Someone who is that involved and desiring to learn will get an A even without help, and someone who is not will not care enough beyond "do my homework for me".

Best to just shoot these pesky meat eaters in the name of saving the planet, right? /s

Think it’s much more likely meat eaters would be the ones doing the killing.

Please chatGPT, write an OS, a spreadsheet and a word processor. Bug free btw. Now Microsoft has no business ? People realize it’s not that easy right ?

ChatGPT can do all of those things the same way it responds to prompts: by stealing the answers from other people.

If ChatGPT weren't just remixing and regurgitating billions of hours of work by other people, it would be unimpressive.

Actually this AI should be called « synthesized work of human intelligence ». Because that’s all that it is. It’s created by us, feed by our intelligence and knowledge and is « usable » by our specie only and has no meaning by itself. So it’s just like any other powerful tool, if should be regulated asap.

While I am not worried about my situation (and I expect most HN readers will not be either) anyone familiar with the types of corporate thinking behind business process re-engineering or digital transformation will see the streamlining and redesign potential coming online near term.. Couple that with the long term shifts in work patterns accelerated by the pandemic and with the shifts in capital markets that are starting now and will play out over the likely deployments of the next few generations of generative model based systems and there seems to be a lot of downsizing potential throughout large sectors of current business employment.

What do you do for work?

A machine can already run better, fly better, play chess better than me... how does that affect me? Zero.

"Architect systems and database tables from user stories in seconds"...haha, no. This only works for simplistic problems that we got as students to solve on paper during a 2h exam back in the day.

Realistic problem from my own workplace: "Ok, ChatGPT, write clock- cycle exact embedded C code for checking in less than 5ms if firmware on this ARM is working correctly with the sensor described in datasheet.pdf. Detect and implement countermeasures for any EM interference issues due to cable length. Implement it in a generic way so it can work with Atmel and NXP microcontrollers. There is a bug that caused the sensor to sometimes return wrong values when using the system on a Kuka xyz robot, please debug."

... yeah, I'm still waiting.

"A lot of the world is able to walk, so people don't need wheel chair access in buildings". "A lot of the world is male/female, so people don't need made up genders and surgery". ... sounds great, huh?

Anyway, where does this "people don't need X" stop, though? You also don't need oat milk, tofu, soy, peas, etc. to survive.

Let's just go back to foraging for roots and berries and see what population size we can sustain!

Absolutely agree! Well, they had to scramble to spin up something fast, it's the best they could do.

"I agree this probably shouldn't be here..."

And yet, here it is ;) This whole "asked GPT, here's what it said" spiel is getting old already.

Forget AGI, just make a robot that can fold laundry. I'll be here waiting :)

Then I guess I can ethically pirate anything I want, since I'm not "stealing the money from a human creator" anymore, huh?
