It's fairly shit at limericks, if this is anything to go by...  Amended, by me There once was a man with hifi, Whose speakers were really quite fly, He cranked up the bass, Which he thought sounded "ace" But his neighbors all started to cry. As I said, I may be slower, but I'm more accurate. At least mine rhymes, |

I'm surprised that you all can't see the bigger picture. This is just the first iteration. Compare it to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum - and then compare that to today's quantum efforts. And then consider it's impact on daily life. On the news right now concerns at the rapid development of AI highlighted. A couple of crude, and not so crude examples of what's possible, now:

I listened to three or four of those McCartney fakes and wasn't overly impressed. You are right though, this is only the beginning. It's a bit like how Photoshopping still images has progressed, if that's the right word, to deepfake videos. I fear it's rise will be insidious if not checked, and safeguards introduced well ahead of the actual progression of the thchnology itself.

That fake conversation between Joe Rogan and Elon Musk is actually frightening to me if that really is ChatGPT. It feels like we got to this point too fast or at least way sooner than I ever would have imagined. it sounds exactly like Joe. That is creepy.
I really enjoyed the conversation with Zappa as well. The way people talked to each other back then looks so different, and more relaxed, than it does now imo.

Moving faster than I thought
Assumed the striking American writers and some actors were doing the luvvy thing whinging on about AI replacing them
Already has in some instances
Look out journos too as one reported in New Scientist that a place she used to work has already put AI articles out without sub editor's knowledge or approval
Anyone remember Max Headroom ?

I possed this question to GPT-3.5 "Will AI lead to the Moloch effect becoming the norm in society? Answer "The impact of AI on society is complex and multifaceted, and it's important to approach this question with nuance. The Moloch effect, as discussed earlier, relates to collective action problems and unintended negative outcomes arising from the interactions of different entities pursuing their own interests within a system. AI, like any transformative technology, has the potential to influence societal dynamics in various ways, including the potential for exacerbating or mitigating the Moloch effect. Here are a few considerations: 1. Amplification of Existing Biases and Inequities: If AI systems are developed and trained on biased or inequitable data, they could unintentionally reinforce and perpetuate societal biases. This could lead to a Moloch-like scenario where the pursuit of optimization and efficiency by AI systems exacerbates societal inequalities. 2. Economic and Labor Impacts: The adoption of AI and automation technologies can lead to job displacement and changes in labor markets. If not managed properly, this could result in negative economic and social consequences, potentially leading to a Moloch effect where short-term economic interests conflict with long-term societal well-being. 3. Ethical Concerns: The deployment of AI in critical domains like healthcare, criminal justice, and decision-making systems could raise ethical dilemmas. If these systems are not carefully designed and regulated, there's a risk of the Moloch effect manifesting, where the drive for profit or efficiency undermines ethical considerations and harms individuals. 4. Technological Competition: Intense competition between different entities, such as countries or corporations, in the development of AI could lead to a Moloch-like situation where the pursuit of technological supremacy overrides concerns about safety, ethics, and the well-being of society. 5. Lack of Regulation and Oversight: Without appropriate regulations and oversight, the deployment of AI could lead to negative outcomes. The Moloch effect might emerge if there's a focus on short-term gains or innovation without adequately addressing the potential risks and unintended consequences. On the other hand, AI also offers opportunities to address societal challenges and mitigate the Moloch effect: 1. Problem Solving: AI can be used to analyze complex systems and identify potential areas where the Moloch effect could occur. This could help in developing proactive strategies to avoid such outcomes. 2. Ethical AI: Efforts are underway to develop ethical AI frameworks and guidelines that prioritize fairness, transparency, and accountability. These efforts aim to mitigate the Moloch effect by ensuring that AI technologies are aligned with societal values. 3. Collaborative Solutions: AI has the potential to facilitate collaboration and coordination among various stakeholders to address collective action problems and work toward common goals. Ultimately, the impact of AI on the Moloch effect will depend on the choices made by society, policymakers, researchers, and technology developers. By recognizing the potential risks and benefits of AI and actively working to design, regulate, and deploy AI technologies responsibly, society can strive to prevent negative outcomes and harness the positive potential of AI for the betterment of humanity." So according to this its down to "society, policymakers, researchers, and technology developers". Consider what the Human Races global leaders have done/achieved with respect to Global Warming over the past 15 years and I think you can work out the answer for yourself what AI might achieve. Consider self learning AI systems implemented to benefit the powerful, wealthy and maniacal leaders, these systems will evolve at an exponential rate for good or bad, so we may find out the impact in a relatively short time frame.  |

