Praise the all and mighty. Dude what do you work on that you think is important and or can't be done by AI?

I bet he can drive a car.

Sure, though unfortunately it's increasingly hard to get paid (or paid much...) to drive a car. I do think it's striking that AI looks well-suited for lots of desk jobs, but has a ways to go to tackle unskilled / semi-skilled labor.

Raise kids, love

Judging by the divorce rate and how many grow up traumatized or develop a disorder that relies on traumatic events to have occurred... not entirely sure humans are doing a great job at either of those two tasks. Maybe AI will uphold greater standards of raising kids, like not physically abusing them as a form of "discipline".

For AIs like ChatGPT, create something new

Write an AI ?

I for one work in aerospace software. Even if I could get an AI tool to generate usable code in this domain for me, it would have to be thoroughly checked. Between defining the requirements precisely enough and checking the output thoroughly enough, I'm not really anticipating AI tools supplanting that many humans here.

Denial

Actually I think the 'thrown' account makes a fair criticism of the AFP writer bringing AGI into the discussion at this point.. The path to there from here is tenuous at best (though a very worthwhile one to discuss IMHO), the points made in the article sans the AGI red herring are actually a good summary of where we are, so, while 'denial' might be a bit much, all of the issues raised (again without regard to AGI) are certainly real and relevant..

...said the crypto bros. Look how well that played out.

That’s more because the entire industry was a giant pump and dump. And to be fair we have yet to see ChatGPT produce a real good scam.

Sorry to hear your job is so simple it can be automated away, but for the rest of us there's no big danger.

While I am not worried about my situation (and I expect most HN readers will not be either) anyone familiar with the types of corporate thinking behind business process re-engineering or digital transformation will see the streamlining and redesign potential coming online near term.. Couple that with the long term shifts in work patterns accelerated by the pandemic and with the shifts in capital markets that are starting now and will play out over the likely deployments of the next few generations of generative model based systems and there seems to be a lot of downsizing potential throughout large sectors of current business employment.

Please chatGPT, write an OS, a spreadsheet and a word processor. Bug free btw. Now Microsoft has no business ? People realize it’s not that easy right ?

ChatGPT can do all of those things the same way it responds to prompts: by stealing the answers from other people.

If ChatGPT weren't just remixing and regurgitating billions of hours of work by other people, it would be unimpressive.

Actually this AI should be called « synthesized work of human intelligence ». Because that’s all that it is. It’s created by us, feed by our intelligence and knowledge and is « usable » by our specie only and has no meaning by itself. So it’s just like any other powerful tool, if should be regulated asap.

What do you do for work?

Perhaps GPT can help us detect meaningless click bait.
