  1. Yeah my boomer dad insists that this has happened before... it's just the latest round of automation blah blah and people will create jobs that don't exist yet. Trouble is, I can't think of any job a human can do that an AI (coupled with robotics) can't eventually replace. Like UEG said, most people don't understand what's happening.

  2. I haven't played that game. How do they keep the AI from just taking over the whole web?

  3.  @johntowers1213  Normally I wouldn't be "that guy". I don't usually point it out because I'm sympathetic that people have all kinds legitimate reasons for bad spelling... second language, dyslexia, low IQ... But when you're making it your raison d'être to poke snooty comments about others' debating skills, you'd better first make sure the ground under your own feet is rock solid.

  4. AutoGPT feels like it could be the virtual paper clip replicator. Turning every byte of online data into regurgitated spam.

  5. Imagine social contagions and online cults entirely generated by AI with millions of followers. If there's anything the internet has taught us, it's that humanity is basically an army of drones ready to be weaponized by anyone or anything with the means to do so.

  6.  @nerychristian  My understanding is that AIs have been doing this for many years. What I fear most is an internet in which absolutely nothing can be trusted, which is 99.99% AI generated spam. The scary thing is that a significant portion of humanity won't care. I can only see insanity resulting as AI takes the kind of social and cultural manipulation that already happens online and multiplies it exponentially.

  7. Well since an AI is not conscious, it has no concept of the passage of time. 2 nanoseconds or 2000 years are exactly the same.

  8. I predict a mass movement of modern day luddites, who reject the online world for this reason. The internet is going to become basically useless for anyone who isn't insane.

  9. I did a lot of work to try and get rid of Youtube ads. I still get them, but now they are all Dutch, which I find a lot less annoying and offensive than the American ones, so I'm content.

  10. I loved the internet in those days.

  11.  @johntowers1213  Oh John... They're... There... Their... Run your post through a spellcheck AI before you post your witty and erudite critiques of others' opinions and more people may take you seriously, dear boy.

  12. I'd like to think this will break the internet as it becomes effectively useless for telling you what's real. But then I realise there are millions, if not billions, of people who just won't care.
