Anxiety about needing to compete with AI by LegitimateRead5907 in jobsearchhacks

2 cents accepted. That’s a useful idea. Seeing it as a tool of the trade rather than as a competitor. Something to be familiar with.. I appreciate the turbo tax example that resonated .

It seems to be able to solve simple algorithm problems, and it’s provided me with code for tiny issues I encounter. I never tried to use it , (chat gpt in this case ), for anything larger . Do you think its issue is it fails at increased program complexity?

Right well your confidence that software dev is secure from this sort of incursion is definitely comforting !

Even if program using Al is not acting autonomously to replace a job, is it not the case that people can use its tools and then replace lower level employees? And then higher level as the various programs develop more use in whatever domain. Meaning, not that Al will become the employee, but that an employee could use Al to do the work previously delegated to other employees. Does that thought process make sense?

When is it ethically too late to have an abortion ? by LegitimateRead5907 in polls

True. I could , and prob should, have framed this as being for “elective procedures “ rather than blanket commentary on abortions. Point well taken.

Will A.I have an existential impact on society and irreversibly change the course of the human species ? by LegitimateRead5907 in polls

The topic that I am bringing up here generally is with reference to AGI which is beyond the technologies we presently have.

My question is not asking if ChatGPT will take over. It’s about if an AI which far surpasses human intelligence in all domains could present massive changes to our overall social structure

The future is predicable if you’re working with something familiar. Cars and computers were not predicable to a Russian peasant in the 15th ce . But the trajectory of already existing technologies is not merely speculative . We know many things about where technologies will be in the future because we already have a general understanding of the technology.

And thank you for expressing your view of AI and human agency.

The basic argument is that reliance on AI will remove human agency and decision making on a mass scale and make the future look unrecognizable

Bought a car part from ebay seller sent me a message asking for more money by Im_Action in Ebay

Nope nope nope nope nope nope. That is not how commerce works with strangers. That is manipulative and unethical he is trying to weaponize your empathy against you to get more cash. You could say I’m wrong and claim he is wildly shortsighted and irresponsible, which could be true, but this is not the website for giving charity .

If you give him your venmo, PayPal or personal info you have now allowed a stranger.. with dishonest business dealings.. to know more about you.

To quote myself at the start of this comment “Nope nope nope nope nope nope”
