I had a photo of one of those tricked out camper vans with solar cells on top. I asked AI to write a story based on the photo in a post apocalyptic world. About five hundred words in the style of Steven King. It wasn't quite up to King's quality, but the story was actually not bad. I guess if we run out of things to read AI can always come up with something.
I suspect wee are already unknowingly reading things written AI, but it may not be up to writing fine literature, quite yet.
Rogar: I don't expect to run out of things to read (by human authors) in this lifetime!
This morning I have been working with an AI to walk me through ROTH conversions of my traditional IRA, RMDs, and all that good stuff. It has been very detailed and helpful in the analysis, and was able to wrap up the project by providing a nice spreadsheet I can incorporate into some of my other analytical tools.
It was truly useful in this role.
Today I watched a market research webinar sponsored by my trade organization which was entitled: "AI is not taking your job" and then it went on to show you how it writes discussion guides, provides synthetic respondents that match your target audience, spins out transcripts and full reports, complete with charts and graphs, identifies video clips, and provides strategic insights.
It is up to us market researchers to accept our new roles as "curators," "strategists," and "signal amplifiers." I asked in the chat, "If a consultant is getting paid to do the work AI is now doing, how do they frame their value proposition to the client?" While people in chat replied, "No! You are still doing those things!" the presenter said it was a great question and that AI is going to reduce the reliance on consultants and even McKinsey said they are looking to hire far fewer consultants, and let AI do their work.
The presenter made an avatar of himself and then gave the AI program a sample of his voice and a script. His "twin" spun out an analysis of the role of AI in research, and I swear you couldn't tell the twin from the human.
I think humans do have to level up to a different way of looking at their value in many work settings out there. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out.
In light of the recent antisemitic comments coming out of Musk's AI Grok, I think it's time for those of us who are being pushed into AI at work to fight back and say no to AI use in our workplace.
Not that it's going to do any good. Time to retire, I guess.
The genie is out of the bottle. The only thing we can do is use our humanity to direct it appropriately.Quote:

Are you defending shooters here, or am I'm misunderstanding your emphasis?Quote:

I do not think anyone should shoot anyone. I would rather be shot than to own a gun and shoot someone else. I'm a pacifist. My heart is breaking for how my country is being overtaken by violent thugs.Quote:
