And it figures out how to do it in these strange alien methods oftentimes.
It'll take...
mathematical pathways that a human being wouldn't do, but it works.
So, objectively speaking, nobody can deny that artificial intelligence is advancing.
Yes, you have an investment bubble.
Yes, it's overhyped very often, and hopefully, hope to God, that the future projections are
exaggerated but one way or the other it's good enough right now to get millions of people hundreds of millions of people to use it on a daily or weekly basis and to look to it as the highest authority on what is and isn't real one of the biggest things we've seen on and by the way i think we're gonna go to break and then we'll play the cold open with you when you get back because one thing that concerns me a lot is you see
The thing that makes me the most angry about all of this is that it's true that many jobs, maybe most jobs of the future, will require someone to basically use an AI to confirm what they're thinking, to tell them what they're thinking.
But it's not really like some force of nature.
They talk about it in terms of evolution.
They talk about it in terms of adaptation.
It's adaptation to an artificial digital environment that they have created and foisted upon us.
So they create a situation in which everyone is expected to basically become this human machine symbiote and
it's true in that artificial environment you won't necessarily get the job unless you can be a prompt engineer and have the machine think for you it doesn't mean that you are a more excellent person it doesn't mean in the long run that these companies will be the most successful it just means that in the near term people are being herded into this and it's happening at the level of education i've been speaking at colleges and have actually had a lot of young people come out to my talks that really surprised me
who are terrified at their peers becoming completely reliant on AI.
The teachers just simply... Tell me about that.
Again, there aren't any hard statistics other than to know that... No, I'm talking anecdotal.
Anecdotal.
Kids are telling me that many of their peers who are doing very, very well grade-wise are doing well because they basically ask the machine to write an essay and they turn it in.
The professor has no way really of testing it.
