No particularly concerned about it, but I sure am tired of hearing about it. AI this, AI that…enough already!
“Super intelligence” - when AI performs tasks better and faster than any human . . . estimates on when this might occur vary, but perhaps by 2030, certainly 2035.
Soon AI will be performing the research and development of AI.
Super Intelligence won’t be just for answering questions - but will be like a high level employee or committee which can be given tasks. Example tasks: start a company with the following characteristics. SI will generate financing, hire other SI assets, get sales, etc. Or, spin up a news network to disseminate the following type of news\opinions - complete with editorials, videos, fake talking heads with designed personalities, etc.
People are expecting AI robots to do their laundry, or some minor or even major job displacement . . . won’t we be surprised.
SI means the diminishing of the value of humans, and the decreasing value-added of humanity itself.

Especially if humans don’t proofread to remove the AI intro statements like “Sure, here’s a revised version focusing purely on scientific and astronomical data”. Lol.
My concern about AI is pretty short-term but AI generated audio and video is becoming more common in scams targeting the elderly. An AI generated phone call with the grandsons voice saying he has been arrested and needs money, etc. Some of the newer AI videos (Like TK 42 Greg Stormtrooper videos which are awesome) are incredibly well done. It’s only going to get worse.
My concerns with AI are it will make us lazy thinkers and control our biases. I’m not a big fan of it in the workplace if people use it for higher end thinking.
I am freaking out about it. Not only for me but for my son who has yet to enter the workforce. What the heck should he major in or what skill should he get? How do we help prepare him for life? If most white collars job go away…
….fewer and fewer people will ever enjoy the privilege (which really should be a right, for hard working citizens) to purchase a place to call home.
Seriously, what a world we are embracing under the guise of advancement.
We are experiencing this in a big way in Canada. The generation in their late teens - 20s right now seems totally screwed with respect to home ownership.
What is fascinating, and kind of scary, is there are politicians now in their mid-late 20s who have “renter” as part of their ideology and bio, to signal to other people who will never afford to buy they are looking out for their interests. The part that is scary is they seem to find current homeowners as the Boogeyman, not massive corporations buying and developing all the housing. As such, they are making policies that are squeezing people out of their homes and basically serving the housing market up to corporations on a silver platter. In their eyes, If you own a SFH in Canada, you are part of the problem.
