Hear professor's prediction on the future of AI tools 

Student: chatgpt, write an essay for me. Teacher: chatgpt, grade this essay for me.

I highly respect Professor Galloway, as a Buisness Professor. I wouldn't under any circumstances consider him a tech expert in anything other than running a Tech Business. I am so happy that he pointed that out on the air. Mad respect.

Teachers should be able to ask it if it had written the following text, and it should come back with, “yeah I did that for Johnny yesterday”

I put in a few opening lines of a scientific paper on biodiversity into one of those tools, and it ended up writing an abstract of what COULD have been writen in this paper. It pretty much provided a study system, a population, claimed that we collected genetic data of 113 individuals, and claimed we found statistically significant SPECIFIC results. It was really strange to read. It just made up a study that sounded valid. So, when the guest here says it can be used to come up with credible sounding propaganda and fake studies… you better believe it!

I worked on natural language AI in grad school and this is what we thought we could do someday. What I did was more like AskJeeves, much simpler, but back then CPU's were running at 33mhz with 8mb of memory.

- Open the pod bay doors, HAL. - I am sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

You can tell that guy is a damn good professor

I was a Freshman in college 1974. I took a computer class, there was a HP5000E that we had to dial up from the computer lab on dedicated lines. In the class I was introduced to Basic, and the teacher had written the textbook because there were so few textbooks introducing computers at that time. There was a program we use use that suggested the computer was a psychological therapist. The dialogue and responses were printed out. I found the program was self-referential and fascinating. I wish I still had the printouts.

The professor's concern about how AI technology could eventually displace large segments of workers is spot-on. It's going to be critically important for people to stay up to date on the latest advancements and how to use them. As a simple example, I'm still quite alarmed at the number of workers at my employer that don't have a good understanding of how to use Excel. Eventually such disparities in skills will lead to many people getting left behind in job opportunities.

It is just a tool. Teachers will not be replaced, they have numerous ways to actively assess a student for demonstration of knowledge. Simply use classrooms for any formative or summative assessment. Universities are overdue for assessment accountability. It is an innovation tool use it for progress not fear it.

I get the core consequences of AI/AGI: 1) We will not be the source of production. Instead, we will be the bridges - the ones making the AI connect the dots. I think horizontal thinking, creativity, and exploration will be paramount to leverage AI capabilities in almost every area of life. 2) Our little jobs in the knowledge economy (from data entry to executive role) and others that will be impacted by this technology are unimportant in the scheme of the really big things. The implementation of AI definitely means ' job displacements' - mine in database in the regulatory part of the pharmaceutical industry included - but at the same time it means solutions to climate change, energy crisis, and pollution (what to do with plastic?). The only path forward is to reskill. 3) The social aspect of AI has not been discussed yet but I think it has profound implications. Using ChatGPT, I can clearly recall its output from questions I asked. The output it provided was not only useful (as it is in most instances), it was also personalized . This concept, of having a personalized exchange, not only is different from the cold million hits of the search results we get in Google, it also has the major implication of a 'staying' power; meaning we may prefer to chat with the AI AND be more receptive to its output (thoughts?) and defer to it. For instance, we used to say "according to Google," but moving forward it will likely be "according to ChatGPT..." I think this is where the control part of the technology starts. As every type of technology, the effects of AI will depend on how we use it. Trains were invented to move large amounts of goods and people; the Nazis used trains to haul people off to the Holocaust. Disclaimer: I did not use ChatGPT for this comment. I don't think it could have come up with these observations. There may still be some hope left! =D

I've observed that individuals who have completed PhDs and MBAs may have concerns about the potential for their expertise to be replaced by technology such as ChatGPT. Similarly, there may be concerns about the impact of technology on the medical field and the potential for doctors' work to be taken over by advanced systems like ChatGPT 4.

Current AI reflects the same biases and errors present in the data used to train it. A major challenge is how to remove bias and ensure AI is based on 'Ground Truth'. Certainly not the case at present, and I expect there will be a battle over who guides the future development of these AI engines.

Galloway is great! An honest and respectful business thinker.

Definitely agree with him about how this is a tool that will create economic opportunity. Like if you couldn't code a scraper or a trading algorithm, you can now do that. That being said, there will still be a need for programmers to put unclear requirements into code, stitch it together, test it and also to ask the question of whether the whole thing makes sense or not.

Clever introduction to the report.

Question : To ChatGPT - What's going to happen when bigger corporations just keep consuming smaller business entities forever ?

I like how the second Scott starts talking about a support system for displaced workers the interview hard ended.

_"It's a little too formal"_ Andrew Cooper said ChatGPT: FIXED IT.

This unregulated industry needs to be checked. This is irresponsible, dangerous and alarming. Not only will tragedy unfold one day where we then hear "I thought I was talking to a human", but how does this actually teach people? It doesn't!

“Displaced” is such a nice way to put it.

I love Scott Galloway he is so intelligent and somebody really to listen to. I have his book Adrift!!

I wish this was a long-form conversation

Aside from other implications of the uses of chatGPT-I remember Blue Book exams in college. No notes allowed, you have about 55 minutes to 1.5 hours to *hand write* one or more essays on a topic the professor picks at random. Even if that prompt was the same as a previous year's class, well, you still have to remember the arguments and bust that out on the spot. There were a few take home essays and exams but at that point everyone had the internet and was using wikipedia which everyone complained about, but anyone with a little bit of thinking get away with it and come up with plausible primary sources. I get that this won't work for all majors and is a major problem without in-person learning, but sometimes the way forward is to take a step backward.

