Mean while every one is terrified that chatgpt is going to take their job. Ya we are a looooooooooong way off from that.
I've already seen many commercials using what is clearly AI generated art and voices (so not specifically ChatGPT). That is a job lost for a designer and an actor somewhere.
Not necessarily, in my work we made some videos using ai generated voices because it's availability for use made the production of the videos cheap and easy.
Otherwise we just wouldn't have made the videos at all because hiring someone to voice them would have been expensive.
Before AI there was no job, after AI there was more options to create things.
I mean that's capitalism step 1. A new thing comes around and is able to generate more income through giving actual value. But soon it will hit step 2 aka profits can only be increased by reducing costs. Then it's all the jobs going to ai
That’s just progress. People have been saying the same thing since the start of the Industrial Revolution. Every time we free up human capital by automating an old task, we find new things that only people can. Half of the children born today will be employed in jobs that don't yet exist.
I've been noticing that as well, freaky.
You mean the free version from a website.
Think about the powerful ones. Government ones. Wall Street ones. Etc.
I mean, it's certainly possible that the government/wall street/etc have a bigger, better, and more powerful AI model but I wouldn't exactly call it likely.
AI as a technology is still in it's infancy in many ways, I highly doubt the government has some crazy new Sci Fi engine capable of much more than "the free version from a website". Faster computation and better data processing? maybe. But the limits of what is technologically possible are still limits even if your employer is 3 letters.
There's jusy too many people that don't know about implementations with, for instance, LangChain.
Not ChatGPT, but other new AI stuff is likely to take a few jobs. Actors and voice-actors among other.
