I've been thinking about how people working in intellectual fields like art, programming, and writing are starting to realize that their work can be automated, industrialized, and produced in large volumes faster by AI. It's a similar situation to what line workers experienced with the first automated production lines. It's frustrating because the skills and knowledge that people have spent their careers developing are suddenly not as valuable as they once were. It's easy to dismiss AI-generated content as garbage, but it won't always be that way. Even now [1], some of the MidJourney creations and written text produced by AI are truly impressive. As AI technology continues to improve, we we'll see even more advanced models that can produce meta-articles on par with those produced by organizations like IPCC if feeded with scientific articles. I'm not sure how to feel about all this. It's happening, it's going to get better, and it's going to change our lives. There's not much we can do to stop it, and I'm not even sure we should if we could. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33752684 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33752684
