I'm afraid the days are numbered.
Just when we thought the robots were taking away all the menial labor jobs, and they will. The A.I.s are going to replace all the knowledge workers and 'creatives'.
I'm seeing the glimpse of this new and rapid future and good gawd, what I can do with an A.I. assistant is mind boggling.

Yeah, its pretty impressive how much they can do...about a decade ago - at one gig, I set up a few "Agents" (all named "Smith"  ) who took care of the remote sites, and each one pulled a legit day's labor. They didn't eliminate any positions, but they sure made my day easier!

Isn't news for many...
Many in Hell Desk jobs already just read scripts and nothing else. And Not just IT Hell Desks.
Even if they know a fix they can't tell you because all calls are recorded and must follow the script for X problem.
Example: own a Cable Modem on any service not just Comcast and have to "update" firmware... Hell Desk staff say they can't help ignoring the ISP Must Approve All Modem "ROMs" and only they install them. Netgear and all others Can Not update any modems and most or all Gateways w/ builtin modems.
Is why I tell people buy a modem and router separately because can get updated ROMs from the makers or in some cases can use DDwrt Openwrt etc. on the router.
Many "web chats" on utilities and bank web sites have bots not people answering your Q and been so for years.
Big reason Hell Desk have people is only because computers still have huge problems in Speech to Text. Ignore Nuance/Dragon marketing crap that fails many people before added problems for disable users. ------------------
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

This is actually an area that I'm currently involved in. I manage a team of AI/ML researchers. I don't say that to make myself sound fancy, but just want to put into perspective what my thoughts are on this. While NLPs and other ML algorithms can produce "creative" work... such as art and / or writing... it's important to understand that all of this comes from a machine learning model that is based on already existing data. It cannot create something new... as in an entirely new concept. Like for example... if you were asking an AI system to create a new movie... it can only create it based on concepts that exist from existing movies. That's not to say that it can't create content... but it'll always, always be something based on something else, or a collection of "somethings."
Certainly, if it did manage to create something that we perceived as totally new, it would be purely by accident because it still would have been based on prior associations of data (likely in a knowledge graph or however the datalake the learning model was derived from).
Remember that there's never, ever, any kind of cognitive thought there. So if in the future an AI robot decides to kill you, you can rest assured it would be doing it without any malice and you shouldn't take it personally.

A learning model certainly derives new inferences through user interaction and / or changes in data... but my argument specifically is on the comment about the "creatives." An AI cannot generate anything other than replication of existing creativity. It can draw associations in a knowledge graph, and mix creativity from different sources based on other inferences... but it does not have independent thought. I think AI is fantastic... but I just think it's important for people to realize that sentience... at least from my experience, is anything that we'll ever be able to see.
We should all be very concerned though, that OpenAI is building it's learning models off of social media.

ChatGPT is the real deal. And to think this is only version 3, with version 4 to be released this quarter.
ChatGPT is only one offering in a suite of them. Jukebox and Muse will create music. Dall-E for images. Whisper for speech recognition and more.[This message has been edited by Wichita (edited 01-17-2023).]
