    Autonomous kill bots that hallucinate children carrying guns.

      Shouldn’t have trained them exclusively on American children

    There will be an explosion of AI services like ChatGPT that do exactly the same thing but much cheaper. They’ll run FOSS AI models that didn’t cost them billions of dollars to train and run on purpose-built hardware (i.e. not GPUs). “Big AI” will pivot to government contracts.

    As that fifth year comes around, companies will be announcing products that have these purpose-built chips inside them that can do a whole heck of a lot of stuff without requiring a constant connection to the Internet. Think: Toys, appliances, and very fancy cars.

    Every single piece of software will have been rewritten by AI so many times with so many clones it’ll be hard to distinguish good stuff from bad. The situation will become so problematic that every app store/repo will insist upon some kind of supply chain certification and possibly 3rd party verification.

    AI tools that search the Internet on behalf of the user will crush ad-based businesses like Google and Meta. The AI will automatically filter out the ads and other cruft from search results and return just the search results the user wanted in the first place. This will result in free search engines becoming even worse and paid search will become a necessity. It’ll probably get incorporated into plans like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc bundled plans where you pay for a certain amount of photo storage/whatever and get premium search as last of the bundle.

    My thoughts, ended up being longer than I meant, but here:

    Paying attention to the loudest voices, you will think we’ve split into two societal groups: those who use AI and think it’s absolutely perfect and will save humanity (“sheep”), and those who deny it has any uses whatsoever, is morally abhorrent, and is going to end mankind, either through war or through decay (“luddites”).

    Most people will be in the middle. We will slowly learn what LLMs are good at doing, and what’s it bad at doing, and it’ll be messy. People will lose their jobs, but then some companies will realize that AI can’t actually replace those people, and some services/products will get dramatically worse/enshittified. Others will begin making a living through the use of AI, some adding great value to society and others just creating slop that a small but big enough fraction of the masses will consume to keep it around. People who are smarter at separating the good from the bad will laugh at both the luddites and the sheep.

    One or two AI companies will fail and there will be massive turmoil and fallout for them. But most will either slowly reduce expectations or succeed moderately over time. Generalized AI will turn out to be way harder than some thought, and consciousness a way bigger leap from LLMs than predicted. There will be a loud push to implement safeguards, and it will be mostly ignored by politicians. However, there will be some progress on energy and water concerns, leading to large differences between countries/US states in terms of regulation. AI will turn out to be mostly bad for kids.

    There will be several huge successes - a huge medical cure/vaccine, or an amazing technological invention/improvement, probably some kind of multi-disciplinary discovery. The people who drive it to completion will acknowledge it wouldn’t have occurred without AI, but humans were mostly responsible, but the media will claim that AI invented it out of whole cloth. There will also probably be some high-profile failures, like car crashes or critical server outages, maybe even leading to deaths. Luddites will seize upon them as if they’re apocalypses, and sheep will dismiss them as anomalies. The truth will be in-between. Most people’s lives will not change drastically.

    AI-Chip in all new devices that have low-level access overriding the entire OS and editing your photo album to gaslight you.

      all have the option to connect to the internet

      Hey and soon in NY that means you’ll need to have your face scanned or give your government ID to your microwave or you won’t be allowed to use it!

      Yay future! … /wrist

    GenAI has already trained on the entirety of human content, and it still screws up basic inquiries. I think it will get worse as it cannibalizes its own hallucinated data and the problem of hallucinations gets worse as a result.

    The US will not regulate, but regulations originating from international jurisdictions will roll downhill to some extent and for the bad actors in the US to establish some guard rails.

    I think the most significant change in GenAI will be social. People’s poverty and isolation is only getting worse, and it’s likely there will be an economic crash due to the concentration of wealth in this sector and its failure to deliver on its promises; However, there is genuine demand for frictionless relationships and that is one thing generative AI does very, very well. In a decade these models will have artificial bodies and people will be literally publicly dating their AI companions.

    Dumb people repeatedly pushing the “regenerate” button until they get a different result without understanding what they’re fundimentally doing.

    And caste of tech shamen who do. People who remember how computers work. How infrastructure is put together to support the soup.

    How it is now but a little better.

    Some stuff boosters claim it can do will actually be doable (it might actually be able to write decentish code for example, which TBH is just taking what it does now and wrapping it in some basic checks to make sure the code works and they aren’t hallucinating shit).

    It’ll be widely adopted in its accountability dodging function

    oh oops we bombed a school full of girls, it’s not our fault AI told us to)

    oh we burned the company to the ground by firing the people who actually for work done, AI’s fault

    Etc

    But I don’t know how widely it’ll be used if users start paying the actual costs instead of all the AI companies being subsidized by investors losing money.

    If it keeps going the way people expect, pretty good apparently.

    Now what comes from “everyone” (who can afford) having a pretty good assistant, I don’t know. More single owner businesses with AI managing the business and you providing the service/product? Specific information sellers, if you can produce the kind of information that other services need, like a local meteorological station and then selling its data? Another recession from a big lack of income, since many knowledge jobs will be cut?

    I’m hoping for a lot less bureaucracy and speedy/simplified processes (Government and others).

    Maybe AIs will talk to AI in a need - supply chain, where your AI will access all the available AIs promoting services/products and select the best one for the need and you get a summary of what needs to be done.

    Don’t know, still can’t figure it out.
