Guess based on historical anecdata: I think that is because it looks like the current gen AI:s will help automating lot of stuff, but wont enable anything new. I would say we are at the analogous point where ’computer’ no longer meant a chain of humans with calculators. First the automation needs to become entrenched, then new innovations can emerge.
- bsenftner 4y agoCan I future quote your "current gen AI's will help automating lot of stuff, but won't enable anything new" when that "something new" tears a new economic hole in our global economy? Personally, I see this tech capable of destroying and recreating the advertising industry completely via inserting everyday consumers into ad media, depicting them as happy consumers of a product they've not used yet - while celebrity spokespeople, appearing as their personal friend, inform them how much the celebrity idolizes them for using said product. This is an obvious non-subtle application. There will be many, many more.
