    None of it is important. In a few years this so-called AI thing won’t be any more interesting than an Eliza chat bot from the 1960s. It’s just people with too much money and not enough sense doing stupid shit and/or grifting.

      Bonkers take my dude.

      Feels like teachers of my day telling everyone calculators won’t exist (in your pockets) in the future.

        For real, in 10-20 years, I’ll probably just be asking an AI to generate most code for me while I get to focus on the fun stuff. It will probably help me make the fun stuff too. In 30-40 years, I bet AIs could generate mildly complex games, considering they can do simple games like brick breaker now.

          Along with that dream, I hope you’re prepared for participating in a massive economic change that will upend the current capitalist system, because you’re not gonna end up doing what you hope under it.

      I can’t say I agree. I’m skeptical about these LLMs accomplishing the things many people think they will, but I think the last technology to transform my life like this was having access to Wikipedia from a smartphone. GPT-4 has proven incredible useful for guiding me through areas I know nothing about, like house buying. I always fact-check it with my own manual searches later, but it has held up remarkably well.
