We are at an interesting moment in time - where a small freeware version of an AI has caused massive stir and interest in A.I. in the public domain. I highlight small freeware version in comparison to what large Governments, Military, Mega corporations and well funded intelligence agencies can use at their discretion. One wonders if ChatGPT is a mere demonstrative toy compared to their capabilities.
I do see the potential this has to reshape modern life - in many aspects. A human being will be defended in USA for the first time this month by an A.I. Its ability to code and improve code vastly outstrips many human developers. It has already passed (bottom 20% of passes) the final law exam for Harvard law school graduates and it is growing more sophisticated at an accelerating rate.
Whilst it isn't Skynet - one wonders what will happen when AI's start feeding themselves and designing better and better AIs - the way organic creatures evolve. It isn't aware software with its own intelligence - it is meant to replicate behaviour or responses in a way to statistically acting in accordance as if it were. So outside its black box it appears frighteningly capable, inside the box its data and algorithms that are whirling around executing their models - and this will likely continue until someone tells the world they have invented a quantum level AI.
I have no way of knowing where this will all lead - the same way I have never seen a zombie apocalypse or end of the world movie were we all ran out of toilet paper - but hey who during Covid foresaw that?
I do foresee a time and real soon when made by AI surpasses any made by human hand or skill - and it actively gets marketed as such. I sense it will be a rather wild ride ahead. I wonder how far we are from the day you can ask an AI "What could you design and built that would supplant and replace you with something far more advanced?" and we get to see what an AI thinks will make AI itself obsolete...
