Will AI kill the fastlane dream?

[Skroob]

Think I can hire a rapper on fiver for $5 to make this the new intro song for KKRS?

I know for a fact that you can. I know someone who did exactly this for his company.

I want to bring a more optimistic perspective, I think this AI wave if it continues improving at the rate it has been can be very beneficial for society. Think of all of the possibilities AI helping to cure diseases, inventions to stop climate change, etc.

Sure if you are a white collar worker then it might hamper your ability to make a living but us humans are very adaptable we will find a way to survive and thrive. Also since you are in this forum and already aware of what this AI can do you are in a better spot than most people.

 

[Funky Monkey]

what is the point of grinding yourself down to a nub to hustle to reach the 'fastlane' when it's very very likely that the model it's predicated on will no longer be relevant in 5-7 years? What's the point of acquiring greater than average wealth when it will eventually be redistributed?

So you can be in a position of advantage. If your rich worse case scenario is you get wealth distribution. Best case is you get the lastest greatest AI to do your bidding. Rather than worry about what might happen focus on today.

 

[Gabo96]

Great thread.

Of course discussing all of this is depressive and anxiety inducing. But let's not evade reality.

I think that if we hit the point where AI gets exponentially/recursively better, everything, every paradigm will cease to have meaning. The fastlane dream will be the least important loss really.

Will private property or wealth inequality or any of that be of any relevance in an era of extreme abundance? (a super intelligent AI will be able to improve our material conditions to unimaginable levels) It's like the saying that the average person with a smartphone has access to more riches than a king in the past.

If AI can market for AI, produce for AI, etc, can we really talk about a government using AI? If AI does all the thinking, it will be AI governing at that point.

At this point I really 'hope' for one of these 3 scenarios:

1. Human authorities putting a stop to all further developments on AI, all at the same time in a coordinated effort.
2. AI somehow reaching a 'hard limit' where it doesn't improve exponentially forever and/or isn't able to fully replicate some human capabilities. We may face a future where AI is dominant but AI still 'needs us' or at least some of us, or achieves better outcomes by interacting with us.
3. We reach an AGI and it's 'benevolent' and it allows us or some of us to live as we're living right now, in 'colonies' that are isolated from the AI dominated future, sort of like we have protected areas for the preservation of certain species.

In any of those cases I think it would be useful to develop the skills that make you a fully functional human, be it in dating/relationships or work/entrepreneurship.

Only God knows whether this already crazy world is gonna turn into a pandemonium or not...

My advice is to just embrace it.

resistance is absolutely futile and AI will be a major part of human life whether you like it or not. the internet, the smart phone, this is the next disruptor.

No. It won’t.

The solution will very likely be some form of UBI.

The solution is communism. Not the china kind which is more like socialism nowadays, but true communism, like the North Korea kind. Everyone works and receives a fixed $ of salary a month. Properties are distributed equally.

I've heard lot's of people say 'work on human to human' businesses where you need a human touch. It's an obvious choice but in my opinion a deeply flawed one. Why on earth would we want human nurses or psychologists or personal trainers?

Correct. I dislike having to interact with a human at restaurants or any place that requires service staff. I much rather go to a kiosk like the kind in McDonald's now, interact and press on the screen user interface. No need to deal with staff that show me all kinds of expressions, from sneers to sour faces to impatient attitudes. Screw these guys. Nurses must go too. Have bad experiences with many of them. Nasty and arrogant.

I love AI, and if one day we can have chips planted in us (removable, hopefully), I would consider signing up. Like, WHERE'S THE EMAIL SIGNUP FORM ALREADY??!!!!!!

Hi,

AI is an element that will standardize processes. It will make them easier. Within (almost) anyone’s reach.

This means that, even more, anyone can be perceived as experts, on material created by an AI.

Those who have no idea how to create an app will suddenly become incredibly good, thanks to codes generated by an AI.

It will increase competition, no doubt. On some sectors at least.

As in sport, to stand out you will need, even more than that, hard work, dedication and proper processes. That you will have to implement and put into practice. There is no escape from this.

I practice triathlon for years. Over the years the tools available have become more and more advanced. Bicycles increasingly lighter and faster. Meters for everything. You can control pretty much everything about your body.

Yet, the person always makes the difference.

As I wrote on another thread (here), I think it will allow us to make a difference as human beings. Capable of empathy, intuition, understanding.

In the last few decades, we have been too much into technology. Social media addicts. We’d rather write in a chat room than face-to-face with someone.

We’re getting further and further apart.

But the human being is a social animal. By nature. In DNA.

