I think AI will largely remain an input-output tool. We still need to prepare ourselves for the scenario where for most input-output tasks, AI will be preferable to humans. Science is an interesting field to focus on. There is so much scientific literature for most fields that it is now impossible to keep up with the latest literature. AI will be able to parse literature and generate hypotheses at a much greater scale than any human or team of humans.
- thebeastie 4y agoI don’t know why you think that. As soon as it is viable, some unscrupulous actor will surely program an AI with the goal of “make money and give it to me”, and if that AI is able to self modify, well that’s all that’s required for that experiment to end badly because decent AI alignment is basically intractable.
