The AI dooooooom thread

[Sheilbh]

Incidentally posted it in the UK thread but I thought this Martin Wolf-Paul Krugman exchange was very interesting (and I am so much a literate consumer of information I'm sharing the transcript - because I've not even watched the YouTube ):

Edit: And I think they are right and it's great that they are admitting this level of uncertainty around it all which is very much where I am.

I think non slop human content will not be replaced.  Unless AI gets as good as humans at creating content.

Non-slop is already being replaced to some degree: concept art, fiction, music, graphic design, photography. I suppose we can use definitions of the terms "slop" or "replaced" to make it not the case, but by the definitions that make sense to me it's already happened.

That said, I appreciate your faith in the irreplaceability of the human creative impulse and hope you're correct.

Of course we're getting closer to that classic film "Stealth"...

Oh, Northrop Grumman found a company to pawn the X-47 UCAS off on.