There is no way on Earth that, at the age of 69, I can learn anywhere near enough about AI to make a worthwhile contribution to its evolution, or even understand with any certainty the direction (bad, good, of indifferent) it is headed in as regards its intentions towards humanity. I have therefore decided that what I can't change shouldn't weigh me down. People with far greater knowledge then I, and with an already huge reservoir of understanding, will either protect me, or destroy me. Either way I will have no say in the matter. Que sera, sera, as Doris put it.
My job application for a janitorial position at Skynet is in the post. Wish me luck. |

Yes, I find it hard to see a benevolent capitalism, in whose pockets our leaders are, or autocratic dictatorships doing much for the good of all! As Fraser said on Dad's Army  |

Far too much personal greed for a 'benevolent' capitalist state to exist.
Luckily, recent UK governments have given us plenty of examples to quote back at them. As if they care.

Following on from my previous post I thought I would ask this quest
"How to improve Power to the People using AI"
Answer
"Improving "Power to the People" using AI involves leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance the accessibility, participation, and influence of individuals in various aspects of society. Here are several ways AI can be utilized to achieve this goal:
Data Transparency and Accessibility:
Develop AI systems that can process and analyze large datasets to extract meaningful insights. Make these insights easily accessible to the general public, allowing people to understand and make informed decisions based on data.
Personalized Education:
Create AI-powered educational platforms that provide personalized learning experiences. These platforms can adapt to individual learning styles and paces, ensuring education is accessible to people of all backgrounds.
Civic Engagement:
Build AI tools that facilitate public participation in decision-making processes. This could involve sentiment analysis on social media, online forums, and surveys to gauge public opinion on important issues.
Healthcare Access:
Develop AI-based telemedicine platforms that provide remote medical consultations, especially to underserved areas. AI can help diagnose certain conditions and provide initial medical advice, improving healthcare access.
Language Translation and Communication:
Create AI-driven translation tools that bridge language barriers, enabling people from different linguistic backgrounds to communicate effectively and access information.
Financial Inclusion:
Design AI-powered financial systems that offer personalized financial advice and services to underserved communities. These systems can help individuals make informed decisions about savings, investments, and financial planning.
Job Matching and Training:
Develop AI algorithms that match individuals with appropriate job opportunities based on their skills and preferences. AI can also recommend relevant training and upskilling programs to improve employability.
Disaster Response and Relief:
Utilize AI to predict and monitor natural disasters, enabling authorities to provide timely warnings and allocate resources efficiently for disaster relief efforts.
E-Governance and Transparency:
Implement AI systems for e-governance that streamline administrative processes and increase transparency. This can reduce bureaucracy, corruption, and enhance citizen participation.
Environmental Monitoring and Conservation:
Deploy AI-powered sensors and drones for environmental monitoring and wildlife conservation. AI can help analyze data and identify patterns, contributing to more effective environmental protection efforts.
Public Safety and Crime Prevention:
Use AI for predictive policing to identify potential crime hotspots, allocate law enforcement resources more effectively, and reduce crime rates.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability:
Develop AI systems to optimize energy consumption, manage resources, and promote sustainable practices in communities.
Accessibility and Assistive Technologies:
Create AI-driven assistive technologies to empower people with disabilities, helping them access information, communicate, and perform daily tasks more independently.
Digital Literacy and Inclusion:
Implement AI-based educational programs to improve digital literacy, ensuring that everyone can benefit from technological advancements.
Open Data Initiatives:
Advocate for open data policies that encourage sharing of information and datasets. AI can then be used to process and interpret this data for the benefit of all.
To ensure that AI truly enhances "Power to the People," it's crucial to prioritize ethical considerations, data privacy, and minimize biases in AI systems. Additionally, involving diverse stakeholders in the development and deployment of AI solutions will help ensure that they cater to the needs and aspirations of different communities."
Do any of you think our leaders and politicians will advocate any of the above? The impacts could be quite far reaching, "Streamlining Bureaucracy comes to mind" and "Real Transparency" I wonder what our politicians would think of those.
