If AI could do lip piercings, tattoos and sell dope it would be very successful around here.

I used it to help draft a will where I will be leaving everything to my wife or both my kids if my wife goes first. It took many repetitions to refine and tighten the language up as much as possible. This took a couple of hours and saved me a few hundred dollars.
I have used ChatGPT at work to strengthen and refine formal letters. I have used it to create logos for a large symposium. I also used it a few months ago to create an image we were going to use in a fishery management profile. I asked it to create an image of a black drum feeding over an oyster reef with Spartina marsh on the right of the image. It created the first very detailed, very lifelike image below. I then told it to create an image of a black drum feeding over an oyster reef with Spartina marsh on the right of the image and to make sure the fish was in the water and it came up with the second image. Even though AI did the work, a human still needs to know enough to provide proper guidance and articulate exactly what they want.

Reading thru the responses, this was what I was about to ask. What direction do you steer kids these days? My kids will be entering high-school in the coming years. It's time to start thinking about things.
So far it seems ai is helping people write better letters (more grammatically correct), draw, and draft. It seems it can quickly gather information from multiple sources. Although the info can be incorrect at times.
Since I am retired what concerns me is how AI is going to affect my retirement account. You could argue that all the unemployment could crash the market but you could also assume that since every business will improve then the market will roar. Anyone read or researched how the market will be affected in the next ten years because of the changes by AI?

Yes. Trump told us it will double shortly. Place your bets.

I have no idea how businesses laying off people due to efficiencies from ai (which is just in its infancy and will start compounding exponentially) will ever improve the economy. Unless there is some unforeseen new sectors that emerge from all this I could see a depression and chaos more likely than a positive. Who cares how efficient your business is if you have no customers.

I have zero idea what to think about a computer that can compute, draw things, write things, create on screen images, etc. faster than any human. Not bothered by that.
But when that thing figures out how to create and build robots…. That can fix the power grid and mine the fuel needed to sustain the power grid, It’s on. And we are the underdog.
Where’s that Conner lady when you need her. No joke!

I’d love to see 3D printing in construction of buildings.
Think one dude with a hoe and skid steer, they work 24/7 automated. Then a rig sets up and splatters out your foundation and walls in one or two pours and you go from sod to roughed in, in a week?
I could see farm machinery shrinking dramatically because it can also work 24/7. Chemicals could go away with automated weeders. Compaction goes away, etc.
There was a plan to open a fully automated beef processing plant in South Dakota. I can’t find if it actually happened.

The question remains, what will the owners of this technology do with it? Will they advance the cause of humanity or not. So far, most points to not. No advances in human health outcomes, no advances in nutritional content of food, no advancements in the cost of living, no advancements in truth, human knowledge and development, severe regression in liberties, and an ever tightening grip on the human subconscious.

Planned AI-Driven South Dakota Meat Packing Plant Raises More Questions Than Answers - Vision Times
A planned AI-driven meat packing plant in South Dakota that would see 8,000 head delivered daily via train and import 2,500 workers raises many questions.

I thought we’d have affordable personal aircraft by now, just like we had ATV’s decades ago. Why do I not have my own Honda helicopter to automatically deliver me to my cabin while I nap or watch a movie?
No, instead, to advance all these causes, we’re going backwards. The savviest among us are brining back centuries old technology and nutrition to undo a century of bullshit science.

Guy on the radio yesterday recognized how everyone is nervous about change. He said something to the affect of while everyone is worried that their piece of the pie will get smaller, the pie will be a lot bigger.
He did seem to think it was going to change everything.
BTW, last year about this time he predicted Dow would be 50,000 by the end of the year. Missed by a little over a month, lol. 57,000 was his prediction for this year. He usually predicts the S&P but for some reason did the Dow starting last year.

AI will probably be a net positive for our economy. It's just technology. We can use it for good or evil. If we use AI to make workers more productive, great. If we use AI to let the government spy on our private lives, not so great.
The economic implications are mostly positive. The social implications seem dangerous. The same can be said for any technological milestone: electricity, internet, nuclear fission, printing press, etc. Think of YouTube. Do you use it to learn new skills, or do you use it to spread hate and misinformation?
Technology is inherently neutral. What matters is how we, as a society, choose to use it.

My neighbor has a helicopter. I don't have one because I can't afford one. Some day I would like to have a float plane so I can explore the untouched wilderness of Northern Canada. I have 4 pilots in my family, but they all got priced out of personal aircraft.
AI driven automobiles and aircraft are even more expensive. You can have it if you're willing and able to pay for it.

Elon is most likely correct white collar jobs will go the way of the dinosaurs first and as robotics advances blue collar jobs will also disappear. The government will likely have to hand out a stipend of some sort to the masses the middle class will mostly disappear completely and there will only be the very wealthy and the rest of us poor folks. I really don’t know what to have my kids go to collage for at this point shit will be changing very quickly moving forward. Buy all the real estate you can be that farm ground or houses people will still need to eat and a place to live. The future of large corporations owning all the real property may very well come to fruition.
