I believe that Geoffrey Hinton is much more intelligent than I am, by a large margin.
But it stands out to me that he appears as if he'd voluntarily taken the perspective of an AI-fear evangelist (because it bolsters his reputation).
I cannot judge if it is legitimate to choose this category ("fear-evangelist"). I did it anyway, deliberately.
Generative AI, LLMs, Machine Learning: I'm not an expert in any of these fields. I heard a lecture on Neural Networks, Genetic algorithms, AI history at university, but that was in 2013.
It's interesting how some approaches that felt like moon-shots at the time turned out to be massively capable with the emergence of large transformer models. At least that's my understanding (regarding NNs).
If someone says to me: "you are replaceable by AI", I don't fret much. It might be correct.
But to be honest, I am also frustrated about the fact that AI gloom and doom (be it white-collar job elimination or paperclip singularity) hasn't changed much since 2022 or so.
Agree that it feels we are at the beginning of a disruptive period, where work that was previously considered inseparable from human domain experts and specialized programmers, is being challenged by AI.
