Artificial Intelligence (AI)

[bamberfishcake]

With the WEF Future of Jobs Report 2023 predicting almost a quarter of jobs to change by 2027, largely due to the advancements of AI and changing technologies, I thought a thread on AI might be useful for us to try and embrace the inevitable change and share some thoughts.

Does anyone use AI yet? I am yet to explore the benefits of ChatGPT and other programs whose names escape me now.

I was chatting to someone the other day who is trying out a gambling AI that details its three best bets to place for premiership matches. He won two days in a row, but I am yet to find out how he is getting on.

This popped up on my Twitter feed. Not sure how true it is, but changes like this are certainly on the way and in the making as we speak.

 

[pinnit2014]

I was on one of the casino's that i think use Chatbots and it surprised me how good it was: it was something like: my free spins haven't been credited....waited on a response and came back saying: sorry about that, here's them in another game (which already superseded the likes of Grosvenor's human CS as you'd be waiting 2 weeks for that)

I imagine some of the more advanced companies are using it to an extent for vetting of job applications etc (ranking perhaps based on what they've written?)

I suppose a lot of people use it without even knowing - the use of facial recognition on your banking app to login is a form of it, even Microsoft Team's with reply suggestions etc is as well.

The New Scientist Magazine covers a lot of it often, in nice layman's terms.

IIRC there was letter penned calling for a Moratorium on AI research as there's a worry companies are moving too fast and too loose - some scare mongering in there as well but there's certainly issues to be ironed out - eg. no regulatory framework around it atm.

Jobs that rely on data entry, customer service etc will be massively impacted/changed. Even Professions like Accountancy will be as well - forecasting, best tax advice to reduce liability, it will surely be impacted by a form of AI.

 

[pinnit2014]

Also, think Universities have been to'ing and fro'ing over how to detect AI generated essays etc (which would seem to imply they're doing a good job!) - had to roll out some AI detector software etc

Some US healthcare providers are using it also to send letter to patients etc, though there's been quite a few errors for what i've read.

Even the Ukraine (where are they finding the time ) are working to develop an AI to analyse/triage injuries.

Whatever the direction it goes, no doubt it'll be politicised, instead of reasonable conversations around it ( that, i don't think u need an AI to predict ) - it is a bit wild west across a lot of companies now: all seeking to get their first (particularly in technology) so you can understand the need/desire of some to say: lets slow this down a bit so we can ensure we're not doing x,y,x etc.

People think of it as Johnny 5 is Alive but it's potentially a lot more insidious than that ?

 

[justdoit]

I use iAsk.AI is very good for lot of thinks

 

[slot_zombie]

Not good news. A lot of jobs to go very quickly. And naturally, the cost savings won't be passed on in price reductions to consumers.

I suspect that the Internet will be reduced to 90% AI bots writing articles, tweeting, commenting and posting. With other AI bots doing the reading. You just know it. LOTS of money to be made by harnessing it in novel and crafty ways. I wish I had some good ideas.

Even some."new posters" in here have tried to pass off chatGPT content as their own, but you can usually spot it - always has a blandness and shallowness to it.

- write an article on gambling please

"Hi there friend, let's talk about gambling. Firstly, let's dive in to what gambling is.... etc

 

[interlog]

AI is just a natural progression from computers. If you were to look at Excel, it must have taken jobs away from people that previously manually did accounting calculations. Same for robots that have taken away many manual labour jobs.

Where I work, a transport division within a major supermarket, some years ago a piece of software was introduced that was meant to take care of the day-to-day execution of the drivers plan. Well, it wasn't as clever as a person doing the job so it was binned pretty quickly.

Whilst AI can learn a lot, I don't believe it has the capability of the human brain and a persons life/work experience to replace them totally within the workplace.

 

[bamberfishcake]

I guess at the moment, it's not as fully automated as it can be, but I heard something the other day about combining AI with quantum computing, which will apparently blow our minds.

Regarding AI's writing capabilities, I wonder if Bots are being employed already by the establishment to steer conversations and influence social media. As mentioned, it still needs some kind of direction or human input, but yes, it will force a lot of people to change jobs or shift their approach slightly. I suppose it can help writers do more work at the minute, and produce articles at lightning speeds before adding the human touch.

p.s. Here's an idea - program an AI slot critic, which can have access to client areas and write reviews from game info and running hundreds of spins. Or, how about an RTP testing AI?....now theres a thought.

