From what I can tell on Twitter and people using OpenAI ChatGPT to take their finals for them — we are all very fucked. People — and especially young people — are very, very lazy. They somehow thing that by not putting the work in and using at chatbot to pass a test that they are somehow gaming the system when, in fact, they’re just hurting themselves.
This is probably the closest we’ve ever come to the Singularity. And it’s only going to get worse. We’re probably going to be awash in chatbots soon enough and, what’s worse, we’re may be well on our way to Artificial General Intelligence by as soon as the end of the decade.
So, either we’re going to have to restructure significant parts of our society to address how fucking lazy people are, or we’re going to find that by default our entire civilization revolves around asking a better question of a chatbot or AGI.
We are just not prepared for what may be about to happen.
