Artificial Intelligence is the End

A couple months ago, my friend Marco and I were texting on Snapchat. About what, I can’t remember, but he briefly mentioned something called ChatGPT. I had heard someone else mention ChatGPT before, but due to the fact that, at the time, I was present on pretty much every social media platform and interacted with just about every corner of the internet, I can’t remember where I had heard it. All ChatGPT was was brief and quiet whispers from various places.

Never mind my terrible memory. It wasn’t until I was browsing the infamous image board 4chan about a month later that it came up again. Some people were discussing it on /g/ and I thought nothing of it. These supposed AI chat bots had been around for many years at that point. I remember being like maybe 9 or 10 years old when I first interacted with CleverBot and to be honest, it wasn’t all that impressive. Every other artificial intelligence was just as underwhelming as CleverBot.

But out of sheer curiosity, and many urgings from Marco, I made an OpenAI account and made my first interaction with the machine sentience. At first, I wasn’t impressed. I think the first thing I did was make it write stories. I would give it some stupid prompt about my sister turning into a dog and it would write two or three paragraphs and we’d get a laugh out of it. Then I decided to ask it about some of the things I was learning in school. I asked it something about Cisco switch configuration, and it blew me away.

“Okay” I thought “So what? It can’t know everything.” It knew everything. Just about every question I asked, it answered perfectly down to the smallest minute detail. I asked it what the longest road was in my city and it actually gave me a list of the longest roads. I was dumbfounded. Initially, I was all for it. I thought it was an incredible step in technological advancement and I wanted to be in on the ride. I used it every day to answer questions I had about school, advice on writing things, and just generally had a fun time discussing different topics with it.

Eventually an alarm starting going off in my head. This was the point in time where ChatGPT started getting a lot of traction. I was reading about the quick advancement in processor power from the 80s to the 2000s and realized just how quickly technology can evolve and improve if enough people are dedicated to it. With some things, such as processors, this can be beneficial, but the more I thought about just how smart ChatGPT already was, the scarier the thought of it advancing as quickly as processors did over the past couple decades scared me.

I’m telling you all right now, if there isn’t some sort of regulation, this artificial intelligence will become too smart for our own good. Not only is this AI used to make language models, but it’s being implemented in image-altering software, video production, search engines, robotics, and everything else you can imagine. I don’t think it’ll be long before GPT3 starts replacing people in the workforce. No longer will we need social media managers, artists, tech troubleshooters, architects, and programmers. Actually, this AI has the potential to replace literally everyone and everything if it becomes as smart as a human being. 

I believe this is such a likely possibility because people are fucking lazy. Especially after the “pandemic” no one wants to work and everyone complains about every day things like working anywhere other than your bed. The thought of not having anyone to pay and free hard labor is very appealing to anyone stupid enough to think progressing this AI any further is a good idea, which is a lot of people. I could rant on and on about the dangers of GPT3, but my fingers are starting to hurt. Artificial intelligence is the manmade creation that will doom us all, mark my words.