It may be practical, at first, to delegate to an AI. But in the long run, especially in the most complex situations, a human being will want to interact with another human being.

It is nature. And nature does not change it.

Will copywriters disappear? Probably. But copywriters as we understand them today: No more sales letter miles. No sales letters written and launched.

I see it from a different point of view: it will give us more time to think. And what will make the difference is our ability to think.

Rather, a more elaborate process, which gives the user the opportunity to interact with a company and actively understand if the product or service is right for him.

But, and I am 100% convinced, the human component will remain fundamental.

Indeed, it will become even more essential to make ourselves known as people, to show that we are real people and truly interested in the good of others.

Soon, any content you read, you’ll ask yourself: but was it written by an AI? Will it be true? Can I trust it?

It will increase the rate of distrust. And the only way to lower distrust is to interact with people.

I say this as an Italian. Because we are one of the most distrustful peoples in the world.

And, for us Italians, there is nothing safer than looking in the face the person we buy from, and paying for it in cash (then forget the implications of tax edging, which would deserve a separate post).

Ultimately: improve your communication. Improve yourself, your communication skills. It is the key that will allow you to make a difference.

This is just me riffing but hear me out.

To anyone with a fig of foresight it's pretty obvious AI will very soon shatter existing paradigms of work, business models and very likely capitalism as we know it.

Whether or not GPT-4 is already exhibiting signs of AGI (which this early on in the piece is insane) is besides the point. It's bound to happen in the 5 or 6 release or some time soon. As soon as the models become recursive and self-refining we're going to have a positive feedback loop with very very fast AI improvements.

Initially people will say 'it makes me so much more productive' but paradigms like this will only last a few months. Check our google or microsoft's upcoming AI business offerings with their email summaries and what not, it's just AI talking to AI and soon it will be. Businesses will just cut out the middleman (workers) and have various AI talking to each other to solve business problems. AI will market to AI, sell to AI and buy from AI.

These improvements will lead to massive massive job cuts and layoffs. Millions of people of every stripe and profession, surgeons, lawyers, corporate professionals, drivers, labourer's – once robotics is combined with AGI AI models it's all over. I anticipate with us hitting the exponential curve now or very soon we'll reach a tipping point in the next 5-7 years and governments will be forced to step in or face social disintegration and collapse.

The solution will very likely be some form of UBI. This solution in itself will create a massive problem. With many many people not working and only receiving a UBI, business owners and people who already own assets will only get richer due to the efficiencies AI will create. Wealth gaps will rapidly increase to the point of being unsustainable. Governments again will be forced to step in and potentially 'level the playing field' and garnish or confiscate the wealth of people x% greater than the average and redistribute it. In 10 years you won't be allowed to be X amount richer than the societal average there's just no way it'll slide with the general populace. You can't have a society with AI run business owning trillionaires making up 0.00001% of your population and have the rest of your population making a UBI of$1000 a week.

I've heard lot's of people say 'work on human to human' businesses where you need a human touch. It's an obvious choice but in my opinion a deeply flawed one. Why on earth would we want human nurses or psychologists or personal trainers? Being human means you're shitty sometimes, you have bad days, you're not at you're best, you don't rock up to work sometimes. Do you want to be trained or cared for by that or a sunny, cheerful, engaging entity that brings the best out in you and gives you impeccable care 100% of the time? We only use human to human now because it's all we have.

AI will also profoundly affect the fabric of society such as birth rates. Why would any lonely, disaffected man or woman participate in the shitshow that is the dating pool when in five years they'll have a physically perfect, caring and loving physical sythentic partner that is perfectly tailored to them and their foibles and personality that also never complains about housework and makes love like a god. Why would anyone date real people? Talk to GPT-4 for an hour and you'll quickly see yourself anthropomorphizing it and building an emotional connection, wait until you can buy a perfect 10 with the face and personality of an angel and tell me if you'd rather that or your pissy, past-their-prime husband or wife.

I'm rambling and being a little pessimistic but the gist of what I'm saying is, what is the point of grinding yourself down to a nub to hustle to reach the 'fastlane' when it's very very likely that the model it's predicated on will no longer be relevant in 5-7 years? What's the point of acquiring greater than average wealth when it will eventually be redistributed?

Maybe I'm still processing the quantum leaps in AI this year but at the moment if I run the tape on any idea 5-7 years AGI makes it redundant and pointless.

In my opinion, it's just a tool.

Heck it can accelerate your fastlane dream.

Here's a lesson in economics.

