Are you trashing the whole article because the journalist isn't an IT expert, or did you miss that a big chunk is simply reporting the views of Matt Welsh (former Professor of Computing at Harvard & currently CEO of an AI start-up). Welsh's full "End of Programming" article for the ACM...
AI can help people with basic software engineering skills develop applications far beyond their ability (already here with low/no code products such as Power Apps not even labelled as AI).
Actually knowing how to code will soon be obsolete in many situations, because it's possible to describe...
I then asked "Repeat, though this time giving emphasis to players known for high levels of skill. I want this team to have FLAIR!"
Emphasizing skill and flair, we could have a more attack-minded Brighton & Hove Albion all-time best XI that might look like this:
Formation: 4-3-3 (With a focus...
That's from the free version right?
v4 fares better:
Selecting an all-time best starting eleven for a football team like Brighton & Hove Albion is challenging and subjective as it depends on individual's preferences and knowledge. Furthermore, it's important to remember that Brighton have a...
Maybe, but the problems arise if/when there are too few jobs that need a human compared to the number of humans that need a job...
As usual, it would be the poorest in society that would suffer the most (but at least they'd have more leisure time to contemplate their lack of opportunity and...
Now there's something I would get behind, whether or not the catalyst is AI.
Will any political party have the cojones to stick it in their manifesto...?
A blog post by someone at a brand agency outlining the chat they've had in the office about AI (seemingly the free version of chatGPT) and its influence isn't exactly powerful stuff. It's sandwiched between "The Fear of Change" and "Fancy Food Show 2022"
A quick answer is to not think of it as...
There will always be some people over-egging the pudding and the reality is that what does happen will be somewhere between nothing much and complete annihilation of the human race. I don't think we'll get the latter, but I think you're wrong about it being the former. I also think your opinion...
I guess you didn't read my whole post?
I sense you're being deliberately obtuse on this topic.
Are you in a bit of a general funk (tired maybe?), or just determined to bury your head in the sand on this?
Here's just one example. AI has been integrated into Photoshop which will save experienced Photoshop users a LOT of time (and/or improve the quality of their work). It will also make inexperienced users of Photoshop able to manipulate/create images that previously they would need to ask (/pay)...
This is going to be the crux of it with AI too. The potential benefits are huge, but there is also great potential for it to do harm.
Sadly as a species, our record for this kind of thing isn't great.
The speed of development for the technology itself and its practical applications has...
Oh Clampy, I think you are in for a BIG surprise and this post will not age well.
You are usually an advocate of the importance of research and facts when it comes to posters making bold statements, so I suggest you take a bit of your own advice.
Lots of lawyers/legal staff too.
Feed a big law firm's knowledge (already digitised) into the training data of a LLM and it will be able to replace the work of whole swathes of junior lawyers and support staff (the first part is already happening - see chatGPT-based Harvey at Allen & Overy)
