  Looks like we’re on the gently rising part of the AI vs. time graph. It’s going to explode, seemingly overnight. Not worried about machines literally kicking our ass, but the effects are going to be wild in 100,000 different ways.

  For us Gen Xers who straddled the digital divide, your turn Gen Z. God speed.

  The "fi" is for fiction, you know.

    Obviously. But it’s only fiction until it isn’t.

      And my grandmother doesn't have wheels until she does.

        …sure. But the chances your grandmother will suddenly sprout wheels are close to zero. The possibility of us all getting buttfucked by some AI with a god complex (other scenarios are available) is very real.

      No, it means some of it is nonsense, some of it is eerily accurate, and most of it is in between.

      Sci-fi has not been very accurate with AI… At all. Turns out, it’s naturally creative and empathetic, but struggles with math and precision

        Dude, this kind of AI is in it’s infancy. Give it a few years. You act like you’ve never come across a nascent technology before.

        Besides, it struggles with math? Pff, the base models, sure, but have you tried GPT4 with Code Interpreter? These kinds of problems are easily solved.
