In my useless opinion, most people are not aware of how big AI is and how bigger it will be in 3~5 years. It's not worthy to be worried about it, because it will be a global problem, but there are people who are completely blind about it


Nobody is aware, but neither are you. We may as well have plateaued already. You don't know that.


Even if that is the case, the current models are already revolutionary. We would spend years discovering all the capabilities of these things. And that is considering that the plateau would last for years. And I didn't say that nobody is aware. There are some people that follows the breakthroughs and model releases (in my life), and they agree with me


I don’t think we're anywhere near the plateau. AI is still expensive and slow. Make it realtime, local and nearly-free and you got a problem.


> It's not worthy to be worried about it, because it will be a global problem

Like hunger and diseases are global problems not to be worried about.


I think they meant more along the lines of "This narrow problem today is not worth worrying about, because soon it will be a larger and bigger problem. "


That's still a silly argument though

How about we worry about this smaller problem today so the bigger problem tomorrow is less big. Or doesn't materialize at all?

Do we have to sleepwalk off this cliff?


I agree with you, but have you tried talking to people in real life about it? Almost nobody cares. If someone asks about it, I give them what I believe. I don't want them to take my words as truth, but I hope that it makes them research something, at least. If you are luck enough, 5% of people will do that, and the conversation will be possible.

Tech people give you better odds, but you still will find that most believe that AI is useless for something that you know that it's totally capable of doing. Damn, the last one I talked said that "Fable can't even do React"
