I don’t know which is more of a threat-humanoid robots (add a link to your robot post) or Chat GPT AI!!! According to a digitaltrends article by Alex Blake https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/chatgpt-4-launching-next-week-ai-videos/

it is rumored to be able to create “AI-generated videos from simple text prompts”.

Questions

Will Chat GPT 4 crush companies like Synthesys and Pictory?

Answer

Absolutely! Well, most. Some will pivot or offer better products and more advanced features while others will just close their doors. This will also bring about the creation of new types of business opportunities like AI generated avatars for working in the meta verse and for conducting virtual business.

2. How will this impact the future of AI?

Answer

This is the spark that has ignited a fuse that will bring about long awaited explosive growth to this industry! I believe this will also usher in other tech like AR that is actually practical and fully immersive VR that we’ve only seen in movies like Ready Player One.

3. When?

Answer

As soon as this week!

4. Can we stop this?

Answer

Hell NO-and why would we want to?!? People are using this tech to create all sorts of things from simple songs and poems to writing complex code for apps and websites. This trajectory will continue and only grow from here.

5. Will Chat GPT 4 have a negative. impact on content creators?

Answer

This is a question many (if not all) have wondered and asked. I’m not an expert but believe I’m capable of speculating. I believe it will definitely slim down the fatness of Fiverr, meaning, any service provider that doesn’t have deep roots will surely disappear. The tech they’ve been using in secret has been made public and most people are going to do it themselves. At the very least it will drive prices to new lows.

Also, I couldn’t help but notice whenever I Google ANYTHING all the search results are produced based on SEO or paid promotions. When I ask chat GPT ANYTHING I get nothing but a straight answerI think I’d prefer not to use Google, at least right now. With that being said, will Google survive this? If not, what will happen to SEARCH? Meaning, sooo many content creators rely on Google searches to earn a living (and some earn a VERY good living). Will all this go away? Will Google release their AI model (laMDA) to compete? (I heard a rumor that the reason laMDA wasn’t released was because it went sentient.)Will this just be a new generation of search engines that will work the same way just more advanced?

Final Thoughts: I still have a lot of questions and encourage readers to reach out with answers or opinions of their own.

The post Will Chat GPT 4 Continue To Endanger Google and Content Creator Careers? appeared first on Deep 'n Thought.

I asked Chat GPT this question and this is what it said: “It is unlikely that humanoid robots will completely take over the labor force in the near future. While robots are becoming increasingly capable of performing various tasks, there are still many jobs that require human creativity, decision-making, and emotional intelligence.

Additionally, the cost of developing and maintaining humanoid robots is still relatively high, making it less practical for many businesses to invest in them as a replacement for human workers. Moreover, there are also ethical and social considerations involved in replacing human workers with robots.

However, it is possible that certain industries or specific job roles may see a significant increase in the use of robots and automation in the coming years. This may lead to a shift in the types of skills and education that are in demand in the labor market, and it will be important for individuals and governments to adapt to these changes”.

So, I read this https://www.theregister.com/2023/03/08/humanoid_robot_marks_canada/ article today by Thomas Claburn about how a humanoid robot took a retail job and couldn’t help but wonder what this could lead to. I mean, we’ve all kinda known about robots for a while but no one seemed to care or do much about it. These aren’t the bots we use to day-trade crypto or use to kill each other in Robot Wars! So, I figured now might be a good time to go Deep ‘n Thought about it.

Questions:

1. Why?

Answer: it’s obvious…money. It all comes down to money and profits. Not to mention, these bots won’t call in sick or complain about how they don’t get enough vacation days or threaten to leave if they don’t get a raise. The bots will work and work and work without compensation or complaining. All they need is a little maintenance here and some software updating there.

2. Who will end up jobless first?

Answer: With the recent public introduction of advanced AI, more specifically, Chat GPT, we’ve been forced to consider the real possibility that, as content creators, we could be jobless! Once the panic settled we collectively realized that this AI might actually increase the demand for human-created content-phew, we’re safe for now but for how long?

With that being said, how much more of a threat will the public introduction of an actual humanoid robot employee be? I’m sure these bots will have AI built in so they’d be capable of almost anything! I think it would just be a matter time before every human’s job was in jeopardy. We’ve already seen some fast food restaurants replace humans with kiosks for self-ordering and everyone that’s been to a Walmart knows they don’t invite the self-checkout cashiers to their Christmas parties!

3. When will it become a big enough deal to do something about?

Answer: When it’s too late. In my opinion it’s too late now. With robotics companies like Boston Dynamics making huge advancements it won’t be long before we start seeing the fruits of their labor in public serving food, saving lives, leading the blind and just about anything else any competent human can do because they’re not working so hard for no reason.

4. Will big businesses that can afford to replace 90% of their employees with humanoid bots do it right away or will they do it subtly over the course of months or even years to avoid protest?

Answer: I believe they will add 1 or 2 at a time, which would be just enough to be novelty and not lead to outrage. So subtle that by the time anyone noticed it would be too late. So subtle that if anyone brought attention to the fact that “there seemed to be more bots in the store this month than last” they might be accused of being a conspiracy theorist. Also, non-humanoid bots have been invading the work force at a large scale since the 1990s so we’re all used to it.

5. Is this a good thing?

Answer: Yes and no. It’s good for industry and technological advancement but not good for humans (or maybe not at first thought-see 6 below).

6. CAN WE STOP THIS?!?

Answer: No. The best we can do is embrace this by educating ourselves about the industry and how to be a part of it. And, if you’re the leadership type, be a part of the charge into the future! OR…maybe we can figure out a way for humans to own one or more of these to take their place at work thus allowing us to truly be financially free. We can influence where this goes by keeping informed and including ourselves in the legislative process ensuring that we aren’t forgotten about.

After all, if humans are jobless this would lead to extreme poverty which would lead to economic crisis because who would be buying the services and products being offered and produced by these humanoid robots?

Final Thoughts

Final Thoughts: This wasn’t written to create panic or fear. And , I’m sure I’m not the first or last to write about it. We may not be able to create the robots (yet) that will take our jobs but maybe we can buy them before the corporations do and rent them to the corporations and let the robots go to work for us! We win!
