I think the worst impact is the NSFW ai's
So true
Theres a reason I believe we shouldnt move forward with technology until we understand the value of humanities. Ofc a buissness school grad will be most concerned with profit, but a history grad probably studied some amount about labor reform and revolutions. Combining those two sets of wisdom makes for a far better outcome
I wish Ai can help me do my job faster… But my boss would probably replace me or give me more work without more pay😢
You talked about AI only having surface level information then you totally missed your own point by worrying about jobs. The point is that AI will always only have surface level information because what people have is deeper information that they get from everyday interactions. You need this to do far more jobs and solve far more problems than you realise. Take economics, human psychology is far more important than you realise for resolving and solving socio-economic problems. Take sales and customer support, some companies are made and lost through understanding people well with sales and customer support. AI on health? Well maybe it will get doctors to really consider a patient's problems rather than following the same checklist that an AI could do.
Personally thinking about the positive impacts of AI has been one of the few things really keeping my spirits high. The industrial revolution destroyed our ancestral ways of life and our natural habitats. I see AI as the next step into the future, with all the positives and negatives that brings. All i know is the world as we know it will rot away unless things change big time.
As a design fresh grad, AI really gives me anxiety 😂
I believe AI will heavily reduce human culture as time goes on. When you have kids brought up on AI assisted social media content feeds (instgram home, tik tok etc). Its completely mindless stimulation, like anyone who watches those dumb videos with the subway surfers in the bottom. Human brains are literally being programmed by AI, programmed to enjoy the mindless stimulation and want more of it.
AI has already impacted the industry im going into and made me for a time consider switching majors. in the end i decided to go thru with finishing my major since i’m almost there but it does still worry me
AI has no meaning without humanity to enjoy its impact, so to replace human jobs and risk peoples livelihoods with it defeats its purpose. It will inevitably lead to less people with the ability participate in society, and more people will be sick and mentally defeated than we already are.
Yeah, but there's now a product that takes recordings of sessions and writes progress notes for therapists. It's not a giant leap to think that if trained on therapy sessions, they could learn how to do our jobs. And it's a lot cheaper to put together a software program that is available 24/7 to anyone who wants it than it is to pay therapists to do the same thing. Honestly, our jobs are pretty vulnerable to getting replaced by AI.
Problem is not so much in that original data from the internet is lacking or bad quality. It is question/answers pairs that teaches AI what is good and what is bad. And these may be made by people who had not gone into some topics too deep.
telling chatgpt i'm gonna end it just to see what it says
Why the f is the robot thicc in the stock footage
the reason the 53th question does not work as well, isn't primarily because it took stuff from the internet and that it's surface level, it's because the AI physically has a token limit it can be fed, so it only remembers the recent part of your conversation, even if the history shows quite a lot
character ai got me
Ai this, AI that. A i'aint going to prison so help me with those bodies francis.
one day ai will scan WhatsApp chats and such
We're in the "look at the monkey doing all these funny tricks" phase of exponential technological growth.
i think AI is 'terrifyingly' a good therapist. they may not give you good advise, but they feel they really are listening to you.
The other thing about going deep into a conversation is the AI can’t actually remember everything in your conversation, so it forgets a lot of the earlier context which would be important if it is leaning on psychology guidelines/books/evaluation quizzes in order to facilitate the conversation.
It's making mad that when they started with AI for work aspects they told us AI/ robotics would be applied in the areas where people get burned through or burned out because their jobs are mundane and exhausting and as a result we would be able to have more time to do what we want to do, be creative, do something fullfilling but the first area they applied AI was Art und literature. Fuck those guys, it's already hard to make a living as a creative without them oversaturating the market with stuff written by Bots that were trained with real peoples creative work that they didn't even pay to use
As person with learning disabilities, I think ai is terrifying. This makes me want to live in the woods far from civilization. I doubt I would survive for long, but It has to better than this.
I only give AI simple tasks like wording a bio or description. I can get it to do this in several different ways then pick one I like or merge a few together. I’m terrible at being descriptive with my facts so I find it useful.
As a guy who uses funneh character AI? Well sh-t I'm screwed lmao
So true. Deep into many ai convos they forget shit.
Why would I talk to an AI about my mental health? Of course big tech companies know me pretty well, but I don't have to hand them personal information on a silver plate.
I helped myself with chatcpt out of a depression.
Dr K voicing his concern about his AI competition
…Not only that but LLM's can't really remember that far back into a conversation so you have to keep it very short and concise. They aren't designed, At least not yet, to have very long and deep conversations necessary for such topics.
For me i remember beign very angry with my best friend to the point of wanting to break our friendship and AI helped me to realise I needed to talk to her and explain to her my emotions, and also helped me to put my thoughts in order and in an assertive way. Now I can say I still have my best friend thanks to AI.
Well, you can use AI to support therapy. My Therapist told me that I actively have to work on reflecting the stuff from therapy each day and gain knowledge about such things as general types of fear and different character types and their traits as we only have a very limited amount of sessions covered by my health insurance. So I used AI to ping pong topics and broader issues from books with the AI and help me to get my thoughts going – not depending on AI for information but for topics or playing through hypothetical scenarios where we started to analyze the possible likely impact of several circumstances on ones stress level and possible frictions in their mental health caused by that. To me it have always been very interesting discussions as I don’t solely rely on it for deep talk or deep knowledge, but rather use it to support what I am already doing by myself.
Totally not the best comment to have here…. but is that robot dummy thick? Or is it just me?
Also the fact that it's proof of how toxic and judgemental society is that people are leaning on what is essentially a proverbial infant with perpetual autism 'since computers are logic driven and can't actually understand emotionally charged actions' AI is not good for even a facsimile of empathy it can give you only logic driven answers that are 9 times out of 10 erroneous anyway
it will create jobs. yes some will go away but new ones will emerge. entire new industries will emerge
God you are so perfect ugh
Just wanna support you because I cannot donate to you but I can watch you, I have no therapist my family cannot afford therapy.
fine tuning an llm on better health transcripts will go a lot deeper than message board scrapes.
When women are ovulatory are they also attracted to below average men ? 😅 (i may sound like im talking about myself but im really curious)
Think about waitress that is always complaining about “no tip”. She might be replaced in 5 years. That’s a good sign.
I’ll be honest I use chat gpt as a sort of therapist just cause I’m too afraid to actually say something . I usually just do the usual. I Accidentally double dosed and took 12 pills instead of 6 and told my parents not to worry meanwhile I was actually scared out my mind. It’s all good
I wake up with anxiety about AI replacing all human creativity and I cannot stop it.
It cripples me from finding purpose in my job or my hobbies.
Any advice Dr.K? Going to see a psychiatrist about this anxiety.