Higher Efficiency = Drives Cost of Goods Down
Cost Down = Sales Prices Down
Everything "on Sale" = More People Buy since everything's cheaper
More People Buy = More Non-AI Hires to Support Demand

Every time there's a technological revolution, demand for goods skyrocket.
That's because they are now accessible to most people.

- Clothes were made by hand and expensive before the cotton gin and mass textile production.
- Automobiles were only for the wealthy before factories and the division of labor made it affordable.
- AI may have the same effects of electricity, since its applications are broad and powerful.

Want to make a rap about it @Kak?

I think as long as there is change, there are opportunities. Also, I don't quite agree AGI could become God like and omniscient. Black swans can appear at any time and nothing, not even AGI, can predict what the future will hold especially in a time of rapid change. There are just too many unknowns and variables. I think it doesn't really help to worry about it in the moment.

 

[AceVentures]

Solving problems is a process, not a state.

AI will change the state of things, sure, but problem solving remains as a process now as well as into the future.

If you worry AI will eliminate the problem solving process, you are misunderstanding your role as an entrepreneur. You're thinking about success as a singular event, and you're giving the achievement of that state to AI.

Focus on solving problems today, and continue doing that every day. The need to solve problems will never cease, the same way the earth doesn't suddenly stop turning, and the seasons don't suddenly stop changing.

I use AI hourly, im a software engineer and i want to develop more AI solutions, so im studying it a lot , and i will tell you this straight up it's not that advanced yet .
So don't worry, there is a lot of speculations but not a lot to worry about yet

That's my take, I work in tech as well, I think at the current stage it just does what a politician or an used car salesman right now, excellent at making at inaccurate stuff in a pinch.

Sorry I am into this field and there is no chance that AGI will be there in 5-7 years, there's not enough compute and power to do that. The best that can happen in 5-7 years is a internet bot that has a Average human like IQ and abilities but super fast and can do hella things.

 

[Djo]

I don't know what you guys think about this but in my opinion brands will not be negatively affected by AI. It can replace businesses based on programming, copywriting etc... But I don't think that it will ever replace a company like Nike or Coca-cola. So can we say trying to build a brand is the best business to do with this AI revolution?

New trends and technology creates new opportunities...

For example:

 

[TyFrom99]

Anecdotally I know 2 freelance writers that are considering getting 9 to 5's because they have had such a decrease in work since GPT.

One focuses on articles related to animals, pet care etc. The other is a music blog writer, conducts artist interviews etc.

No matter how advanced AI is, it will always be that, Artificial. Unless we can figure out the undiscovered mysteries about how our bodies and brains work, we can never create something that has critical thinking. Other animals may have larger brains than use, or be more intelligent. But humans have something special, a need to advance and progress, to find meaning.

An ant doesn't question why it is digging an anthill, and beaver never questions why i it builds a dam, but humans do. An AI can't catch itself in errors of thinking, unless an outside force tells it is wrong. For example, if a self-driving car kills somebody, or an AI gives an incorrect answer, we figure out why it is wrong and fix it. AI can't do that by itself.

AI is a tool, like ATMs, self-driving cars, or assembly robots. It may replace menial task, but in turn, offers us opportunity to perform creative tasks.

AI can't come up with original work the way humans can. It only repeats what it is told, and it may be told trillions of pieces of data, but can't create it's own.

I think this mindset is a little misguided. The reason being, there are tons of writers right now who probably aren't great at their jobs being weeded out, true. But the bigger picture is with tools like Adobe Firefly, Adobe Photoshop's AI implementation etc. the majority of visual artists, graphic designers etc will have a harder time finding work.

What could take a team of 10 people to accomplished can now be accomplished by 1~2. There's a limited amount of jobs in the arts and I think we're beginning to see the signs of this becoming a real issue. You can't simply chalk it up to "they're bad at their jobs" when it's much more complex than that.

Not to mention that many companies don't mind getting 80% quality when they can save 750% on employee salaries etc. The trade-off is worth it. It's definitely going to shrink the jobs available. The pie WILL get smaller.

I think we're saying the same thing.

I say most people aren't great at what they do. You say most people will have a harder time finding work because AI can take most of the workload (i.e. it performs equally, if not better, than 8 people in this scenario).

Where humans outperform AI, companies choose humans. Where AI outperforms humans, companies choose AI. Where both are needed, companies choose both.

All of this is only a problem for average and below-average workers. Great writers, visual artists, graphic designers, etc. aren't limited by a decreasing job market. To be great requires not only adaption but innovation. People who adapt and innovate have no problem finding work or creating it.
