I have been playing with ChatGPT. With just two or three simple phrases supplied, and a request to write a story of X length, it delivers something pretty amazing. Keep adding and removing phrases and constraints, and the product becomes still more plausible and, honestly, well written. Now combine/expand that tech with deep fake video, and deep fake audio, and the day is coming when we won't know who or what to believe any more. I see in the long run this tech may actually make us more local than national or global, for the simple reason that it's safer to believe the guy right in front of you.
If you are not ready for AI, you had best get ready, because the capabilities you mentioned are already here. ChatGPT is in Beta, it is limited to language based queries and outputs, but there are other AIs such as Jasper that produce visual art. Other AI systems can create animations, videos, and music from text. I think that smart people will quickly figure out how to monetize AI to generate income. If you can think outside the box, and combine your ideas with AI, the sky's the limit.
mrdeepfakedotcom (NSFW) was certainly eye opening. We've got AI bots writing articles and pushing disinfo all over social media but it's dismissed as nonsense. Hell, we've got plenty on here that do driveby posts that make no sense all the time.
I read an article last week, how a guy wrote a children book with the help of AI, then used the AI to produce the illustrations. BOOM, the book was done in 2 days. Crazy. https://www.businessinsider.com/cha...trate-childrens-book-one-weekend-alice-2023-1
I did a search for "first novel written by AI" and found it plus a whole lot more. I have not been looking into the AI behind visual art, though I see it my feed, and it's also remarkable.
I read kids in high school and college are using this to do their essays and the schools are having a hard time proving if a paper is made with AI or not .I wish I had this when I was school I hated doing papers.
I didn't mind those to much.I could easily remember everything I read in a book or heard in the class.Putting it together for an essay was a bitch for me.
Of course there are immediately people on social media pitching how to get rich off of ChatGPT... of course they merely want to sucker you in to buying their courses so they can get rich.
If it is too good to be true, it must be AI, that is how I would see it if I was a professor Another interesting article I read - how one of the top universities is including ChatGPT in its program. Pretty much the professor said here it is, I know you will use it, but know that you bear full responsibility for what is written. Meaning if there is an error, the students cannot blame it on the AI.
