I don’t believe the billionaire dream of robot slaves is going to work nearly as soon as they’re promising each other. They want us to buy into the dream without telling us that we’d never be able to afford a personal robot, they aren’t for us. They don’t want us to have them. The poors are slaves, they don’t get slaves. It’s all lies, we’re not part of the future we’re building for them.
No, churning out uncanny valley slop built on mass IP theft ain’t it, either. Personally I think AI is best used for simulations and statistical models of engineering problems, where it can iteratively find optimized solutions faster and sometimes more accurately than humans. The focus on “generative AI” and LLMs trying to get computers to act like humans is incredibly pointless, IMO. Let computers do what computers are good at, and humans do what humans are good at.
LLMs are an incredible interface to other systems. Why learn a new system language to get information’s when you can use natural language to ask and the AI will translate into the system language and do the lookup for you and then translate the result into natural language again. The important part is, the AI never gives an answer to your question itself, it just translates between human language and system language.
Use it as a language machine and never as a knowledge machine!
Which is why it should only be used for art.

It shouldn’t be used for art, hire an artist or learn to make it yourself.
