any changes bound to happen will eventually do, sooner or later, wanted or not.
we have the word for it in dictionary, "evolution".
Eh, I'd say a better word is "progress." Or maybe "technological progress." Evolution is the change in gene frequency in a population over time.
Agree, otherwise. Its like trying to tell people not to make things go boom using saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. Luddites will always want to burn down the textile mill.
I 100% agree the genie is out of the bottle. People who want to walk back this change are not dealing with reality. AI and robotics are so valuable I very much doubt there's even any point in talking about slowing it down. All that's left now is to figure out how to use the good and deal with the bad - likely on a timeline of months to maybe one or two years.
That timeline of dealing with the bad looks incredibly optimistic. I imagine new issues will likely be regularly cropping up as well which we'll also have to address.
I agree. I'm talking about how quickly we're going to have strategies in place to deal not how quickly we'll have it all figured out. My guess is we have at best a year before it's a huge issue, and I agree with your take that figuring out human vs. AI content etc. is going to be an ongoing thing. Perhaps until AI gets so good it ceases to matter as much because it will be functionally the same.
And while it's probably true that "we're not ready", we're never going to become ready until the tech actually arrives and forces us to do that.
