The Proliferation of AI (a chart)

 

AI is not really Artificial Intelligence... Yet...

While today's chatbots aren't really "artificial intelligences" because they're not thinking, sentient entities that truly know and understand the world as humans do, a generative AI chatbot "can look at a stream of words and figure out what the person is trying to say, and respond to that prompt or that request,"

Some Generative AI Chatbots include:

• Google Bard
• Claude
• Character
• ChatGPT
• Microsoft CoPilot
• Dall.e (Text to Images)
• Pika (Text to Video)

But most Americans (82%) haven't even tried ChatGPT and over half say they're more concerned than excited by the increased use of AI in their daily life, according to the Pew Research Center. Researchers there have started identifying jobs that may be affected in some way by generative AI. They include budget analysts, tax preparers, data entry keyers, law clerks, technical writers and web developers. Think roles whose tasks include "getting information" and "analyzing data or information," Pew said.

"Despite significant uncertainty around the potential of generative AI, its ability to generate content that is indistinguishable from human-created output and to break down communication barriers between humans and machines reflects a major advancement with potentially large macroeconomic effects," Goldman Sachs' economists concluded.

"You should at least try [these tools] to get some idea beyond the news headline of what they can and can't do," said David Carr, a senior insights manager at Similarweb. "This is going to be a big part of how the internet changes and how our whole experience of work and computing changes over the next few years."
