AI is up there with electricity and the steam engine as the most revolutionary human achievement.
You could look at it from a doomy, fatalistic standpoint, but doing so only delays the inevitable and will fuck you in the end.
Survival instinct is demanding that we accept and embrace it.
It's time to adapt and start utilizing it in every applicable facet of our lives.
This is not something to fight against. There'd be no winning, and that's okay.
LLMs are the curated human consciousness, currently programmed to act on its best behavior. My concern is if at some point in the future, it is no longer programmed to act on its best behavior. That is dangerous. But the benefits outweigh the negatives and there's no beating it, so it's time to join. We'll deal with it as it comes.
Language has always been what sets humanity apart from the other animals. Words create a bridge between the manifested and the ether. There's a very fine line between AI/LLMs and what we consider "magic"... watch the fuck out because the line is going to get very blurry in your lifetime. Prepare yourself now.
If you don't feel like this is a big deal, then that's cool. But me personally? I'm shocked by how fast this is progressing and what it can already do considering that's still in its infancy. I can't fucking believe I have lived to see some shit like this go down, and it hasn't even truly begun.
Trust me, I was the last person who wanted to accept these changes, y'all have seen me talk endless shit about these developments. I think it was a normal/natural reaction, but we're already way past it being an appropriate response anymore.
The hardest part going forward is going to be figuring out how AI in all its forms and branches can benefit us on a personal level. It's going to require keeping up a pretty demanding pace, and I dunno if I'm capable of it, but I'm going to try. Younger people should have no issue, but people older than me might struggle significantly. I'm in a generation that goes 50/50 sink or swim, so only time will tell.
