What do you think? Dystopian nightmare? A force for good and progress? How about this....?
The AI job interviewer will see you nowAI interview services say they’re eliminating bias — but not everyone agrees....When Floria Tan applied for an internship at China’s food delivery giant Meituan, her first video interview was not with a human being. The interviewer certainly looked real enough. It was a woman, about Tan’s age, with a friendly smile — but her voice and manner were stitled and distinctly robotic. The interviewer gave a brief introduction about Meituan and asked a series of canned questions like, “What was a challenge you came across in the past?” After each answer, the interviewer would summarize what was said and offer a follow-up question. The interviewer was an AI avatar, working from a list of pre-determined questions but using a large language model to generate authentic-sounding responses on the fly. But Tan told Rest of World it felt more like taking a written exam than having a conversation. “I didn’t take it as a real human,” she said. “I just looked at the camera and talked.” Once seen as a curiosity, AI job interviews have grown in popularity as startups look to build businesses on top of the surprising capabilities shown by platforms like OpenAI....

I'm 63 years old so the intrusion of AI into my life will be minimal. And anyone who suggests that it could assist my business or life will be met by a mad eyed stare and possible physical violence if they persist with their sales pitch.

That an encounter I'd pay good money to see I can see NHS direct and initial GP and hospital appointments being AI driven Perhaps even some court cases And all these smart speaker devices, Siri, etc could be far more interactive in a few years and even result in a relationship of sorts Then there's TV, film and music, I can see a lot of AI input into that - for good or ill

A former executive at Google said that artificial intelligence-powered machines could one day view humans as “scum” and could create “killing machines”.... I for one welcome our new AI overlords

It will all start when you ask Alexa to play Half Man, Half Biscuit and you get Taylor Swift instead. Your fridge will refuse to acknowledge food expiry dates, your microwave irradiating meals into ash and finally the automatic garage door coming down on your oblivious carcass....

OpenAI's CTO: “some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place."
What a ****

AI thus far has been shite and annoying, sadly

AI is extremely adept at spotting trends in huge datasets, and will be very useful in medical applications such as identifying cancers.
However, I suspect that Red Dwarf got it absolutely right when it comes to consumer applications – the future of home AI will be idiotic devices like Talkie Toaster.

Totally, and in other data crunching areas like insurance, stock trading etc. I'm skeptical about the applications in the creative industries though. The suits are chomping at the bit to replace creatives with AI but all it can do is regurgitate a mash-up from a dataset it's been trained on based on a human prompt. That's not creativity.

Yes, quite. I've been a professional writer since I was 19. My first career was as an advertising copywriter. ChatGPT can produce a reasonable facsimile of advertising copy, but it can't do what a real copywriter can do. As a writer, I can spot it a mile off – it's the sort of text you'd get from a highly educated person brought up in, say, India, where they became fluent in English but in a slightly stilted and archaic dialect.
