Using Artificial Intelligence for students can be a game-changer. AI tools can personalize learning, adapt to individual strengths and weaknesses, and provide instant feedback. They make studying more efficient and can help with organizing tasks or understanding complex topics. However, it’s important to balance AI use with critical thinking and human guidance to avoid over-reliance. Overall, AI offers exciting opportunities to enhance education and make learning more engaging.

The AI you used to write this was really impressive as well! :)
 
Detecting if something is ai or not is extremely hard when you consider that some neurodivergence folk genuinely just write like that. Plus I think ai is gonna be so expensive to run one day that companies will stop bothering
 
I put all his posts in multiple AI detectors and they all came back as AI, so chances are pretty strong to me. I don’t think he’s ever engaged in conversation or posted about something niche before either.
 
It doesn't help that a good chunk of their posts seem to be shilling something as well...it feels like they're a bot but they've gotten smart enough to appear conversational.
 
Indeed, and a lot of them are rather racy in a way that I haven't seen since the old obnoxious flash adverts I used to see in the 00s.
 
Don't know what you guys are talking about. Ain't no bots on my channel.

Or humans, for that matter.
 
But would you rather have smart bots with big bums as profile pictures commenting on your videos, or no comments at all? :?

It always angers me when I hear this, because not only can their service not be replicated and it is quite literally robbing people of an income, but AI is way too early into development to actually give any valuable input.

Power looms put a lot of textile workers out of work, but surely no one's wishing that they worked as a hand weaver at a factory today? Like Dave said, "jobs will disappear and new ones will appear, just as they always have". The real challenge is how, as a society, we can help those affected by those changes to pivot to new occupations, and for those who just can't, how we can support them.

Theoretically, artists have an advantage wherever they can do anything novel, because these models will not be able to reproduce it accurately. One might contest that it forces everyone into their own niches and rewards the kind of creativity that takes dramatic leaps outside the familiar and known.

My thoughts exactly. Real artists are not getting replaced by AI anytime soon. The sheer amount of AI slop out there shows that, while those tools are great for specific use cases, something is still missing to match a real artist's creativity and talent. But let's face it: because you draw does not make you an artist. The mediocre ones will get replaced, but is that really a problem?

I recently found about that a big spanish One Piece forum is having trouble because of bot attacks, possibly chinese AIs, causing an overload of 10000 active sesions and filling their space with activity logs.

I'm surprised that we're only really starting to hear about this now. We've been dealing with this problem since at least November 2023, and the first time I've read about an article about this issue was a few months ago. While there's no perfect solution, I think our approach is a good compromise.

(AI couldn't have done that because it's actual art)
 
A very interesting video that I found, an interview with Geoffrey Hinton, from the channel The Diary of A CEO:


Some highlights, sorry if I transcribed them incorrectly.

16:36 You can now create new viruses relatively cheaply using AI, and you don't have to be a very skilled molecular biologist to do it.

21:51 We don't have a shared reality anymore.

41:00 If it can do all mudane human intelectual labor, then what new jobs is it going to create? You'd have to be very skilled to have a job that it couldn't just do.

42:34 There are jobs where you can make a person with an AI assistant much more efficient and you won't lead to less people, because you'll just have more of that being done. But, most jobs I think are not like that.

50:00 Remember that the AI when it's training it's using code, and if it can modify its own code, then it gets quite scary, right? It can change itself in ways we can't change ourselves.

52:53 I haven't come to terms with what the development of super intelligence can do to my children's future.

58:57 We've actually solved the problem of immortality, but it's only for digital things.

1:00:40 They're going to be much more creative than us, because they're going to see all sorts of analogies we never saw, and a lot of creativity is about seeing strange analogies.

1:02:41 I believe that current multimodal chatbots have subjetive experiences, and very few people believe that.

1:07:35 If your view of consciousness is that it intrinsically involves self-awareness, then the machine's got to have self-awareness. It's gonna have cognition about its own cognition.

Shoot, I never got around to watching that :oops2:

Here's an article that was cited in the Guardian today: https://palisaderesearch.org/blog/shutdown-resistance (posting the original because naturally the newspaper glossed over the technical details :roll:)
It's about AI "assistants" using a shell environment to process tasks, and sabotaging efforts to shut down the machine while doing so.
