Imagine having an extremely intelligent Ai versed in almost every topic built right into your phone.

You get lost in the wilderness, You would be able to communicate with the Ai, it would tell you how to survive.

Or for some reason you need immediate medical advice, say for an emergency, like stiching up a wound, or making splint, or even locating medicinal plants in your area.

There are so many different applications for this technology, especially when it's accessible at all times on your phone.

Eventually we will be able to customize it's personality traits as well, and it would be like having the smartest friend who's always there for you. Like a real guardian angel or something like that.

Eventfully, most people will upload themselves to the cloud and live in full-immersion VR worlds of their choosing. There will also, in time, be the tech to reassemble one's body (or choose a different body) as a nano swarm. You could then move from the VR world to the "real" one whenever you like. Although, I think for many, the VR reality will become more "real" than anything they ever knew previously and, indeed, the real world.

But it is still preferable to train on synthetic images than on the original works, don't you agree?

When the artist refuses to allow their images be used for training AI models, or it is impossible to get permission for other reasons such as not knowing the correct contact information, if the AI uses variations it won't learn to imitate the originals closely. Variations should be OK because they have no copyright, as the courts decided. Seems like a better compromise than either indiscriminate training or making AI impossible to train.

Does not matter if the duplicate has the exact same memories, thoughts schematics, perks and mannerisms. There is no difference between "to be some one"and perfectly pretending to be some one. Are you sure you are the same one than ten years ago, while you do not have a single atom in your body from that time ?

> Many AI researchers believe that solving the language translation problem is the closest thing to producing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

I call bullshit on this. Show me one researcher or paper claiming this. MT is not the closest to AGI, we have been doing ok in MT even before GPT-3. The most advanced AI we have now can solve problems and handles general chat. MT is a much simpler, basic task.

I feel like there aspects of humanity that are wonderful and worth loving, but they’re just heavily overshadowed by the bad stuff. It’s like listening to a concert but there’s earsplitting static being played over it, yeah it might still be good music but it kind of ruins the overall experience.

I haven't read the paper, but my friend Fred says that they used a simple model to decide what goes into the training data. That would explain the 10x smaller size. Or one of us misunderstood. I mean, you could download the data in theory and grep for whatever you are interested in. Let's say psychology. Then get the code and GPUs in the cloud. You can crowdfund this if there's enough interest. I guess the more niche topics would be also the cheapest to do.

You don't need to do all that. Train a model on your data without destroying your body, just what can be logged from outside. It will be enough. chatGPT can enter a persona even with just a handful of hints. I think the AI of the future will be able to replicate any personality without fine-tuning.

Let's look at this from a logical point of view. The 2020s is going to be the gadget era where different technologies will develop to be used widely. Smart watches, VR, AR, drones, robotic hands and prosthetics, holographic TVs, AI, Robots (Boston Dynamics), implants. All these technologies got developed by 2010,and became a standard in the 20s. By 2030 these technologies will be mastered and will be used by everyone without any flaws,so the logical step would be bug free versions on each of them without any lag and delay. By 2030 all these technologies will be billion and even trillions worth in the stock market,so looking right now at each and every one of them I suspect that by 2030 we will see the first implants in the market,such as brain implants. Prosthetics and robotic arms will be used by people without arms and by different sectors such as cooking or in hospitals for critical situations where the human touch will only be overlooking the procedures (examples would be brain surgery,or any type of surgery). Also these technologies will take time to be bug free and without any delays,so I guess by 2040 the brain implants will be used without any delays as well as prosthetic arms. So by the same logic somewhere around 2035 there will be the first choice for us to upload our memories into the cloud,but this version will be in it's infancy and it will take a few years to have no issues when people will be using that so I guess Ray Kurzweil was right all along,2045 seems the greatest possible scenario for technological singularity judging by the pace of the technological growth as it is right now. Maybe if things speed up even more once we have AGI,I guess we could even see that by 2035 which to me sounds a bit ridiculous,but hey..who could have thought that we would have an AI as powerful as Bing AI by 2023?
