I recently wrote that “machines already paint pictures, compose music, diagnose diseases, and research and prepare legal opinions. They write technical manuals, news reports, essays, stories, and even novels.
Machines code software and design buildings. They ace an incredible diversity of exams. Right now, in most states, machines could pass the bar exam and become lawyers. For all I know they have probably passed simulated medical licensing exams as well.
Machines now provide or will shortly likely provide mental health counseling, elder care, personal support, and even intimate companionship. Machines converse. They find patterns, design products, and solve complex problems (like protein folding). You can now feed an AI a book, say 75,000 words, and ask it for an outline and summary, or for criticisms.
Next month, what will it be? You feed it 100,000 or 200,000 words and you get a translation in an eye-blink? Similarly, you can now feed in hours of audio, and get a transcription. And, hot off the wires, perhaps most consequentially, AIs can now collaborate and even prompt one another.”
