My two cents as someone who's not in IT and not doing well in life.

Whatever happens, happens. Nothing I do will change anything about this. If it's as disruptive as you've described, I know my Government will do something to prevent massive job losses.

I don't see this as the end of the world, and frankly, my life is shitty enough without Chat-GPT.

Again, what can I do about it? This reminds me of listening to TWIV, a podcast about virology, about COVID before it hit my country and being like "it's going to be bad, but there's nothing I can do about it".

Once it hits, we'll see from there.

Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. I’m confused tho; when hearing about COVID one could go buy a mask before they’re all sold out, and when hearing about AI one could make an effort to, say, get trained in a profession not likely to be eliminated/fundamentally remade by the revolutAIn.

These are just examples, but speaking broadly, is that a worthwhile pursuit in your eyes? I’ve long been having this debate/crisis about the rising tide of fascism worldwide, and have been trying to apply the same framework to AI.

Here's the thing, what does training in AI mean for the average layperson who's not in IT?

Also, my point about COVID was exactly the fact that when I first heard of it around the end of January '20, and how bad it could potentially be, there were no masks available to buy already, heck, we did not know it was an almost fully airborne virus then.

What if you could lean on ChatGPT and do any skilled job in your society?

Then that'd be... Incredible, but I very much doubt that is the case. Remember we live in the era of accreditation trumping merit. I'm not even saying it's a bad thing, just the name of the game.
