It also aims to give these systems as much autonomy as possible, and ultimately total autonomy. This dual objective is incoherent, dangerous and pointless. We will only truly understand the changes brought about by these technologies in a few years’ time, and with the benefit of hindsight. In the meantime, untimely enthusiasm about technological ‘revolutions’ should be taken with a pinch of salt. We are told that white-collar jobs, and mostly copywriters and even developers will disappear. Time will tell. I have my doubts. Jobs disappear and are replaced all the time anyway.
There is nothing new in that. The Booker Australia Email List Prize Awarded to ChatGPT? Of course, ChatGPT and its clones know how to produce mathematically plausible texts. But will we be seeing the Booker Prize awarded to Bard, BingAI or ChatGPT in five or ten years’ time? I doubt it very much. On the contrary, some authors will make fun of these machines, hijack them and use them as creative material. This will last for a while, and then we’ll move on to something else. Recently, I was looking back on more than a year and a half of using generative AI to create images for this website.
I realised that my own perception of the pictures that were generated was evolving over time. Initially, rather like children, we played with these tools (Midjourney and others) in an irrational way. We started producing images all over the place. Many users are still doing that today. LinkedIn is awash with these plastic images made by AI. Half-scary, half-demonstrative, they come in garish, stereotypical colours and are instantly recognisable by anyone with even the slightest training. AI revolution : over time, perceptions change. What used to be a game has become boring. Repetition even triggers fierce reactions from readers.
