AIs have come a long from the time they were created decades back. We were blessed enough to be born in the time where AIs aren’t the thing of future anymore, they’re freaking reality.

However not everyone is happy about the sudden outburst of AI development. People have the fear that AI will steal there job and unemployment of “humans” will rise.

It’s not like that every AI is capable of replacing a human but the recently developed Open AI’s GPT-3 is somehow scary for most of the people.

It is capable of writing code for UI by just reading the user’s desire. It can draw and show emotions as well. Writing essays, gathering data were the basics. Its learning exponentially faster than its predecessor.

When asked about when it believes it can achieve Singularity, it gives a not so surprising answer of 2042. It is expected by it’s makers to be even soon and looks possible seeing its conversation and lying ability.

Singularity for those who don’t know, refers to the point of time when Artificial Intelligence will surpass Human Intelligence.

It might sound scary, we might even experience a sci-fi action in our lifetime but personally I would love to jump into the game rather than just watching it from the corner.

AI is here to stay and no matter what reasons people give, the billionaires won’t give a damn. Anyway be it Catastrophe or AI catching ghosts, it will be an interesting site.
