Reply to comment by BigZaddyZ3 in ChatGPT really surprised me today. by GlassAmazing4219

You're comparing purpose built AI with average human for the bar exam?

And chess is also not a great example, as there are finite number of possible moves. In any system requiring significant inductive reasoning, or environments that are unstructured/chaotic, AI typically struggles without extensive human guidance.

I pointed out chess thing in a thread a couple of weeks ago and got downvoted to hell. People simply don’t understand that the best human players haven’t been able to beat best chess engines for years now. An discussion from 2010 - https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/can-the-top-players-beat-the-best-computers-anymore

Anything that’s formulaic, computers have been better at it for years. But it hasn’t made it irrelevant. We still have chess tournaments because it’s a sport and we want to see human greatness and excellence. Not the limits of chess game play.

Irrelevant. You’ve said nothing that disproves that AI is still capable of exceeding human abilities already. AI is already more accurate than doctors. Thinking AI won’t eventually exceed even the best human minds in pretty much every sector is basically the same as those morons who thought the internet was a fad that would die out in the first five years.

A calculator exceeds human abilities regarding math.

A toaster exceeds human abilities regarding heat generation.

This "AI" is another tool we use.

The difference is that the tasks AI are beginning to beat us in are becoming increasingly more and more complex. AI is beginning to beat us at full jobs now. That’s different. Anyone who can’t see the upcoming paradigm shift AI will create is just willfully playing blind. The coming AI won’t just be another tool that helps us get the job done. It’ll soon do the job better than we ever could. Do you think that will have the same impact on society as a fucking toaster?

>full jobs

And thats only an issue for humans who treat themselves as tools to be used by someone else.

A value creator uses AI to generate value faster and cheaper. AI frees creators from having to do mundane tasks. People like you fear this seismic shift because all you can do is follow orders.

If you look at any of the prior 3 industrial revolutions, more jobs were created by technology replacing humans than jobs destroyed - but it also required the average worker to be increasingly skilled and fluent with the new tech.

Drop the pseudo-philosophical nonsense. Understanding the gravity and magnitude of something isn’t necessarily the same as fearing it. Don’t try and lecture me about this topic if you’re gonna make such ignorant assumptions.

And just so you know, past performance doesn’t necessarily always predict future events. So using the past to say “see, these other times such and such didn’t occur…” is fallacious thinking. You’re not the intellectual you seem to think you are if you couldn’t spot such an obvious fallacy in your logic tbh.

So, like every single tool we invented?

No. A fucking paint brush simply helped you paint better. It didn’t paint the entire fucking picture for you. Rendering all of your skills and experience now useless in the process. Get it? That’s the difference between this coming wave of AI versus past “innovations”. If you can’t see the obvious nuance here, may God have mercy on your naive, oblivious soul tbh. 😂 You likely won’t be ready for the upcoming seismic shifts these new technologies will create.

I think it's more that I adapt to change quite easily and do it all the time, so the changes this will add over the years will be nothing spectacularly different for me.

I'll use it as another tool to make myself more useful to clients.
