“AI for the first time can replace or exceed human cognition.” 🤣
No.
Maybe if you chose one tiny sliver of human cognition like memory and isolate it, but cognition overall? No chance. LLM tech is a database inference machine. Some uses? Yes. 1/3 of the worlds stock market wealth invested in it? Dumb.
Not many years ago, Bill Gates said that climate change was the most important issue facing the world.
I guess that’s solved now, because he now says how we handle AI use and access has taken the mantle as the most important issue the world’s facing.
This is just more AI cooker stuff from a billionaire octagonarian.
I think (comically) Gates uses the word “cognition” to mean, the business output of an individual white collar worker. In that realm, today, ais are faster, more durable, more scalable, more easily put into parallel than humans, they work around the clock and they’re cheaper.
I don’t like ai. Still, I think Gates is absolutely right that ai is going to swing a wrecking ball into white collar work and there’s no government or industry plan to deal with the human impacts of that.