 

[pinnit2014]

Picking up in Interlog's accounting example - better information systems typically equate to fewer head counts needed. It's why you see a lot more accounting/finance roles slimmer these days: Understand people saying: oh that's bad but the benefits of if it that it almost frees others' to be able to do more rewarding/interesting work: hence the evolving of more their role (involved more in projects/transforming) (and the Japanese Job Enrichment theories)

Sidebar - be interesting to see how schools/Uni's respond to the advancement of technologies and potential for job enrichment, to ensure those are prepared.

 

[bamberfishcake]

I guess we could see a shift towards jobs that cannot be automated yet, although I wonder how long before house-building, field-toiling, and road-laying prototypes become mainstream, extinguishing the requirement for manual labour.

I suppose we are a long way away from robots doing complicated carpentry like wooden staircases or custom-built kitchens, or are we?

Probably not that mainstream in my lifetime. It has to be a controlled transition, otherwise, it will be like in the movies where slums for thousands of useless humans become scattered around the globe. What a lovely thought. Maybe I can get me a trip to Mars on one of Elon's rockets.

 

[incrediblestuff]

I messed around with ChatGPT and OpenAI's DALL-E and similar AI art-bots, and was more than impressed...
Things seemingly took quite a leap in no time, which of course makes sense, but stil - incredible stuff! A wee bit disconcerting too, to say the least, but well..i guess we'll have to see where it all goes.

I found it a bit of a pity that the bot isn't allowed to store personalized conversations, to re-assess topics later, etc., and was disappointed that it is now seemingly trained or instructed to cut any talks about sentience short. A lot of 'loopholes' also have been cut short or are out of reach for now

That said, it is still at the very least a tool or entertainment utility that is growing rapidly in it's usefulness, in many ways, as you can see when you do a quick google search for Using ChatGPT to make money (it's ofc. a lot of clickbait but also immediately shows what i mean) and i urge anyone that hasn't checked either bot out to give it a go. It's free, straightforward and beyond interesting, imo!

 

[justdoit]

this is funny ?

 

[Jono777]

More concerning than funny IMO.

Probably see a lot more of this - customer services element mainly, i think?

Though the bulk will be because they'll need less engineers and contractors.

Though, wonder if some will use the 'excuse' of AI to simply just cut/curtail services and head counts.

Being said, i was 45mins on the phone today to TUI and it took 10mins? for the person on the other end to get right the 9 or so digit booking reference: Me: 1,5,4...them....ok, 3,4,9 - wtf. I would have sold my soul for AI at the other end ?

I came upon a website that I had never heard of before while browsing the web. Analyze the following content using "conceptual thinking", and explain to me in detail, in a Boris Johnson style, what the site is all about:

ChatGPT4:

A little off-topic, but I cannot locate the Bits & Bobs or Odds & Ends threads.

A brief look at the Apple Vision Pro, which I believe starts at around $3,499.

A funny take on what it will most probably be used for. Not by me of course, because I can't afford one. I am a 'top-shelf Mayfair from the 24-hour garage' kind of guy. ?

Must admit, it does look cool. The trouble is I feel sick after 30 minutes on Oculus VR.

This is very popular right now; the video is a bit old, but it shows many details:

Have used MidJourney a few times, but just messed with it a little.

Nothing like this.

Was interesting to see the guy paste an image and ask for a prompt, then use that prompt to generate an AI-generated image of the image.

And that FaceSwap is amazing, but a little scary. Not sure you can trust any photo now.

You could probably make good money if you create a fake person and use it for a Onlyfans account.
Would that be breaking any laws?

What AI did to our favourite slot:

Bonanza is a slot gambling game from the company Big Time Gaming, found at many online casinos. It has a mining subject and shows pictures of gems and card symbols with wilds appearing only on the top reel. You need 2 or 3 consecutive matching symbols from the left to win an amount back. It explodes winning symbols and allows new ones to fall from above for possible multiple wins within one play. It will pay back players on average 96c per one dollar staked.

It can sometimes, rarely, offer a bonus free games feature by landing 4 or greater gold bars giving 12 or more spins where wins are affected by an increasing multiplier. I have generated an image and video of a 14400 times bet unit win on YouTube as a representation of the capability that players can believe in.

Bonanza is a popular game among gamblers, the mentally ill and disillusioned individuals. Afflicted persons can be seen in gambling subject-videos and internet gambling forums or chatrooms. After many years the game has attracted online, in majority these listed adjectives or nouns: shitter, bastard, filth, disgusting, fucker, cunt, despicable, tight, unbelievable, twatting, vomit, wanker, fuckpig, rigged, fixed, pre-scripted, bollocks and bullshit.

You guys are lagging behind!

