Comment on Coca-Cola's New AI-Generated Soda Flavor Falls Flat
BolexForSoup@kbin.social 1 year agoI'm not really interesting in debating the finer nuances of the term "die" lol if that's your definition then sure that sounds like a reasonable stance, no argument here

I don’t think it’s going to end up impacting most industries all that much. Low end call centers will probably be impacted, but they were already being displaced by automated call trees and such even before this latest fad. At some point trucking will be displaced by self driving trucks, but that tech is looking to be further off than it initially seemed as well thanks in part to some pretty high profile accidents and renewed scrutiny from various governments. Beyond that the impact in other industries is looking to be fairly minimal. You’ll see smarter tools being rolled out to let people do the things they were already doing faster, but just like the “magic clone” tool in Photoshop while it will make some tedious time consuming activities much faster, it won’t really fundamentally change things.
Honestly the biggest impact is most likely to be on crime, with these various tools being leveraged by criminals to make increasingly convincing scams, phishing attacks, and even worse things.

In biology we've been using machine learning for a long time now so the AI super hype out there is pretty funny to me. It's for sure useful with stuff like predicting protein folding and analyzing genes and stuff, but it's all hyper-specific stuff just like it has its always been. Good for removing tedium for sure as its the reason we can even know the human genome because it would take literally forever to sequence it without modern tech, which we did in the in the 90s and finished in 2003.

As someone in the film industry I can assure you it is impacting at least a few industries lol but I never said "most" anyway so it's kind of a moot point.
