Being fascinated by ai and angling at it as a digital marketer, I think about this quite often.
For now, I use the tools to do some data collection for me and assemble industry specific social media content and trends. As easy as it is to get involved and use the tools, it baffles me to think people haven’t leveraged them yet.
In a similar vein, I see certain old dog business owners allowing their businesses to become irrelevant, invisible or obsolete because they “don’t like social media”. Blame the tough market or the young people or something beside themselves. Too bad you transformed from a resourceful and adaptive entrepreneur into just a business owner.
All projections I see feel like they are missing some evolution of society and humanity in their immediate leap from wooden grammar and shitty obvious images to complete domination of all things productive. I will try and learn and keep up and harness it as it evolves better than my competition and have that be my competitive advantage til it is not.
What concerns me more than people looking for the easy way out of hard work to a purposeless and unfulfilling existence is the source of this ai. All these revolutionary anti establishment freedom signallers are diving right into bed with the corporations who are making this ai. The corporations that are bent on profit and shareholder value over everything.
It is an interesting time on so many levels and ai isn’t even close to what it will be. Just in its topical infancy. Just hoping we debate and speculate ourselves behind the 8 ball while we wait and see. So many things to consider as it evolves and bends in the road that aren’t even there yet.
We need a little decentralized ai like Singularity (or whatever it was called) exists as a decentralized way for us all to benefit.
