ChatGPT

[John&Andrea]

Just curious, has anyone used this to plan a trip. I’m playing around with it. Seems like it may work.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Chat GPT is just for entertainment and will tell you things that are blatantly false if it thinks it's what you want to hear.

Glad that never happens on internet forums.

My only caveat would be if you're using the free version of ChatGPT Altman has incorporated a number of speed bumps ie., the number of messages you can access before you have to wait to reset and the depth of the information provided in order to incentivize users to migrate to the paid version. If you're using the free version make sure you know enough about what you're asking to detect if you're being led down a rabbit hole.
I think however something as relatively basic as trip planning would be a no brainer for the free version of any of the platforms.

Keep in mind that Chat's grandfather was the software that made up directions in GPS's. And what it still has in common is that it generally works great. Until it suddenly takes a left turn off a cliff or something. So to speak.
Essentially, sure it will work. Just be sure to fact check with some reality.

Given the energy it consumes and what it's doing to the price of computing components, I can't support using AI for anything.

Anthropic's CEO co- founder, Dario Amedai who along with his sister Daniella and all of the co-founders who like Amedai and Daniella migrated over from Open AI, claim that AI will supplant 50% of the cognizant repetitive workforce in America in 5-10 years. That means no more para-legals, remote workers, etc. Do the math, employers will be unencumbered of, payroll, health insurance, sick time, etc., AI doesn't scroll a phone, go on strike, sexually harass co-workers, ask for a raise, watch the clock, ......I understand what you're saying, but nothing is stopping this tsunami. I have a farm in N. Louisiana that 80 years ago employed 20 full time workers, today it employs one fulltime and one part-time except during harvest, both manage other properties as well and it's more productive than it was 80 years back. Times they are a changing.

All the more reason to fight against it where and when we can.

Who's going to drive the economy when everyone is out of work?

AI has a long way to go, maybe it will get there in 5-10 years. Maybe.
The marketing copy is much more advanced that the actual doing part is.

Now, I must head back and tell this AI agent exactly why what it is proposing as the solution is not gonna work.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI/ChatGPT, has been involved is a years long non profit project experimenting with the Universal Basic Income (UBI). You won't have a job, but you'll get a monthly stipend, so you can buy what they produce. Kinda like how the Eloi were to the Morlocks.

My job is one that AI can't take over, as is my wife's. I guess we're atypical as far as millennials go in that respect.

Cory Doctorow in "Chokepoint" points out the pandemic enlightened employers. If I can pay you to work from home, I can pay someone equally or maybe even more capable than you living in Mumbai or Luzon, less than you for the same work. "The World Is Flat" as Friedman wrote, Boston is right next to New Delhi. If I can pay someone in Mumbai or Luzon for remote work that AI can do for less, no hard feelings, but AI it will be. If a lawyer can get the same results from AI that he can from a paralegal he will go with AI. If you can get medical advice via a human doctor by telehealth, you can get medical advice given by AI. My primary doctor at our local VA clinic could be replaced by AI tomorrow, he looks at my bloodwork for 3 minutes and unless he needs to refer me to a specialist, we're done. It's no diiferent from automakers relocating so they can pay workers less, trucking companies busting unions, airlines offshoring maintenance, your city automating it's trash pickup, or WalMart using robots to clean the floors and take inventory. It's only business.

There are quite a few jobs that will be AI proof, but a lot that won't be too. If my job were cognizant repetitive or manual repetitive and I was in my 20's or 30's, I'd be looking into a backup.
