Reply to comment by PrivateLudo in With all the AI breakthroughs and IT advancements the past year, how do people react these days when you try to discuss the nearing automation and AGI revolution? by AdditionalPizza

That was what surprised me. And the amount of people that say "never" as in not even 100 years, just NEVER.

I feel like if you'd specifically said "will A.I. art create stuff indistinguishable from human art" even six months ago, hell, maybe even two months ago, they'd likewise cry about how it's a century plus away.

Yet we have such A.I. art NOW.

Fuck, post a poll somewhere that isn't savvy on the topic, and I bet they'd STILL say so, despite the insanely quality work that some A.I. art generators have managed to put out.

To say nothing of the people who'd decry the reality we now embrace as an impossible fantasy.

I honestly worry for their sanity when the singularity comes about. The folks who see this stuff as impossible aren't ready for so much as the next half a dozen years of progress, much less a decade from now.

Then maybe we will have a population reduction?

Just in the last two years, AI has been progressing at lightspeed rate. In 2020, I never thought an AI could be able to create incredible artworks with just a few text prompts but here we are.

GPT-1 was released in 2018 and was nowhere near the power of GPT-3. Thats only 4-5 years between those.
