True, I think AI has the biggest potential of changing our lives in the near future. I don't think we are anywhere near generalised AI right now, but even the current LLVMs have amazing capabilities. I think there may be many ways we can apply these AIs that we haven't thought of yet.
Now here's to hoping that these AIs won't be monopolised by corporations but instead stay available to the general public.
I think there's going to be a lot of AIs, corporate and open, public and private. It's already happening. Things are going to get weird very fast.
This is why we should push against attempts to strangle open-source AI products and research.
Sadly, it’s probably going to be exactly what happens over time, since that is almost always what regulation does. Some company (Amazon or Meta or Microsoft or Google) will back door legislation via campaign donations to you know who’s, to make sure large regulated companies are the only ones who can run advanced AI models, out of “responsibility” and “safety”. And by seeding all these doom and gloom headlines of a “AI will take over the world” narrative, the public will be just so happy to give up the rights of other people for a thing “they weren’t going to do anyway”, like usual.
