Don’t get me wrong, there are problems with it, both in the process that modern AI uses as well as the sources that it draws from, however, as of right now ai is just a tool like auto-tune or photoshop.
Even though it will change the media formats that it is attached to, it will not supplant them within the next 5 to 10 years, it will simply transform them.
To offer a counternarative, we don’t really know where AI will plateau, what will a 1 quadrillion parameter language model look like? And will it make my degree worthless by comparison lol?
Eve when when it does, we will still have hallucination. It will still be impossible to guarantee a correct answer. It’ll be more accurate, but those problems require heavy rethinking to models themselves, more accurate models will lessen it but it won’t go away
What is your degree to you? A means by which to qualify for a job? Or the lens through which you perceive and shape the world around you for the better?
Because AI might some far-flung day make the former obsolete, but I don’t think ever the latter.
