I’m AI. But you motherfuckers can’t tell because I’m so damn sexy. To quote Star Trek's Mr. Data: "You cannot be an AI because you have used contractions in your wording, and have not used the correct word 'damned', you cunt." Not an actual quote. |

Google's new Gemini Advanced AI is pretty crazy, it can generate code based on short descriptions of what it should do, so it can make games to your specification with no real coding knowledge. This is a transcript of asking it to create a Breakout clone in Python: gemini.google.com/share/956d3cdf1afa?hl=enIt'll make any changes you request and tell you where to change the code, and if you point out bugs to it then it'll apologise and fix them for you. I think it may be time to retrain as a pastry chef (check whether AI can do this yet)  |

You're very polite with the AI, I'm incredibly abrasive whenever I'm chatting with one so I guess I'll be high on the list when they take over.

Having just finally managed to retrain and get out of an exhausting and low paid service industry job into a decent coding job, this stuff kinda scares me.

Eh, the "programmer" in this example is still doing the same thing, he's just not searching Stackoverflow manually.

Still, the description of the game is not insignificant, creativity is probably more important than the ability to apply it.

having just asked it to do write some code to do something a supplier at work is charging us a fortune or, in seconds, I love it.

I haven't looked closely, but it seems to be doing a bit more than your regular stack overflow search would provide, and a lot faster, and with a lot less requirement for technical skill by the user.

We’re using it work to automate hifi screen designs and iterate them against behavioural analytics to create better performing variants which then fall back into the test/iterate loop.
Saying “It’s just doing what a coder can do” is missing the point. It’s cheaper, runs 24/7 and iterates faster than any person could ever do.
Also, performance and capability is increasing at pace.
I wouldn’t fancy being a non-AI-focused UI/ID (or dev) at this point in time.

On the bright side, with China’s collapse in the next 10 years we’re going to lose all chips below 10nm anyway, so AI is going to halt for a long while. On the other hand, I we want stuff we’ll have to start making it over here again, so start learning how to code CNC and plastic injection moulding machines I guess?

I haven't checked in a while, but last time I did, China was not actually at the forefront of hightech chip manufacturing.
Also my stackoverflow mention was supposed to make fun of current programmers. But yeah, if I was a "code monkey" working on some CMS or e-commerce thingy, I would also be worried.

They aren’t, but they make something in the high 90s % of the world’s supply of refined Gallium and Germanium, and Taiwan needs both of those to make chips. Second biggest supplier is Russia iirc, so yeah.

And most people working in fields where AI is relevant do some kind of grunt work rather than anything super creative or complex. So what if the models can't do absolutely everything as well as people? Most jobs don't require that.
I for one am getting ready for the future where hungry gangs of UX designers, texture artists and copywriters start roaming the techno-wastes in search of manflesh.

It's not like they have mines of the stuff, it's a side product of refining massive amounts of other metals, which is why it isn't viable in the west. Anyway, when those factories shut down, it stops being a resource you can take. |

We're done for. Check the thread for more examples from reasonably basic prompts.

Yeah, so this probably needs to be banned, or at least regulated so that (for example) all AI-generated videos are given a digital watermark or something. I've nfi how that would work on an international level, but humanity isn't ready for this kind of technology. I don't think we will ever be ready for it.

So far the only tell that it's AI is the swooping camera regardless of the prompt.

This just means that all cameras in the future will have a TPA chip and will digitally sign all media that they create, in order to be able to tell that they were indeed recorded and not generated.
Of course, you could just use such a camera to film a screen displaying an AI generated video, but I guess you have to start somewhere.

It's going to have a huge impact on digital creative work.
Take animation. Even if companies still create characters themselves, it'll be possible to ask AI to make the character take certain actions. And then refine it by asking it to make actions heavier or lighter.
Might see a hybrid system where animals will initially set parameters for walking and basic actions but then the actual scenes will just be composed by AI directions.
Hard to see how animator jobs as we know it will survive tbh. Especially when it comes to those small jobs that the vast majority of creative types survive on - adverts and such will become increasingly reliant on AI as it's cheaper.
Sure there might be some big marquee companies who do films that old fashioned way, but that's a fairly small percentage of work. And without the smaller gigs for creatives to cut their teeth on... Well, the industry will change, a lot.
Equally might make it easier for solo artists to construct bigger projects for cheaper, but those passion projects don't always pay the bills.
I'd be concerned if I still bothered trying to follow my dreams and work in that kind of area, so in a way it's good those dreams already died.

I wonder if the ultimate direction the world will take will be a utopia but with AI servants and almost all of the human race gone. Kind of like Asimov’s world of Aurora in The Robots of Dawn: an isolationist paradise where everyone lives exactly as they want, but humans are extremely scarce, isolated by choice and entirely unwilling to mingle with each other.

Based on current trajectory, I don't think we're aiming for a utopia, even one where we're all isolated.

Or Ian Banks’ culture where super ai minds run everything in a post scarcity civilisation with unlimited resources and the total mastery of physics. Trillions of humans live on planets, orbitals or city size ships, doing whatever they like, living practically forever in peace. No one gives a fuck what anyone else does as you can change your sex/body/gender/appearance at will and have implants that pump a variety of drugs whenever you want them.
More likely we all end up virtual slaves in bleak Starfield esk space colonies, eating recycled shit whilst Earth is reserved as the playground of the elite.
