🖇️ After this .. another one from May last year. This one wasn’t as ‘finished, so tweaked a bit for clarity.
Separate question - what was going on in my life in May last year?
Just off a loooong web session with 50 or 60 very wise people talking about AI and ESG. Specifically ‘The Future of Sustainable Decisions in the Boardroom.’ Great session, and they are regular sessions, so ping me if you would like to join the next one.
It came up, so I will report … though I have said this before AND I am going to keep saying it in different ways.
AI used to be about being the best. If the chess program couldn’t beat a grand master then clearly it wasn’t very good. And then it was - so then they said what about ‘GO’ … it never won - and then it did. Clearly AI doesn’t work - until it does.
But this stuff is new.
Yes - it doesn’t write like Stephen King or paint like Monet .. but most of us don’t and …
AND that’s not the point.
The point is that it can write better than the average person.
So (to begin with ) only the below average people will be replaced.
Problem 1 - ask anyone how good they are at anything - they will ‘generally’ see themselves as ‘better than average’.
Problem 2 - statistically - 50% of those people are wrong.
Problem 3 - a substantial part of the population can’t see it coming.
This video is more recent and is an ad - been circulating in places like the book of faces - but makes for a good two minute watch and relates.