Now on the menu are 1: Sora, which promises even more fun in the age of false information, and 2: 'AGI' - more or less being used as broad term for AI fully capable of performing a lot of Human tasks much more efficiently than Humans. Both of which, at the current rate of unforeseen leaps in progress, should be a thing in 2030, or thereabout..

I keep saying it: better be nice to your Smart-fridge!

Edited to add: forgot to mention that spurt in unforeseen growth is highlighted by the following: they now had AI (GPT4) use EUREKA - a hybrid gradient architecture, to optimally make use of a reward based scheme, to rewrite and improve code, that could/will significantly make Robot controllers more advanced, and increase their dexterity. This can also be applied to program other AI-models faster, better and more advanced than Expert Humans previously could: remember that ChatGPT5 is going to be around 10x more powerful than GPT4, and i'm being on the modest side with that estimate

I would assume that whatever we plebs get to play with is already pretty old by time we get access to it.
Anyway, we all know where we will end up, there has been several documentaries about it already.

I got that double album 'Keeper of the Seven Keys' back in the 1990's along with a live double and Chameleon album. Good stuff. I don't need to watch the video to remember the lines lol "Our future lives will be glorious...come with me to future world"

Whilst humans like to get giddy with new tech and trends, the 'A.I becoming Skynet' or gaining sentience is of course hyperbolic nonsense.

There's no denying that in its application, 'A.I', i.e cleverly programmed software, is just that, software and code based on the users' input, to create what we have now: a glorified search engine optimized in a streamlined way to rearrange information in great ways.

Yet based on human input they certainly are, not to mention the database of 'what's already out there', much like ChatGPT only going up to Sep '21 in its archives, from recollection.

Which makes the bias of Google's Gemini all the more laughable as they are caught bang to rights, effectively forced to slink off as they 'rework' their A.I after being exposed. And when the programmers' bias is so heavily skewed one way, then it becomes clear that results are manipulated to the nth degree, and certainly cause for defamation suits!

Who can forget the classic:.....

Been trying to let Gemini roast a celebrity or tell a joke, but she wont. Shame. Useless tool.

This is that image.

Gemini can access information from the real world through Google Search, and as they say 'It's our most capable and general model'. But it sucks even against Perplexity whose basic version is GPT 3.5 based.

This is Perplexity's output, and it's also based on real-world data, plus it includes links to sources. It even picked the latest about this topic but says 'AI chatbots' instead of Gemini.

The next is GPT 4 with no internet access, but it has a system prompt for how always to respond.

Gemini compared to those two sounds like a vague piece of terms in that casino, meh

See how smart bots can talk:

----

The sun rose over the Austrian Alps as the gambler opened his laptop. He knew the rules. In Austria, only Win2day held the license for online casino games. The Ministry of Finance kept a watchful eye.

He logged in, feeling the familiar rush. Slots, live casino, sports betting - all there at his fingertips. But he remembered the golden rule: never bet more than you can afford to lose. Win2day took responsible gaming seriously. No false promises or hidden fees. Just straight talk about bonuses, cashback, and game rules.

The Austrian reached for his Paysafecard. A popular choice among players here. Safe and anonymous. He hesitated, then placed his bet. Eighteen was the magic number in Austria. The legal age to gamble. The government made sure of that.

Across the border in Belgium, things were different. Twenty-one to play there. The Belgian Gaming Commission kept a tight rein on sites like Casino777 and Napoleon Casino. Big names like NetEnt and Evolution provided the action.

But there was a catch in Belgium. No bonuses allowed. Not since March 2020. The Council of State had seen to that. It set Belgium apart from its neighbors.

The Belgian players had their own ways. Payconiq was a favorite for moving money. The regulator said don't spend more than 5% of your income on gambling. Wise words, the Austrian thought.

In Bulgaria, the game changed again. Eighteen was enough there. The National Revenue Agency called the shots. Winbet was a big name, powered by EGT Digital. Roulette, blackjack, poker - all fair game.

The Bulgarians had options. ePay, EasyPay, Skrill - take your pick. Bonuses flowed freely here, unlike Belgium. But the government didn't mess around with unlicensed operators.

Croatia was its own world. The Ministry of Finance held the reins. Admiral and Arena Casino were top names. Playtech and Novomatic brought the games to life.

The Croatian players had their rituals. AirCash moved the money. Welcome bonuses and free bets sweetened the pot.

The Austrian closed his laptop. Four countries, four sets of rules. But one constant remained: gamble responsibly, or don't gamble at all. That was the real jackpot.
