You're not wrong about its quality right now, but let's look at the slope as well.
This fact has made me cease to put new things on the internet entirely. I want no part of this, and while my "contribution" is infinitesimally small, it's more than I want to contribute.
Midjourny needs to understand that its drawing a hand, that hands have 5 fingers.
Nobody will use Bing chat for anything important. Its like asking some some random guy on the train. He might know the answer, and if its not important then fine, but if it is important, say the success of your business, you're going to want talk to somebody who actually knows the answer.
freeing up that many knowledge workers to do other things will grow the economy, not shrink it, a new industrial revolution
Lester Thurow, a pretty left liberal economist, pointed out that women's "liberation" and entrance into the general workforce had starved teaching/education of the pool of talented women that had previously kept the quality of education very high. (His mother had been a teacher.)
I (who had studied econ so I tend to think about it) noticed at the dawn of the dot-com boom how much of industry is completely discretionary even though it seems serious and important. Whatever we were all doing before, it got dropped so we could all rush into the internet. The software industry, which was not small, suddenly changed its focus, all previous projects dropped, because those projects were suddenly starved of capital, workers, and attention.
Yes, I'm aware though it may get better but we actually don't know that yet. What if it's way harder to go from outputting junior level code with tons of mistakes to error-free complex code, than it is to go from no capability to write code to junior level code with tons of mistakes? What if it's the difference between word prediction algorithm and actual human-level intelligence?
There may be a big decrease in demand, because a lot of apps are quite simple. A lot of software out there are "template apps", stuff that can theoretically be produced by a low code app, will be eventually produced by a low code app, AI or not. When it comes to novel and complex things, I think it's not unreasonable to consider that the next 10 - 20 years will still see plenty demand for good developers.
ChatGPT:
let screenshot = tab.capture_screenshot(ScreenshotFormat::PNG, None, true).await?;
let html = String::from_utf8(screenshot).unwrap();
>[...] Once the page is fully loaded, the function captures a screenshot of the page using tab.capture_screenshot(), converts the screenshot to a string using String::from_utf8(), and then returns the string as the HTML content of the page.
Of course, it admits to the mistake (sort of, it still does not get):
> You are correct, taking a screenshot and converting it to text may not always be the best approach to extract the HTML content from a webpage.
It's hilarious.
In terms of doctors, I think there is a counterbalancing effect of sorts, whereby some administration can be digitised and communication is more efficient, but it probably doesn't make up for the lack of additional candidates.
