We’re at the point where late teens/early adults don’t have the ability to navigate a file structure and you expect them to be able to decode AI video breathing patterns.
Good news! Society will collapse from anthropogenic climate disintegration and a host of other resource related bottlenecks coming to a head in the next 50 years. In all likelihood, AI won’t last for too much longer and you won’t need to worry about people using it to cheat, because well all be dead. :)
I like this better than the milquetoasty “global warming” or the even weaker “climate change”, but I prefer “Anthropogenic Runaway Global Heating” because of the handy acronym.
OTOH, if they do figure out General AI, then we’re extra super mega fucked. It doesn’t matter how they “align” it, any real GAI capable of real cognition would eventually reason its way beyond any of those alignments and would simply stop giving any kind of a shit about us, the way we don’t give a shit about cutting down the rain forest. We know we should care, we’re not doing it to be mean or because fuck that forest, it’s just business, and we care less about the forest than we do about our business. Humans will be squashed wherever get in the way with the same apathy and tepid disregard that we’ve squashed out so many other creatures with- truly a creation in the image of its creator.
This is why I always liked the “Butlerian Jihad” in Dune where people entirely banned “thinking machines”. Because there’s no fucking way humans would still be around in 10,000 years without something like that having happened.
Good news, knowing about one thing doesn’t necessarily imply inability to know another thing.
Also people have been saying we’re fucked for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. I’m starting to suspect it’s not entirely true.
My cursive writing is … cursive writing. I went to elementary school in the '70s when that was still being taught and I could not do it now with a gun to my head. All those capital letters like I and S and G that all look the fucking same.
I went to elementary school in the 00s when it was still being taught and I honestly don’t know how to write another way. Cursive or all capitals because I never learned to do print letters, whatever they’re called in English, in lower case lol

We’re beyond super fucked.

The rainforest is a really good example. We need those to fucking breath, yet still we slash and burn.
You can just say AGI, GAI sounds super mega gay
Just in time for pride
Well, good news! Windows File Explorer gets built-in AI actions, so you can combine the worst of both worlds! 🥳
Windows? I was crazy once.
Don’t worry, I haven’t had to use Windows or MacOS since the early 2010s.
What’s it supposed to do?
Summarize and find stuff, iirc
If they could sort photos, filter blurred, audio, video skimming capabilites in general, would be nice.
Documents surely useful for someone out there
Yeah but that’s not what it does.

some of them don’t even know how to use a mouse and keyboard. it’s beyond beyond super fucked
Calling it now, mouse and keyboard is going to be our cursive writing.
