Psi:
Exactly.

Also,
There is a huge amount of information available on the internet that any person has said in many different times/forums/situations.
Being able to index it all and turn it into something searchable is now somewhat easy with a LLM.

Governments have probably had this ability for a while but with new LLMs this is now possible for ordinary people.

PoI TV series in real life. I just hope Finch is still looking after it.

AI is scary only for what us humans will use it for. The internet had such promise and look at what we did with that.

Humans will use it for... well, not only. Apart from the other topics this is a really good writing:

Note what were the most important topics in the media during the last years...definitely not this.

AI will have huge social and economical impact in mid-term future.

Because of AI, many jobs will disappear, other jobs will become extremely competitive to get into.

GPT is transforming customer facing services. Technical support and customer services will see 90%+ layoffs over the next few years. Bank tellers, financial advisers, CPAs will follow.

Professional drivers will be replaced by self-driven trucks in 10-15 years from now. Trucking industry in the US alone will shed 50%+ of its 3.5 million workforce.

Airline industry will sooner or later remove copilot from cockpit - another 50% of highly skilled jobs will be gone.

Health care industry that for many decades successfully managed to orchestrate doctors shortages in the U.S. and AU, will finally crumble. It will start with radiologists replaced by AI based diagnostics, and it will end with robots at bed side.

In technology industry, AI-assist tools will bring huge productivity gains to software and QA engineers. And “productivity gain” is another word for “layoffs”.

Now, if we fantasize a bit further into the future, and combine a Chinese-made copy of Boston Dynamics robot with an AI brain, it could sooner or later replace construction workers - another 7.8 million job in US gone.

Now what will happen to society with double digit unemployment? In democracies - social unrest, crime, narcotics pandemics. In authoritarian regimes - expansionist wars, oppression.
