All those still posting about how stupid AI can be, you'd best hang on to your hats ...

This is all a bit frightening.  Have none of these people seen Terminator.

AI is a logical extension of everything that's gone before. Doesn't make it right. We are storing up a lot of "Big Brother" type trouble for future generations.

What with the depletion of natural resources, pollution and climate change, there probably won't be many more future generations so we've got nothing to worry about 🙃🙃🙃

Only when they’ve had to hand over their clothes, boots and motorcycles will they learn.

My God I hate all this so much.

. . . .  and don't forget World Wars 3 and 4. . . .  

 

A depressing thought, but you are probably right. Never underestimate the human race's ability to screw up and s**t in their own nest.

There will have to be restrictions put onto the type of content it can produce. Or some kind of digital watermark put into all video content in order for anything to be shared.

 

Looking at the drone attacks on Russia at the weekend, AI is the least of our worries. Imagine a lorry driving into central London on a busy day.

Google IRA bomb attacks in London.

We don't have to imagine anything.

Do you think that has been flagged?

Could I now be on a watchlist?

On the other hand, there's always an antidote:

I always ignore those AI overviews as they are invariably utter nonsense. That is a very good example!

I wholeheartedly agree. There's nothing about AI that interests me in the slightest, especially regarding art. It's a complete oxymoron. 

[Bilbo]

Fascinating and terrifying at the same time.

 

Cheapens everything, doesn't it?

They flew 117 drones into an airbase and systematically targeted and destroyed specific individual planes carrying cruise missiles. Reportedly 34% of Russia's cruise missile capability was lost in that one attack.

 

That's not setting off a bomb and hoping you do a load of damage and scare people.

 

And while those drones were each piloted by an individual operator back home in Ukraine, you can bet there's a ton of AI being used to assist and identify targets.

I guess a ton a bass lines I play are influenced by something I've already heard somewhere, I wonder what creativity AI will bring to the world of requirement for session players.

Ironic that business is pushing AI and for users to learn it when one day, it will replace them and their jobs.

Farm mechanisation made agricultural labourers redundant. IT did the same for the thousands employed in typing pools. Factory robots are rapidly replacing manual manufacturing jobs. Supermarkets and self-service took away most commercial staff needs. Driverless cars will soon make taxi and bus operations automatic. This 'ere A.I. is set to push intellectual and management out of work. It seems that the future is bright for everyone, with all of their time free to enjoy all the leisure time they'll have, from the cradle to the grave. We'll all be sharing the immense wealth this 'progress' is generating, won't we..! Won't we..? No, seriously; we will, won't we..? Please..?

You forget to include the internet. Half the shops in our town are empty.

The Rise of the Machines is already here. So far it's military targets. If someone wanted to remove specific people en masse, quickly, from the population without collateral or infrastructure dammage. They already can.

. . . . and driverless trucks are being tested in Texas right now. The aim is to replace all motorway truck drivers in the USA with software. That’s a million or so jobs that will have to be found for those guys!

They could become ambulance drivers picking up all the people knocked down by driverless trucks.
