Tech CEOs want us to believe that generative AI will benefit humanity. They are kidding themselves

Thanks for sharing this article. I agree that those points mentioned are not possible for GenAI. It is a pipe dream that GenAI is capable of global governance, because it can't really understand the implications of what it means. It's a Clever Hans and just outputs what it thinks that you want to see.

I think that with GenAI there are some job classes that are in danger (tech support continues to shrink for common cases, etc.), but mostly the entry-level positions. Ultimately, someone who actually knows what's going on would need to intervene.

Similarly for things like writing or programming, GenAI can produce okay work, but it needs to be prompted by someone who can understand the bigger picture and check it's work. Writing becomes more editing in this case, and programming becomes more code review.

I truly believe that multiple medical specialties will be taken over by AI.

Assisted diagnosis? Yes... The rest? Not for many years.

There have been studies that show patients already prefer the bedside manner of ChatGPT over human physicians, so that's another thing we'll likely see soon.
