Essential
I don’t agree when people say that AI will make things bad (aka rule the world someday). I strongly feel AI will make world better by making humans realize what is worth pursuing and what is not. Sure, people used to write papers (still do), code, write and what not on their own. But the only thing majority of the world was doing was somehow putting efforts on combining various sources of knowledge and doing a creative transformation to get something called ‘new’. Very few (courageous) people came up with ‘radical transformations’. Now AI can present those sources to you. Sometimes it can give some transformations as well. But they don’t account to anything radical. Afterall, it has learned from ‘majority’ only.
Eventually, AI will make sure that only something new, something out of the box gets out of the human mind. Something that defines us as human beings. Not some machinery producing irrelevant results.
I say this as survival of the fittest enforced due to AI.
One another aspect that I always think about is: Peopl are saying it’s getting difficult to recognise what is generated by humans and what is generated using GPTs. I feel eventually, things will become so absurd that people will lose interest from creating something that AI can also generate and entire human race will start a journey of evolution from a new angle. This is similar to cyclic evolution that I’m always fascinated by and wrote few articles previously. Afterall,
We do, what we have to do, in order to survive.
