So no doubt since November of 2022, with the launch of ChatGPt and the job the media has done to make everybody and their mom aware of large language models and developments in the field of AIH, no doubt many of you have heard the news, and no doubt most of you have tried out something like chat GPT and had a conversation with it.
And maybe after having that conversation, you felt pretty impressed, like, wow, this thing seems like a real person.
It's given me some pretty well formed, coherent responses to all the stuff I'm asking it.
I mean, this is nothing like that paper clip that used to harass me on Windows XP service pack two.
This thing's coming for my family.
Maybe you've seen those conversations people have had with an AI where it's professing its love for the person that's asking it questions.
Leave your family, they don't love you like I do.
That stuff actually happened.
Maybe you've heard about people recently talking about the possibility of us being on the verge of AGI, or artificial general intelligence, the long prophesied stage of development in the field of AI, where things are apparently gonna go from what people call weak AI.
These are things like calculators, watches, things that can simulate some single aspect of human intelligence, and strong AI, a different level of AI that has the ability to understand, learn, and adapt.
This is AI that can implement knowledge on a level that matches or exceeds that of a human being.
That's what AGI is.
And maybe you've heard about all the doomsday scenarios as to what's going to go down if something like that were to ever be invented.
But is that really something we got to be worried about right now?
