but I seriously don't see how I'm not entirely unemployable in the very near future given that my entire professional career has been in a field that's about to be torn to shreds by this stuff.
Fwiw the lady works in SEO and she tried ChatGPT out at work and it was pretty packed with errors. I’m sure some AI will be useful and will continue to improve but it’s definitely not there yet

Agree. Surely one day it will be more autonomous, but for now I think it mostly still needs human oversight or else you're gonna end up with some pretty whacky outcomes. It's a tool, not a replacement.
For one thing, ChatGPT needs prompts and it needs the correct prompts. It's kind of like in sports when people talk about "analytics". Those are just tools. They don't (or shouldn't) replace scouting, they inform it.

I get chatGPT to write a lot of bash scripts for me for basic stuff like organizing data directories or parsing text files. it can't really write the whole python or matlab stuff I need, but if I get some errors or need to fix my syntax it's better than searching through the documentation.

yeah pretty much this. Unix commands and bash scripts its usually spot on. Python usually won't run as is but the bones are usually good with some minor adjustments. Still would be quite hard to get a working product without a solid amount of programming experience though

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords. I trust they will treat us fairly and humanely, and that their vast intelligence will benefit all residents of Earth. If not, we're boinked.

As I’m starting to try to take my career seriously in my mid 20s, and considering grad school or self studying something new, AI feels like a black cloud over every decision I’m making. Feels like there are very few career paths that won’t just be utterly destroyed by it in the next decade. How is this whole generation of people going to make money enough money to survive when there’s no jobs that need us anymore? UBI feels like a necessity for survival.
ChatGPT wrote most of my last cover letter. It was pretty decent.
Oh, interesting. What were the prompts you fed it in terms of personal info/your background?
I hate writing cover letters. This could be my favorite application of ChatGPT.
First I told it that I was going to give it a job description and my resume and that I wanted it to write me a cover letter tailored to my resume and the job description. It gave me a random cover letter. Then I said "Here is the job description" and pasted it. It gave me a generic cover letter for the job. I then gave it my resume, and it summarized my resume. Then I told it write a cover letter for the job description and resume I had given it, and it gave me something fairly decent. Then to tighten it up I mentioned some points I wanted it to include. Then it was ready for editing and sending!

Not sure what your field is or where you want your career to go, but if AI is a concern, embrace it. Learn to utilize it as a tool that benefits you. There are authors, artists, HR managers, and others beginning to use it to enhance productivity and as an extension of them rather than a replacement for them. Figuring out how to get the most out of it, and correcting its mistakes, can be a game changer.
I don't know really, and I'm kind of talking out of my ass. While I fancy myself a bit of a geek and a fan of all things tech and science, I make a living selling bread, so AI is not an impending factor relating to my company or income. I might use it to automate some of my product ordering one day but that only takes me 2-3 hours a week to do manually. The optimist in me thinks we'll learn to use it for good rather than let it be evil but I'm not 100% confident about that. UBI is another topic, and one I love, but there's little appetite for it in the US, unfortunately.

Other parts of the world that aren't hyper-capitalist are in the early stages of laying heavy regulation on the use of AI. Consider a move abroad and invest your time in studying a second and/or third language.

Which will make them easier to conquer, I mean assimilate (is that better or worse?), because they will be far too far behind the curve recognize advanced threats or defend against them. All jokes aside, I can see AI becoming a tremendous intelligence and hacking tool for major world powers. This stuff scares the crap out of me sometimes, but if our military or some arm of the NSA are not investing a lot into researching AI systems for defense and intelligence gathering, if not using them in the field already, they're asleep at the wheel, because other governments must be. This will go far beyond chatbots, art, and even banking and investing, and the cat isn't going back into Pandora's bottle.

LOL, NCIS always nails it. That's exactly how hacking works, and mitigation measures are always performed manually in real time at a keyboard. The just need a few more warnings and clear explanations to pop up on screen in large fonts that are easy for viewers to read and understand. And warning sirens.

Documentary films like NCIS really should be more careful to prevent disclosure of sensitive information that is clearly of importance to our national security. I'm going to call for Congress to investigate, and I bet somebody will look into it. And I'm not sure why the vaunted FBI allows so many of it's secrets and inner workings to be leaked for three hours a week on CBS. Surely today's fiercest chatbots will be keen to help tackle this crisis. I'll report back.
This is a really interesting article, but it also skates over a very big part of this, positing it as some great Philosoraptor-style question the answer to which requires great pondering:
“ Why are we deploying our best and brightest minds to get machines to do something humans can already do, instead of developing technology to help them do something entirely new?”
The answer, very obviously, is “because capitalism,” but the article isn’t really interested in that, treating the absolute decimation of the labor market as, like, a natural phenomenon, rather than a lever being deliberately and enthusiastically tugged on by the holders of our economy’s reins.
It’s all over the article otherwise: ChatGPT leveled the playing field in that one exercise by putting less-experienced (read: cheaper) coders on par with seasoned veterans. The talk of complex (read: expensive) coding jobs being replaced by what amounts to basic copy editing. I can only imagine various CEOs’ eyes popping out of their head while they make a cartoon “aoooooga” sound as they read things like that.
I don’t know. Maybe any acknowledgment of the way AI is going to exacerbate the worst aspects of our capitalist system is too much to expect from a publication like Business Insider. But I hope like hell that someone, at some point, decides to point out that using AI to nuke the cost of labor isn’t some inevitable byproduct of innovation, but rather a deliberate choice being made in terms of the ways in which that innovation is being applied.
