My predictions for the next 5 to 10 years: - A lot of porn will be produced by AI. - A lot of "low end" graphic designer and illustration jobs will disappear and there will be lots of unemployment in this area. ("High end" graphic design and supervision jobs will remain, of course.) There will be plenty of software for creating cheap book covers,automatically arranging brochures, creating new variations from existing images. In contrast to existing software, you won't need a graphic designer to use this software and achieve perfect results. - Online conversations will become very cumbersome. People will waste time answering to chat bots, chat bots will talk to chat bots. The signal to noise ratio on social media will increase. There will be a walls of text to navigate. - Customer service will become a nightmare for customers who slowly realize they're being fooled by an AI that cannot do anything. The EU will probably prohibit or restrict the use of AI in customer service. - Karma systems on social media might break. Bots can easily produce posts that create karma, which can then be exploited for nefarious purposes. - Political disinformation and propaganda campaigns will reach society-threatening levels. - There will be lots of auto-generated content that seems to make sense but is useless or dangerous. Cooking recipes will be even more useless than they already are. On a positive note, most people will see through the deception. - "You're a bot!" will be an even more common ad hominem attack than it already is. > compared to what a competent human in their skill can do Enough speculation, I need to comment on this line. That's not a very relevant criterion from an economic perspective. It's a matter of scaling up. Take pornographic images as an example: You have to arrange for photo shootings, for the location, for models, bring the equipment, lightning, etc. Or, a GPU farm can spit out tens of thousands of images per hour. Which business model will win?
