No, the one who can reap every advantage of the new skills and knowledge learned by AI is actually you. They are all just one prompt away.

It won't be human vs AI, but human+AI vs human+AI.
Has anyone noticed a trend? every AI task is fragile, they all need human oversight in critical scenarios. Looks like AI is only going to scale as much as we can scale oversight. It will have to be a human+AI team effort.

I think the metaphor is "centaur"; in chess we started with humans dominating, then AI got better and (after DeepBlue) centaurs dominated, then AI got better and humans only held them back. > Has anyone noticed a trend? every AI task is fragile, they all need human oversight in critical scenarios. Well, that's one way to prevent misaligned AI paper-clipping us. (Pity some of us keep being lazy and letting the fragile AI break stuff…) Given we don't know how hard it is to make a human-level general AI, there's no way to know right now if we're going to be in a world of (for any skill not already automated) human dominance, centaur dominance, or AI dominance, nor when any transitions between states will happen.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoShort-term thinking only. human+AI will give way to AI...of couse, I can reap the advantages of AI. THAT is the problem: thinking about what I can do. That is the problem that plagues us. I was not thinking of I. I could easily reap the advantages of AI now, but what about future generations?
