> I'm in disbelief.. Scared also - why not ? I'm the former, but not the latter. It is eerie seeing code (especially running in the vast black box that is deep learning) do things so humanlike, but I always come back to the analogy of manned flight. We are on the precipice of a Kitty Hawk moment in AI. But just as the Wright Brothers' plane was not a bird, it's worth remembering that these systems are not minds. They are almost certainly utilizing some of the same principles that minds use, just as fixed-wing aircraft utilized the same principles at work in avian bodies, but they are coming to them via a different route from nature. It's thrilling seeing these breakthroughs, and just as manned flight transformed the world, whatever the likes of GPT, PaLM, and DALL-E become will make the future weird in ways we can't predict.
