re: "A.I. Is Mastering Language. Should We Trust What It Says?" (The New York Times, April 17, 2022)
The algorithms that run my internet banking and online shopping, that stock Amazon's warehouse shelves ready for me, that control the robots making cars to move me around, and that manage heavy farming and mining machinery to feed and otherwise support me did not need any "real" intelligence to radically change the world in my life time in ways that were not and could not have been anticipated when I was born 62 years ago.
Is there any reason to assume we are now any more competent to accurately predict how the technology we are creating today will refashion our lives in the tomorrow that is the remaining decades of my life?
The only prediction I would venture is that the coming decades will be no less exciting than the last few.
