A.I. Is Here! What's your opinion?

I don't know if this is true or if I really understand what I've heard on some discussions about it, but outside of just art, AI is set to begin a new phase of, like, super AI? If I understand, unlike past technology that moves at it's normal rate and advances over decades, AI will eventually explode into a exponentially "warp speed" advancement that could see it easily able to outmaneuver whatever "guardrails" humankind attempt to put in place for our own safety. The growth and the ability of AI will be so stunningly different in just 10, 20 years than it is now and continue at that rate. In other words, in our lifetime, it could be running us rather than the other way around.

Again, no idea if that is true, but I heard some "smart-sounding" people having that discussion.

“Humans won’t be needed for most things.” Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, (Bill) Gates said that within the next decade, AI will deliver expert-level services like medical advice and tutoring freely and at scale, making specialized human knowledge far less essential than it is today.

He calls this era one of “free intelligence,” where AI-powered tools become widely available and touch nearly every area of life, from healthcare and education to climate solutions and productivity.

Hi,

This is already happening ... the Internet is the "Mob Rules". And is fiddled and controlled by the media that is owned by ... one day we will wake up to that, and maybe do something about it!

Hi,

I think the real issue is that we can NOT define art well, beyond it being listed on top of everything else, and this was an issue 50 years plus ago, when in a philosophy class we had a discussion of what is art ... and in the end? No one could agree on anything, and no one could figure out what made "art" and what was important or not.

I think ... I THINK ... that the numbers, and quantity of ideas that the top stuff is more important, even if not true (hello Virgin years ago!!!!), but somehow we don't question it and instead ... go right along with it and help it along ... I'm not gonna fault Virgin too much beyond the colorful balls that prevented many artists from getting their due (and almost all of them left!!! But never got a penny for it!) ... and we didn't care then, but I will admit one thing ... there was no Internet then, but I don't remember MM or NME saying anything about it, either ... and they could have, which speaks a LOT, about who owned them in the first place ... they were not independent at all!

I'm OK with lots of things being amidst the ones that obviously sell a lot and get a lot of recognition, but after a while, I'm not sure that anyone can agree on how to define "art" when the one you like best is listed at the top, and not as an art at all!

AI is going to be here, as long as we allow it all to be ruled and controlled by the commercial powers that be ... after all, they are the ones replacing humans, though I suppose we could say the same thing about wars!!! But, we don't care anymore, I don't think.

AI would not be here if we did our civic duty (specially in America) and made the votes count to remove the folks that don't ... not only ... not believe in the arts ... but spend their time killing them by cutting out the funding, which has been happening more and more since the Reagan years in America. But, look ... another of those folks is in there, and he just cut off even more stuff from PBS and NPR, and Sesame Street and a lot of children's stuff, is going to get lost ... do those rich folks care? I don't think so! The same thing happens in a couple of states here ... in another dimension ... but it continues after many years of the same thing ... and somehow those shows keep on coming out and living again ... just like the movies in America bringing back the same old everything, from zombies, to westerns, to musicals ... as if those older folks are the only ones that could appreciate it all ... but our generation has given up ... and we will be doing EXACTLY the same thing on other choices!

History and education is there for some learning, except that it is not favorable to some that want to win the elections and we would rather be stupid in some places, than do something about it!

The internet, is helping keep us silly in many ways, and confused and having no idea of what is what ... is a major part of it all ... everyone is a star and famous and has something to say, meaningful or not, but then, just like here on PA, no one cares much about "meaning" I often think ... and you don't think that is AI, right there?

I don't like A.I. at all, and consider it a threat; it is not the real world! Even my favourite group is being affected; there are Triumvirat videos where the mouse is coming out of his egg shell and walking around, and also moving around inside his light bulb...what utter nonsense! (and you know i am a staunch Triumvirat fan)

       With A.I. pervading things, there is too much of a temptation to "rewrite history", and that, my friends, is scary....

It is a tool liker no other, the trick is having the tool serve your purpose rather than serving the tool.

Ive been listening to savior machine a lot for the past 5-6 years and purposefully recorded an album that ai would have a hellish time pantomiming. Basically to explore the most un machine-like aspects of creation.
