If you have a functional AI that delivers on the majority of what AI companies promise, can you explain why you would not be better off asking it what to do in most cases? It's certainly possible, and even likely, that AI companies will fail to deliver, but let's assume for a moment that they don't crash and burn. | | |
| ▲ | jackie293746 a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I am so confused by this. Why does the existence of an AI that can tell you what to do mean that knowledge is useless? This is like saying teaching calculus to children is useless because every integral they can solve has been solvable by WolframAlpha since 2009. Why bother learning drawing at all, if an AI can draw better than you? Presumably because you, yourself, want to draw. | | |
| ▲ | 0c3ca83 14 hours ago | parent [-] | | A lot of people want to draw because they enjoy it, but they also enjoy showing it to others and seeing them enjoy it. AI art currently mostly sucks, but if we solve that, there's an infinite supply of art that will be more to your friends taste than anything you want produce. And as to Wolfram alpha: people here, on this site, argue that mental math is unnecessary because of calculators. | | |
| ▲ | jackie293746 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | AI art doesn't mostly suck lmao what are you on about? I draw myself. AI draws way better than me and will continue to draw way better than I do. I still go to live figure drawing sessions every other week and show people my work and they show me theirs and share criticism. I don't show my work to friends, it's mostly just to other artists. These people, like you, are not the sharpest tools in the shed. |

| ▲ | 0c3ca83 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | AI is starting to outdo humans at forecasting events and trends. If you run a hedge fund, for example, and you have an AI that makes decisions that lead to 10% better returns, would you rely on your brain? What about a clothing company following fashion trends? A military predicting troop movement? As long as there's an element of competition, you need to take advantage and remove the human from the loop if they're the bottleneck. Add to that the tendency of people to take the solution that's easy in the moment, and not the long term best option, and yes, I think a lot of people will outsource their thinking. As for what makes life worth living? Enriching the wealthy, if you look at the actions if the tech industry. The world we're heading to seems like a hell. | | |
| ▲ | guitarlimeo 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | Ah I failed to notice that we were talking about decisions on a company level. Sure, it will devolve into AI vs AI. > Add to that the tendency of people to take the solution that's easy in the moment, and not the long term best option, and yes, I think a lot of people will outsource their thinking. Hmm I don't agree with this, many people will want to live instead of longevitymaxxing like Bryan Johnson. > The world we're heading to seems like a hell. We agree. | | |
| ▲ | 0c3ca83 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think any competitive or critical life decision is likely devolve to AI. |
