Should we / I worry about AI "taking over the world "?
-
It was asked recently if the need for software developers would ever go away. After some debate 2 schools of thought emerged. The 1st group thought that artificial intelligence would supplant developers and that project managers and sales & marketing would become the more important fields in software. The 2nd Group (consisting mostly of software developers) couldn't articulate a coherent response - they were laughing too hard.
Neither group is entirely right but Group 1 is nearest the mark. My prediction: Within 50 years (probably a bit less) a LARGE percentage of today's software development jobs will be gone. A few "wizards" will remain to mind the AI but the mundane stuff that the vast majority of today's devs do will be gone. That being said - project managers and sales/marketing drones will also be gone. The CEOs will deal directly with the wizards.

I wonder if there's a stupid gene or does it take practice? :)

As a serious reply, I think neither - it's a complex problem of culture, education, media (news and social), environmental factors, prenatal care, nutrition, economic situation, and so forth, in no particular order. The sad thing is, all of those factors could be addressed at least to the extent that infants => children => adults could at least have a decent opportunity in life. But I'm biased in my views of the sad situation most kids are dealing with, so take all that with the due amount of sodium intake.

An SVG Analog ClockI totally agree. I won't go into any more, it would probably start a big hullabaloo! The apply above was tongue in cheek...so to speak!

I would not - here is AI "corollary" on some of the "answers" I have received over the years,,,'' The "AI answer " is "missing " why would you want to do that ?"...'' and besides - what does AI knows about "GIGO" ?
It’s difficult to say what’s wrong with the code without more context. Can you provide more information about what the code is supposed to do and what isn’t working as expected? Also, is this the entire code or just a part of it?

You should ask ChapGPT to do the project management for you and see how it goes :laugh:

The risk is not AI taking over the world. The risk is people actively trying to use it to assert dominance. As part of the Russian-Chinese trade agreement, for example, Russia proposes 'their' cutting edge AI research is made available to China. Thing is, Russia doesn't do a whole lot of original research in the area, but they do actively encourage certain groups loosely-affiliated with them to experiment and innovate in that area, with no oversight. So basically, it matters that we act responsibly, but more importantly, we need to prepare and act pro-actively to detect and actively counter active threats. If one group creates a malicious AI, you basically need a more advanced and specialized AI system to actively counter that threat. GPT suggests, beyond educating people to be responsible (not seeing that happen soon), to increase research pace toward early detecting systems and monitoring systems. Since we build GPT explicitly to help us and foster good relationships, it will do just that. Let's not be blind toward projects that are run with the sole purpose of creating threats, and actively prepare for them and think about how to counter them. We still have the luxury of time at this point, let's not waste it, and keep ahead of the curve.

They can't do a worse job than humans have been doing for the last 2000 years. :laugh: :laugh:

I'm not afraid on them taking over the world, I'm afraid that they'll turn out like the ones in 'The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy' and they'll be insistently and annoyingly 'helpful', whether you like it or not.[

Since that's the gist of about 80% of the responses to questions in QA, I'm not sure you're making the point you think you are.
Keep Calm and Carry On
Or it emphasizes his point -- there is zero "intelligence" in AI, it's just a monkey learning colors and passing matching blocks. When I execute a search, I must review the answers, as some are obviously wrong (for my need), so I have to exert myself to locate the most correct answer(s) I can. The biggest danger of so-called AI is that people will begin to trust it, when it's just a monkey doing color matching. "Training" reduces the number of obviously wrong answers, and possibly increases the number of "may be correct" answers. Intelligence and experience is required to determine the validity, and AI does not have that.

I read somewhere from a time traveler that an AI would be running the world at some point. People have found that an AI does a much better and fairer job than politicians.

Should anybody worry about AI "taking over the world" in the next few years? No. Should anybody be concerned about the future of their jobs specifically and society generally as AI becomes more robust in the future? Yes. Not sure why so many struggle with this... like everything else in technology - AI will continue to get more functional with every advancement.

Future being what exactly? Development of "AI" started in the 1950s. Myself I am still waiting for that self driving car and the endless parade of software that claims it will make developers obsolete to become more "robust".

So we should focus on that one AI versus the potential millions of people around the world that continuously seek active harm through technology?

To be fair there is stupidity, ignorance and foolishness. And then those are impacted by other factors like arrogance, elitism, laziness, etc.
Since I posted th4e message I started reading "How the mind works" by Pinker and it goes into a lot of the reasons why people act the way they do. Interesting read.
