It's not going to be very good at a lot of questions where the corpus on which it's trained is basically bereft of information.

So there's a shape to AI intelligence.

But there is also, and this might be the more important piece, there's a shape to human work as well.

Pablo Torre Finds Out

And understanding how those two puzzle pieces come together is going to be really important for using this technology in a way that is effective, but also responsible.

I think it's going to take a lot of reps.

Pablo Torre Finds Out

Honestly, to go back to the gym metaphor, I think people are just going to have to use this stuff over and over again to feel out where am I using this in a way that makes me more productive and where am I using it in a way that offers the illusion of productivity, but I'm really just making myself dumber week after week.

Yeah.

My big fear is just that responsible and productive usage is just going to become so bifurcated by class and like running out of time.

We haven't gotten to the education part.

Like, you know, I can send my kids to schools where they're very thoughtful about this.

Pablo Torre Finds Out

But how many kids are going to be going to schools where they're not thoughtful or going to be put in situations where they're not?

Pablo Torre Finds Out

being given those same considerations.

Pablo Torre Finds Out

And that's a big concern of mine as well.

I'm now really kicking myself for not having any ancient Sumerian references in any of my AI answers because I think that always enlivens the answer.

Pablo Torre Finds Out

I mean, look, I think AI is an incredibly powerful and very likely transformative thing on the level of, let's say, the personal computer.

Pablo Torre Finds Out

We work with personal computers.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
Share & Bubble & Tell with Mina Kimes and Derek Thompson

They didn't displace us.

Pablo Torre Finds Out

But they didn't displace workers.

The unemployment rate is still under 5%, as it has been for the last few years, where computer penetration has been higher than ever.

Pablo Torre Finds Out

It's very, very likely to me, it's very, very plausible to me, that 10, 20 years from now, generative AI is something a little bit like Excel.
