I'm a noted bear on *this* particular flavor of AI and this AI bubble (while noting that AI is a transformational technology which will change everything we have known about labor, work, social, etc. in the future).
That said I was listening to one of the world's prominent quants talking about pod shops and hedge funds and we all know they are super advanced on all things technology to make a buck, and he made the point in a way that I've been thinking about it: today AI is not ready to take over. It's only synthesizing words and videos and text and images that man has already created for it to process (upon processing). But one day, in a few years even, maybe? WIth the advent of the sensory stuff (Meta glasses) and other stuff that will come (touch, taste, tactiles, etc.). The complexity of human sensing and consuming will get closer to what a machine can also consume and sense.
It will be an AI version of the meme "The Yellowstone Park Ranger has noted there is a large overlap between the smartest bear and the dumbest human, upon trying to create a bear-proof trash can".
The overlap between the dumbest person and the smartest machine COULD be a critical mass. And then maybe there is a tipping point.
And then what to do about the useless eaters?
Saw this and it makes one think:
