    "Google called on cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin in ChatGPT fightback after issuing a 'code red', report says "

    "The release of ChatGPT on November 30 has sparked internal concerns over the continued dominance of Google's search engine. CEO Sundar Pichai held meetings about Google's artificial intelligence strategy in December and the company reportedly issued a "code red" after the AI bot rapidly gained traction.

    That prompted calls from Pichai to Page and Brin, more than three years after they stepped down from executive roles, The Times reported. The cofounders remain on the board of Alphabet.


    According to the report, Page and Brin had "several" meetings with executives last month to strategize about Google's AI, and approved plans to incorporate more chatbot features into its search engine. "

    It seems I misunderstood the issue,
    So I looked into it more , and it seems that Open AI is anything but open,
    Open usually means , transparent, source code open to anyone, not for profit, at least as far as the source code is concerned.
    on that regard the Name "Open AI" is at best misleading. and even though a company can choose any name they like
    Open AI is also a term that describes the availability of a technology and I am sure it's copyright will be challenged.
    For instance, a care sales company cannot usurp the term "Free Cars" (I would think so)

    So this might be a unique way of accessing information in the internet via the use of AI, but as you said Google has a large warchest and will develop their own "open AI"
    A patent is only as good as the ability of the patent holder to defend it.

    Microsoft on Monday confirmed it is making a “multibillion dollar” investment in OpenAI, the company behind the viral new AI chatbot tool called ChatGPT.

    Microsoft, an early investor in OpenAI, said it plans to expand its existing partnership with the company as part of a greater effort to add more artificial intelligence to its suite of products. In a separate blog post, OpenAI said the multi-year investment will be used to “develop AI that is increasingly safe, useful, and powerful.”

    this was one of the most worrying things about the response of educators to Chat GPT.
    how can we stop leaners using it to "cheat".
    the game changed and it seems they were looking to preserve the old ways.

    time for new thinking

    It's creating a generation of thickos.

    Today's generation have already got structurally different brains with the inability to retain information, because they're now used to finding everything online.

    Now they're going to lose the ability to think because they have AI to do it for them.

    The education of the future will consist of how to use internet queries and how to tie your shoelaces.

    ^I agree. I believe some school boards (New York) for one have banned it from their school internet and devices.
    Teachers will have to adapt and change how essays are graded..students should have to give an oral presentation on their paper, to prove they know what they are reading and talking about. I think there are a lot more cons to this AI than pros.

    Just like any technology in the classroom..it should be a tool to aid learning now and again, but not a way to cheat and regurgitate someone else's thoughts and ideas.

    not true, plenty of smart kids entering the workforce, its not all sex-changing drama queens that the media would have you believe.
    AI doesnt think for you, it just gathers the data, critical thinking is more important than ever

    i concede not met a younger generation member who can read a map

    ^
    agree, which suggest the testing criteria is now wrong, AI exisits
    but isnt all we do reurgitating what has come before

    did nobody watch battlestar galactica?
    we won it at wemberlee

    Fair point, but with AI, it could be someone else's words/thoughts and not their own which is worrying.
    High school and college/uni would use it more. Also, some countries in Asia may not be taught to critical think to begin with, so this may make it harder for teachers to decipher if it is their own work or not.

    The future is not necessarily knowing the answer, but knowing where to find it. AI and the revolution of what is to come like ChatGPT is the future.

    ^^ Hasn't that always been the case?

    I found the AI gave pretty generic answers and failed miserably when I asked something more specific, admittedly very technical questions where answers are available on the net if you know where to look.

    As I mentioned earlier, ChatGPT can now churn out well-written, properly commented code now in response to fairly generic requests.

    The Digital Gonad party may be drawing to a close.

    A new tool has been launched to detect AI-generated text - in what could be a huge setback for students looking to cut corners.

    In a boost for teachers and employers, the start-up that created ChatGPT - OpenAI - now offers a way of determining content produced using artificial intelligence.

    Announcing the news in a blog post, the platform said the AI Text Classifier will categorise text on a five-step scale - raging from likely to very unlikely.

    OpenAI said the tool is a "fine-tuned GPT model that predicts how likely it is that a piece of text was generated by AI from a variety of sources".

    It said: "We're making this classifier publicly available to get feedback on whether imperfect tools like this one are useful.


    "We recognise that identifying AI-written text has been an important point of discussion among educators, and equally important is recognising the limits and impacts of AI generated text classifiers in the classroom."

    In its public beta mode, OpenAI acknowledges the detection tool is very unreliable on texts under 1,000 characters - about 150 to 250 words.

    It can generate realistic responses using a large language model which allows it to generate human-like text in response to a given prompt - including articles, essays, jokes and even poetry.

    ChatGPT was launched in late 2022 and has taken the internet by storm.


    Since its debut in November, it has raised concerns about copyright and plagiarism - amassing more than one million users less than a week after its public launch.

    New tool can detect whether text was made using AI - in huge win for suspicious teachers | Science & Tech News | Sky News

    A conversation I had with it regarding the increasing rate of automation in the future...

    Will automation cost jobs in the future?

    Yes, automation has the potential to displace certain jobs in the future, particularly those that involve repetitive tasks that can be performed more efficiently and accurately by machines. However, it can also create new job opportunities in fields such as data analysis, machine learning, and robotics engineering. The net impact on employment will depend on various factors, including the rate of technological advancement, government policies, and the ability of workers to acquire new skills.

    Will it mean that a universal wage will be needed.

    The idea of a universal wage, also known as a universal basic income, has been proposed as a solution to address job losses due to automation. Under this system, every citizen would receive a guaranteed income, regardless of whether they are employed or not. Proponents argue that this would provide a safety net for workers who lose their jobs due to automation, while also serving as a stimulus for economic growth. However, there is debate about the feasibility and desirability of such a system, as well as how it would be funded and implemented. Ultimately, whether a universal wage will be necessary in the future will depend on the extent to which automation affects employment, as well as the political and economic choices made by societies.

    Could it result in civil unrest?

    It's possible that widespread job loss due to automation could lead to social and economic upheaval, including civil unrest. If workers are unable to find new employment or support themselves through other means, they may become frustrated and resentful, leading to social unrest. Additionally, unequal distribution of wealth and access to job opportunities could further exacerbate tensions and contribute to instability. However, it's important to note that there are many factors that contribute to civil unrest, and automation is just one of them. Addressing the impacts of automation through proactive measures such as retraining programs, income support, and targeted investments in communities that are likely to be hardest hit, can help mitigate the risk of civil unrest.

    Will farm yields increase?

    The impact of automation on farm yields is complex and depends on various factors such as the type of crops grown, the farming methods used, and the level of investment in technology. However, generally speaking, automation can help increase farm yields by enabling farmers to more efficiently manage their operations, reduce waste, and increase productivity. For example, the use of autonomous tractors, drones, and precision agriculture technologies can help farmers monitor crop growth, soil quality, and water usage more effectively, leading to improved yields. However, the full benefits of automation in agriculture will depend on factors such as the cost and availability of technology, and the willingness of farmers to adopt new methods.
    Heavy shit.

    Then it dropped this bombshell...

    What advances in robotics will take place in the next ten years?

    Predicting specific advances in robotics technology is difficult, but it is likely that the field will continue to evolve rapidly in the next 10 years. Some of the areas that are likely to see significant progress include:


    1. Autonomous robots: The development of autonomous robots that can operate independently without human intervention will likely continue to progress, with potential applications in fields such as agriculture, manufacturing, and healthcare.
    2. Human-robot interaction: Advances in natural language processing and machine learning algorithms will likely enable robots to better understand and interact with humans, making them more accessible and usable in everyday settings.
    3. Soft robotics: The development of soft, flexible robots that can adapt to their environment and perform tasks that are difficult for traditional rigid robots, such as handling delicate objects or working in tight spaces.
    4. Collaborative robots: The development of robots that can work safely and effectively alongside humans in shared workspaces, potentially leading to increased efficiency and productivity in industries such as manufacturing and healthcare.
    5. Medical robots: The use of robots in medical applications, such as minimally invasive surgery, rehabilitation, and patient care, is likely to continue to grow, as the technology advances and becomes more widely adopted by healthcare providers.

    These are just a few examples of the potential advances that may take place in the field of robotics over the next 10 years, and the field is likely to continue to evolve and surprise us with new breakthroughs and innovations.

    I think this is called "rushing to market before your competitors are up and running".

    San Francisco-based AI research lab OpenAI launched ChatGPT Plus, a new paid version of the viral conversational chatbot. Available at $20 per month, it provides access to ChatGPT during rush hours, a faster response rate and priority access to new features and improvements.
