Here I go writing about something I have only passing knowledge of. Maybe AI, with its access to huge data basses could do a better job?
I just read an article about how AI won’t replace writers and artists -or anyone else creative for that matter. I’m not so sure.
Will the quality be anything like Shakespeare? I doubt it. However, most of what’s created by flesh and blood humans is not that good. The big question is: will AI be good enough for most people most of the time?
It might be. I’m just not sure. Is factory built furniture as good as furniture built by a skilled craftsman? Of course not, but the vast majority of people have factory furniture as it’s good enough. Who’s got the piles of money for a real artist? AI produced art just might be good enough for most.
Another thing to consider is that we are really in the early days of AI. Early cars didn’t look like a good replacement for horses. That changed. Maybe future AI will be so far ahead of humans that we’ll be a horse trying to catch a race car.
It can be kinda scary to think where all this could be going. Maybe humans will be stuck with the crappy jobs that artificial intelligences will be too smart to do.

Too many humans are already stuck with crappy jobs. I write for a living and AI hasn't affected me negatively yet. On the contrary, I just submitted a piece about ... AI ... and I will be paid for the commentary that will be almost obsolete by the time it is published. Game the system.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Game the system indeed!
DeleteAI in the form of chatGPT has already began to become a nuisance for teachers thinking we are teaching students the proper skills for writing, and scientific investigation. It's getting to the point where we are forced to restrict the pool of sources as a double check. However doing that is contrary to real scientific exploration. Here's the check, if it's to good to be written by average students it's probably AI.
