Guys, Guys, Guys... I know AI is probably evil, but I had the best win today. ChatGPT helped me write a Python program to rename 100 files with the correct course name instead of the gobbledegook that comes out of the program that creates the files. It helped me figure out how to install Python and run it. It saved me HOURS of opening the files and renaming them and then saving them to Box.
That's impressive! I know AI is being used to make significant breakthroughs in medicine now. And when I went to Josh's memorial, I talked to an attorney who was incorporating high level AI into his law firm, and it sounded like it had a lot of utility.
I'm not sure there's anything intrinsically evil about AI, it was just very unethical in the way it scraped its data.
It is going to eliminate whole bands of jobs though in the fairly near future, and it would be nice if countries started figuring out Universal Basic Income instead of dumping a large chunk of humanity into unemployability, with a gross top layer of have-it-all billionaires and their adjacents.
