The year of generative AI, for sure.
I have never seen anything take over everything like LLMs did over the year. There are so many things going on in that space on all fronts that I can barely keep up.
Know for instance that full body deepfake humans in videos, at different freaking angles, are a thing now. Or that realistic 3D animation can be made from a single image. You know AI voices are extremely good now, right? Copilot on Windows 11 is impressive. And all those things are developing and improved on at an absurd velocity.
I could see that once the AI chips announced recently are used at high scale with the latest algorithm improvements and data, we’re going to break through something.
There are two main currents these days in tech about AI:
“great, a personal assistant for anyone, democratization of knowledge and increase of freedom, how awesome!!”
or
“AI is going to kill us all.”
I’m neither. I’m more like “the incentive for capitalism is to use the shit out of AI, therefore every single market out there is going to be massively impacted resulting in constant layoffs and more frightening, a lot less hiring.” Which is already happening, after barely 12 months of ChatGPT.
It’s impossible to see what it will be in five years. But I can safely say, be ready to be happy with not much. Get closer to nature, y’all.
