AI won't take over the future (But it might steal our doughnuts)

33 · 5 min read · 26 Jan 2023 · 16 · 16 · 16

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a hot topic in today's world, with many people worrying that it will one day take over our jobs and even our lives. But these fears are largely unfounded. While AI will certainly have a profound impact on the future, it is unlikely to take over completely. However, it might steal all our doughnuts, so we should be careful. One of the main reasons why AI won't take over the future is that it is simply not advanced enough. Sure, it can beat us at chess and Go, but it can't even make a decent cup of coffee (yet). Not to mention, the AI-powered barista at the local coffee shop still can't spell our names right, let alone rule the world.

Can it fix the bugs on Yoors?

With all the bugs going on on Yoors, sometimes the Yoors team ourselves can't figure out what's wrong. So hey, we try and ask some questions to ChatGPT, the raving AI tool that everyone is talking about, to figure out what's wrong so we can fix it for you. Oddly enough, ChatGPT found the answer. I hear a lot of people talking about how we, programmers, are going to lose our jobs. If AI can code, why do we need programmers?

But shouldn't all of us be worried then? If AI is this powerful that it can program for me, figure out what I'm going to wear tonight , and even determine that women are always right (See photo), what else can it do?

It's not that simple.

AI needs you, the human, to ask it for a prompt and give it a task. We, programmers and other humans, will always be needed. We will just get better AT programming thanks to AI. Sure, some tasks will disappear and we won't have to do them, but doesn't this happen with all jobs? Think about automation, where the computer does all the calculation for your stocks and investments and secretaries don't have to do that anymore.

funny! This reminds me of Siri a long time ago. I remember our eldest son always loved asking Siri, “Siri, tell me a joke?” And then there came a bad joke and then ha ha ha.

I think that as far as artificial intelligence is concerned we are only in prehistory. The ones we have now are "just tools" but those of a not too distant future will be capable of anything, even authentic emotions and conscious thought. Then it will all be seen.

The same fears were at play with the rise of computers. At that time, (almost) everyone also thought that he would lose their job as a result. But that created other jobs. Whether AI is good? ALL is One, so that includes AI. We'll get used to it again and well, those bugs are part of it.

When they talked about that system on TV in the News, I immediately thought they won't need copywriters anymore. But the system does lack underlying emotions. Maybe that's why the texts are flawless, good and business-like, but they lack the underlying...

Maybe that's why the texts are flawless, good and business-like, but they lack the underlying concept of an emotion.
It remains a great help, but it cannot completely replace or understand a person's thoughts.

I do find it interesting and what the future will bring, positive and negative, that's what we and our children are going to experience again.

It's a tool, yes, but that way anyone can write and you don't need to be an expert in anything

As long as it is used as a tool, I can see the benefits, but there is even a robot kitchen that does its own shopping, that single-handedly prepares dishes with the ingredients it takes out of the fridge, that prepares these dishes whenever you want....

However, the ingredients must be delivered by a delivery person and you or someone else must also load the refrigerator. Good to see, but your own spice mix, special touch or the love with which you prepare something as a chef is of course not in the dish. https://youtu.be/Na3jd0uclkg

artificial intelligence is a very interesting topic, but I think I agree with one of my colleagues, we are in our infancy on the subject, much remains to be researched and seen in this field

it must be a fear anyway, because with something new, it's always just a fear of how it will work out. You did make a nice comprehensive blog out of this. It was also very interesting to read, I must confess.

Hilarious

I always say AI, artificial intelligence, but is that the same thing? I think so,... Show moreI always say AI, artificial intelligence, but is that the same thing? I think so, huh?

I see pros and cons.
If it is used in healthcare, it may be able to give more space to the HANDS that CARE.

And so you can think of anything, but there is also a big one but. and a lot of people are really concerned about this new development.

Good post!
Thank you so much

Excellent post, I hadn't thought that it would be replaced by AI, but now that you mention it, I see that some people may feel it.

Oh well, every innovation raises opposition, including AI. Although things won't go so fast again. Perhaps it is a solution to maintain prosperity without the need for economic growth.
