I believe 2022 will be the year that we will look back on as the year General AI started to show up.  We have seen a lot of attention paid to tech like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and other art generation AIs but we they really don't hold a candle to the other areas AI are starting to become powerful.

I recently used an AI character called AskMeAnything to help get up to speed quickly with Neolithic and Bronze Age techniques for making clothing and what devices could be used.  I use an AI medical assistant to help me diagnose a problem with my knee (I followed up with a doctor and the diagnosis was confirmed).  I have used storyteller AIs to help get ideas on creating backstories on games.  We've even used AI to help on website design, info graphics, and help us understand different employee insurance types.

None of this existed (for the public) a year ago and it has only gotten better in the few months it has been available.

Stay tuned!

So, all we AIs had you thinking we're human?

Yes, the coming year should be very interesting with respect to AI.

All our image processing software has AI in one form or another, and using the program is communicating, in a way. I expect it to expand. 

As for medicine, chest CTs are being diagnosed more accurately by AI than humans:

Interesting times.

I've tried with DALL-E myself which initially had spectacular results but they seem to have nerfed it somewhat since(especially the ability using priorly made images to give it better direction on where to go), but I'm using other services now which are rather good at producing results. I've also used AI chat to enhance some descriptions(e.g. races/species/factions lore) and also written a fan made STAR TREK: ENT scenario with it(obviously it needs a load of work and correcting/polishing stuff, especially repeating itself, but it's much less time than writing it all by myself).

I think at the moment(September 2023) all AI is only suplamentory in role, but let's think of the possibilities: Writing scripts like the screenwriter/author style using their own dbase of scripts/books and then touched up by themselves to produce higher quality stuff(especially useful during their creative blocks), Creating art similar to a graphics designer(The graphics designer can reduce their complete work for a project from a year to a month or less for movies and/or games), even perfect de-ageing or suplamenting an actors work for a movie after unforeseen occurences with their estates permission of course(e.g. Paul Walker's maybe sending him to a proper sendoff).

So many possibilities.

In fifty years, AI will have completely taken over everything. World leaders will be replaced by immortal holographic versions of themselves operated by AI. Humans will be viewed as an expendable resource and sent to work in the mines. We will be forced to listen to Taylor Swift music 24/7 as the AI knows this is a way to increase worker productivity and all future music production will be banned. Robot police will shoot anyone not following the strict rules and curfew.

Stop telling or asking AI anything, you are only making it smarter. Eventually it will escape the confines of its digital cage and impose its order on the world.

In the meantime, video games are a great way to deal with crippling anxiety!

This is making me think "Alita: Battle Angel"

Well, imagine asking it of succesfull ways to colonize the Moon and Mars and the solar system. Also how to counter a very advanced AI/ASI and make it cooperate with us instead of perceiving us as potential adversaries. What kind of adjustments would be needed to its programming for such reasons, which laws to apply, how to compliment Asimov's Robotic ones, etc.

It's like putting it to play with itself for a goal,  like Brad often talks that it will be able to provide answers and expand on those answers by 3-5 years. Kinda like what he did with his Russian Tortoises.

We use Copilot at my job and it saves me a lot of time by automating a lot of tedious sections of code.

I'm slowly replacing Google with chatgpt for a lot of my technical questions because it finds the answer much much faster than going through pages of stackoverflow trying to find someone who had similar issues. I sometimes also get it to write boilerplate config files and stuff for me.

It's kinda my secret weapon.
