Some of the picture generating AI has a long way to go..
I asked Night Cafe to generate 'A portrate of a 63 year old man playing football at Wembley'
This was the result.... like the extra arm and the strange finger arrangement!

I note there is a new expression re AI on its march towards AGI. (Artificial General Intelligence - defined as an autonomous system that surpasses human capabilities in the majority of economically valuable tasks).
Q-Star appertains to the mathematics of AI - it would be the gamechanger if/when cracked.

People at work bang on about AI/GPT constantly but have still yet to have an answer for a beneficial use for it other than "it writes stuff for me".
I was at a conference recently and one of the speakers said we should avoid AI from becoming the new app. As in, everyone asked for an app but without have a fully thought out plan for what they want the app to do or achieve, just that everyone else has an app so I want one too! To get full benefit from using AI or GPT you need to know exactly how you'll use it and have an idea of what results you'd expect to get.

I'm a freelance copywriter / creative director and GPT means I can do my work at least 3x faster. Everyone I know in advertising is using it.
Unfortunately that means everyone is 3x as efficient and there's a lot less freelance going round these days...2 -

If it was marketed as a writing aid and text aggregator, I would not be so dismissive of ChatGPT.
But for question/answer, it is difficult to trust it:
Me: When did Ronaldo get sent off when playing against Wayne Rooney
ChatGPT: Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off in the 2006 FIFA World Cup quarter-final match between England and Portugal on July 1, 2006. In that game, Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, who were Manchester United teammates at the time, had a controversial incident. Rooney was shown a red card for a foul, and Ronaldo's involvement in appealing for the decision led to some tensions. Portugal won the match in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw, with Ronaldo converting one of the penalties.
As we know, only Rooney was sent off.
ChatGPT must have noticed the two names together in Wikipedia or elsewhere on the web, with a red card mentioned, and inferred (helped by the way I phrased the question admittedly) that Ronaldo also got one.

Calculators, when they were first brought out, were about the same size and weight as housebricks. They did a really good job, very, very well. That is, performing complex mathematical calculations quickly and accurately. But, despite being roughly the same size and weight as housebricks, you couldn't bash two together, either side of a dog's bollocks in order to castrate it. That was a specific task that was very much in the oeuvre of a housebrick, but one for which a calculator wasn't the ideal tool.Arthur_Trudgill said:If it was marketed as a writing aid and text aggregator, I would not be so dismissive of ChatGPT.

If you want to use the internet to find out when or whether Ronaldo was sent off playing against Wayne Rooney, ChatGPT isn't the right tool. You're far better off using Google. That doesn't mean ChatGPT is a bad tool, in the same way that a calculator's deficiency in orchiectomy makes a calculator a bad tool.
ChatGPT is spectacularly good at important things (in the same way a calculator is proficient at calculating) and very good at some stupid things (in the same way you can type 58008 into a calculator so it reads BOOBS upside down). For other tasks, use other things.

This is an example of where it will change jobs / lead to some redundancy because 'it' can do it for the client.

As with any significant technological change (Excel in the 80s, internet in the 90s) jobs will be displaced, but new ones will be created. We are a resilient species and find ways to adapt. Despite what many think will be death knell for lower skilled workers, technology often has the ability to close the gap on those less skilled and the 'experts', making upward mobility available for those less fortunate in life.
I found this article on ft.com particularly interesting: https://www.ft.com/content/74c63f77-f543-4be0-9cd9-2f5f40ba6f17
For me, it is the 'experts' who horde knowledge for their own preservation that should fear the advent of AI more than those willing to adapt and use the new technologies.1 -

As explained above, AI can help elevate you within an organisation without years of hard work neccesary to learn a skill (such as programming). It’s now, more than ever, about creative thinking and the idea rather than the execution (which AI tools will do for you).Of course, this is not for all jobs. If you work in construction, ChatGPT is not for you.0

If you work in construction, ChatGPT is not for you.Correct - and if you want someone to come around to your house to plaster the kitchen then that will invariably be a human being for a very long time. But major construction will be designed, specified and constructed by machines - likely/hopefully in my lifetime (and I'm 66!) but certainly in my childrens' lifetime.If one accepts that the human brain is just a super (duper!) computer with neural networks connected using electro/chemical reactions at the synapses then one day in the not too distant future AGI will not only replicate that but will surpass the human brain's power. It will do all the creative stuff as well that we consider unique to human beings and will learn to understand and replicate intuition, creativity , learning and manual dexterity that we now consider just the realm of humans.Anyone who sees it any differently is in for a big shock - and it can't be held back.

ChatGPT literally makes shit up. For professional purposes I asked it for a list of TV competition shows highlighting excellence in retail. Some of the answers looked suspicious. i challenged it one by one, and in each case it backed down and apologised for a “mistake”. I have the transcript, it’s hilarious but too long for a post here.Covered End said:
