So, yesterday evening I attended a lecture on AI, and I have to say that many things I heard are a bit scary. For example, AI can write an entire novel within 20 seconds. All I need to do is type, for example, Stephen King-style, 90,000 words, keywords: woods, scary, friendship, death, and monster. I will receive a full manuscript of a novel that, 20 pages in, sounds amazing. Makes me wonder, will we need authors in the future? Will we need humans in stores, or can robots do the job? They are sort of doing it already anyway. Some strange future we are heading to, don’t you think? It obviously has many good sides as well. Maybe it can assist in finding a cure for AIDS or cancer. However, for now, there are still things artificial intelligence cannot which puts humans still in charge. For now.
