The Gates of Hell
It's here! It’s finally here. The last apex of the ride. We knew there had to be one; every ride does. But here we are. The whole ride had led to this final drop.
Artificial Intelligence has reached a point of no return, Pandora’s box has been opened. You may have heard about MidJourney AI, creating art in the style of any artist alive or dead. But a new Lord of AI has opened its dormant eye. Enter ChatGPT, an AI system that can answer any question you may have, or create a play about war written in the style of Winnie-The-Poo. The tool has already been restricted from schools, crafty kids using it to write essays and draft book reports. Even offices have restricted its use with the recent use of AI to help programmers solve complex problems during remote interviews.
This AI has proven so revolutionary that the once immortal company google is feeling the pressure. Google upon seeing its massive success is racing to develop its own AI to help with its google searches. Google is mad, their actions saying, “We were supposed to bring an end to the working class, not you”. So here we are at a crossroads of competition. Google attempting to catch up to pioneer ChatGPT, and ChatGPT trying to further develop to be smarter, faster, and more encompassing in an attempt to stay competitive. The end of this foot race. The end of humans.
As the corporate giant Google gobbles up market share of the AI space, you will see more jobs be replaced with AI. This is nothing new, of course. We have seen self-checkout by the dozen replace two lanes of cashiers at Walmart. But those were manual jobs. We are going to see a new wave of “cerebral” jobs (as “cerebral” as real estate agents and the like can be) begin to be replaced. People who once thought their jobs immune are now in the crossfire. Lawyers, Defense attorneys, maybe in the future no longer be necessary. ChatGPT writes full legal documents in “legalese”, formulating court-quality arguments in a matter of minutes. Imagine five years down the road. We may not even need a court at all. Just have two AI lawyers arguing a million times in simulation and a grand supreme AI to choose whichever side bested the other
Jobs such as programmers stated before aren’t even safe. And if programmers aren’t safe, then AI can begin to write themselves. We are living in a time unlike any other in all of human history. With technology, evolution is exponential, a vertical climb. In the blip of time humans have inhabited, we have evolved fast, but technology even faster. We had a head start and technology still beat us. Slowly the door has been slipping open a thin stream trickling out, but soon, the current will be too fast to ever again, shut the gates of hell.
