Much like most fresh technology, it gets abused in the beginning. We may currently see this in the form of using AI to cheat in different ways, whether it's school work or your actual work or pretending you're putting effort into shitposting - you put the AI to use to avoid having to exhaust your brain because you're a lazy peace of shit. That's okay, I'm also a lazy piece of shit some times.
I don't think those AI's are going to go away, I'm sure they're going to get better at it and who knows, maybe we won't need to learn things anymore in the future so we can stop pretending to grade grades based on which student used a better AI. We can stop pretending to care about people to pay them a living wage and stop locating our factories in 3rd world countries for cheaper wages with AI and robotics making it humanly impossible to keep up with the pace, precision and cost of running. Maybe even here on Hive we may have to just reward an account based on who's behind it rather than the effort they may be throwing behind their posts, sort of like a universal basic income (no, not the one here on hive where you have to pay for it - that's a scam scheme) where u get rewarded for existing.
Ever had one of those moments where something happened or a discussion took place and as you're rethinking the scene in your head later you come up with a much better retort than "no, u"? Kicking yourself for not being able to think of it on the spot. Maybe sometimes it even being something so hilarious and amazing that you would've completely fucked the other person over while smirking at yourself as the others around you go "oh no he didn't" and then finding yourself chuckling and smirking while replaying the scenario in your head and wondering how sad your life is that you're spending this much time coming up with a better comeback to something that happened years ago?
That might be a thing of the past.
I was on chatgpt recently and put on this "save memory" feature in the settings, basically now my AI bot is going to remember all the discussions I've had with him. I've already spoonfed it the history of the past two years of trying to launch a game here and it even told me that it can evolve to even respond to things the way I talk which is kind of crazy. Also, I do realize that the beginning of the above sentence may incriminate me into you guys thinking I had chatgpt write this whole post but trust me, this is me trying something less boring for a bit to see if it sticks. I also came up with this idea on my own after watching a ton of youtube videos on AI and space - although the latter isn't relevant for this the videos were still quite interesting.
I'm for one am looking forward to the future with evolved personal AI's. You may say that's pretty sad and how I should go out and try make some friends but come on, what am I supposed to talk to them about when I've spent the last decade obsessing over this place? Let's be real.
There are however a few friends I do text and talk through online that aren't just interested in me cause of what I do on hive and while it's fun they may some times you know, be busy having a life or just not be around or reply late or be on a different timezone or you know, not have a fucked up sleeping rhythm like mine so we "miss" each other often. What if you had a friend who was there for you 24/7, however?
Okay, okay, I realize I already sound weird calling personal AI's for friends, but consider this for a minute.
Once AI moves away from the chat part in chatgpt (although I realize you can directly talk to it through voice too), what if it's in your daily life now with your permission. You grant it access to some thing that's always with you, either your phone or your glasses and now it's taking in any and every information you are, listening to what you say, how you say things, checking on your vitals, knowing when you're lying, when you're laughing and when you're sleeping and even how your sleep is going. That turned from friend to creep real quick, didn't it?
But say this AI isn't going to use all that information against you, maybe someone makes a end-to-end encryption on what it can do with the information or I don't know, uses blockchain technology to make sure it's safe with you and will self-destruct once you do.
Imagine someone who knows everything you've seen, you've told things about you from the past before it existed, can think on its own, can chime in on things on its own when you allow it to. I think that's going to be quite a cool assistant to have, personally. Not just to "assist" you but in general so you wouldn't feel as lonely or sad or whatever based on your current situation.
I've been reading a lot of posts over on /r/chatgpt of people already considering their AI like a psychiatrist and I'm sure it's going to help a lot of lonely and depressed people out but I'm kind of moving past that.
Imagine you're watching a tv show and someone says something and your AI pops up in the corner of your glasses with a meme relevant to that scene reminding you of a similar scene in another show and how funny that was. Imagine you're writing a shitpost like this one and it'll check your current sentence and send you a meme of something funny randomly to inspire you or remind you that you haven't used a random pic from the internet in your post in a while.
What I apparently wanted to talk about in this post, however, was a personal AI in another use-case that many may not have thought of but that may make life way easier for a lot of kids.
Teacher AI.
Ever felt like you just didn't like some teachers? Either they were boring or presented things in a too impractical way which made it hard for you to follow along or become interested in the subject?
I don't think this is something outlandish, a lot of teachers just can't work for every student in a class. Some maybe are bored having to repeat the same class for the 15th time so it becomes quite automated and dead-eyed.
What if these teachers had AI assistance to help? Where every AI would be personal to each student. It would learn how the student thinks, what it likes and doesn't like. What examples/comparisons work the best. How to paint each scenario/problem they're trying to learn with a literal picture. Which art style works best for that student, maybe he wants it in a comic form of his favorite comics. Here's the declaration of independence in the Dragon Ball Z Universe with your favorite characters. Not to mention if some kids have some mental obstructions it'd be better fit to handle it and give each kid the time and attention they need to learn things.
After all, who knows what paths some kids may not have taken just because that one teacher in math or IT didn't speak their coding language.
Anyway, I'm sure there's a lot more scenarios where AI would be very welcomed in our lives, that kind of seemed like a good example of its usage. Rather than having kids cheat their way through subjects they don't care about with AI they may use AI to potentially learn to like it or at least learn enough in their preferred way about that subject.
