⭐ Top Interviewers ⭐Common misconceptions
Watch VideosI think a really big common misconception when it comes to AI is that it's going to take everybody's jobs. I can't guarantee that that's not true, but I do think it is really important for us to learn how to use it, and I don't think it's necessarily going to be AI that takes our jobs, but I think it's going to be people that know how to use AI that will be taking the jobs. So I think people get really afraid of what it can do, which can often be a little terrifying, but I think it's important that we get on top of it, and we control AI, and we see how it can benefit our lives instead of just being fearful of it.
Another common misconception about AI is that it's new. AI has actually been around for a long time, well over 30 years. The difference about modern AI is that it's just better at mimicking human discussion and human sentences. That's what's so special about chatGBT. It's not that it's new thinking, it's just that it's a better model and a whole lot more brute force machine learning, meaning there's a lot bigger servers out there that we can use to run this software and to have it run more efficiently and therefore produce better results.
I don't think AI is going to take over the world as quickly as people think it is because so long as humans can still do something better, humans will do the thing better. So maybe a couple like math and jobs and things like that will be automated, but I feel like human interaction jobs, still like a good amount of marketing and things like that, like I think that will be good for quite a while still.
Most people actually feel like using AI it's making you lazy but I don't believe that. For you to be able to use AI effectively it means you should be smart and intelligent. You should know how to prompt to get a good result. So AI needs smart people to use them, it's not for dull people.
One of the biggest misconceptions about AI is that it can think. What it's actually doing is just guessing at what the next word to use in a sentence is. It does this through statistics and models and math and a whole bunch of complicated mumbo-jumbo, but in reality it's not actually thinking. It's just taking the average of what humans put in a sentence and spitting it out. It's very sophisticated, very interesting, but it does not think, and it does not create anything new.
Another common misconception about AI is that it will inevitably replace human thinking, and that it's just going to get smarter and more creative, and eventually will replace everything we do. This is not necessarily true. While it is theoretically possible that AI could eventually become human level of intelligence, the reality is a little more complicated. In fact, researchers are starting to encounter roadblocks where, in order to produce higher and more complicated levels of intelligence, it requires exponentially more difficult computing power and more processing power, to the point that it may become impossible to advance further.
