  • Locked in a room with an internet connection? A lot. But without any contact with the outside world? Not nearly as much. It could have other people running experiments for it with an internet connection, but not without one.

    Anyway, whether or not the AGI can interact with the real world undermines the purpose of my explicit statement in the question. I specifically mentioned that it only operates as a human on a computer. I didn’t mention it could acquire a physical body, so let’s just assume it can’t and can’t use other people to do physical labor either.

    An Entire Generation is Studying for Jobs that Won’t Exist

    AI is taking over a lot of jobs, now it is coming for the writers who wrote about “machines taking over the world.”

    By Mohit Pandey

    TLDR: The increasing capabilities of AI are making many jobs obsolete, including those that require coding. Hollywood writers are protesting the use of AI in scriptwriting, as they believe it diminishes their role and creativity. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is negotiating proper attribution and copyright issues regarding generative AI technology. Some argue that computer science degrees will become more important as understanding AI systems will be crucial. However, economists suggest that AI will displace jobs over time rather than causing instant mass unemployment. The need for humans to be trained in AI to be unbiased and proficient is emphasized. The disruption caused by AI is evident in layoffs across various industries. The potential of AI to eliminate jobs is a concern, but others believe it can create new job opportunities. IBM, for example, has announced it will replace 7,800 roles with AI. The future of jobs remains uncertain, but instead of rejecting AI, industries should consider incorporating it to enhance their work.
