Our own brains have a repeating neural architecture -- not a lot of architectural variances.

Tuning how links are created between neurons seems to be where much of the "magic" happens.

The latest ANNs like GPT4 seem to have the tuning pretty close to amazing. And it will get better.

Is language necessary? No, I do not think it is. However, structure in what we learn is -- and language is one way to structure our learning material in an impactful way.

Does an ANN have to copy our brain architecture exactly to develop a more powerful intellect? I think the proof is already here that it does not have to copy us to beat us.

AI will creep into all jobs like water finding a way through cracks. It will happen and not be stoppable.

The jobs that are entirely done via a computer keyboard are easiest to target -- less engineering involved.

The potential for AI is much greater than human potential.

It has already impacted the gig economy jobs. Generating awesome graphics using Midjourney is cheap and using DAL-E via bing is free. How many artists on fiver are losing traffic because of that? More than zero.

And my understanding is that some text writing fiver-level jobs are already gone too. Generating good text with ChatGPT is free and already available.

We are just at the start.

I'm expecting a predictable scenario like this:

  1. The growth of freely available information on the internet slows down as proprietary AIs become the go-to for answers.
  2. Proprietary AIs start actively trying to hide information behind paywalls to gain an advantage over their rivals
  3. The golden age of all-you-can-eat information is lost and nobody realized it was happening.

There are limits to prediction that are rooted in the limits of what information can practically be gathered. So some seemingly mundane things like predicting the weather 60 days into the future may always be impossible no matter how powerful AI becomes.

However, predicting beyond the capacity of any human that ever lived or ever will live is something we can expect -- perhaps soon.

The future will be MUCH MORE individualized than anything anyone has ever experienced in human history.

In the near future the movies you watch will be MOVIES MADE FOR YOU. The podcasts you listen to will be generated real-time for you just like you want to hear them. Your music will be the only music you care to listen to. And it will be generated fresh every day, like bread from the baker.

The echo chambers of today will seem like quaint children's tree-house forts in retrospect just a few years from now.