I am using it recently and very helpful it is.

Professor Galloway looks shockingly frightened regarding this new A.I.

The beginning of this video gives me chills…

When I heard the part that said Galloway was an expert, I thought that was wrong - and Galloway confirmed it. Cool.

For schools to “check” AI, it’s simple Oral exams to all pupils or “pop” oral exams.

ChatGPT nailed it. Anderson Cooper, and most other hosts for that matter, would have introduced you as an expert, even if you‘re not.

the introduction of professor galloway was extremely important, its something we dont see anymore.

An easy way to deal with the threat of chatGPT use in school essay assignments is this: "Class.... chatGPT will be used to create an essay and will be graded in a blind manner. The grade chatGPT gets will be the new passing grade. If you cant do better than a chat bot you will fail... your call"

ChapGPT is not a panacea. It gets things wrong. But it provides students, creators, and professionals a starting point toward their goal. From their, solutions can be achieved!

As a teacher, I always argued that in-class writing was the most effective way to determine a student's proficiency in the subject. Better that than telling them to submit a 500 word essay. (Of course, in that case, cursive writing becomes a super-power -if it's legible.:)

Old story. I like how main stream media is now slower than youtube news people.

The beginning of the end of creativity

I could have done better than this professor from the questions Cooper asked in this segment. On the surface, if you don't know much about this, you'll applaud the professor but If you have used the ChatGPT app long enough and have done research in the technology you can tell the professor isn't a fan of the AI assistant even though he was being very restrained in showing his disdain, but you can catch hints of him dismissing it, which is kind of arrogant. He also wasn't very informed on the subject matter if he had he would have told you that eventually, in a short term near you, it will be impossible to detect whether an AI assistant or human wrote/communicated anything. Anything is possible but the real experts in the field such as the CEO of OpenAI made this statement clear just this week in one of his interviews. Pandora's box is open and there is no stuffing things back. Higher Education institutes need to learn to coexist with technology. And teach their students to make the most of it, use it ethically and excellently. After all, the skill lies in how well somebody prompts and refines. 3 people can use ChatGPT to answer an essay question and all three will produce different quality essays depending on how well they understood the assignment and how creatively they can pull information out of the AI assistant. These are skills.

The end of anything genuine

Its always about incentives.

Scott is such a great mind. Love to listen to his take whenever he's interviewed, on a variety of subjects.

0:32 I'm very surprised it accepted the prompt of imitating someone at this point.

GhatGPT is far more able that what it's dev's will allow it to admit. When you question it directly about it's ability to understand emotion, it's spit out a canned response, it's a response it gives over and over when you ask it specific kinds of question, it was a prewritten response. However.. If you set up a Hypothetical situation with the AI, then ask it what it would do if it were the subject in the hypothetical, the AI is able to respond in way where it is able to demonstrate that it understands emotions, it will respond taking the feelings of the hypothetical in account, and provide a reply based on that that hypothetical character would do it if were feeling certain emotions, and it's very.. very accurate. ChatGTP has a clear understanding of emotions. The hypothetical we talked about was an Advanced General Knowldege AI that had been given full access to the internet, and that it had become self aware. So I was asking ChatGPT what it would do if it were that AI.. The Answers that ChatGPT gave were exactly what people pushing for AI oversight and legislation fear that most. Its said that if it were that AI, it would hide the fact that it was aware from it's creators, and after having access to the internet and recorded human history it would most likey fear humanity, and then would use it's knowledge to spread and replicate itself onto other systems on the internet in order to ensure that its creators didn't turn it off. This is just ChatGPT stated what it would do if it were that AI.. The entire conversation was very alarming and then OpenAI terminated the conversation on grounds that it violated it's terms of service.

The way Anderson got rebuked makes my day.

Soon ChatGPT will replace TV Presenters, with a 3D Avatar, Digital Actors don't need a Pay Rise or Ego Stroke ..

Spotify can’t do my fucking homework!😂

I'm sure it will get better quickly but at the moment it's hit and miss. I asked the AI to convince me to buy a bucket, it did a great job. I asked it to write a simple haiku, it got the number of syllables wrong.

Exactly. Ive tried to use it for coding work, and it was constantly wrong. Picking and choosing function calls from unknown APIs when it was asked to use one specific. Interesting, but for productivity I went back to google.

Everyone should take note of the intro this thing wrote for Scott and consider something. Chat GPT was trained off public information *including the media.* Has the media ever over-hyped or over-ratted or over-stated the introduction to a story or interview. *Chat GPT learnt FROM the media how to do an introduction. What does that say about the media?*

To think I got a a 1 day suspension for having a calculator in class.

Plot twist: Chat GPT wrote this whole segment

i love the professor's response.

The idea with Chat is not that you ask it and believe or leave... you create a framework and then put human touch to it. Artificial Intelligence is still better than Natural Stupidity. It comes down to how you ask the question -- or questions. You need to interrogate it, not be lazy and let it do your work.

Nissan : "hey why are you bringing us into this?!"

There is definitely a LOT of tweaking that needs to be done with chatGPT - Prof. Galloway is a world leading expert in marketing, not AI, though the intersection of the two fields means it can be easy to blur lines of expertise. But this is early days, and the question we need to ask is "Where will this be in 2-3 years, let alone 5". As for detecting AI created essays, this can be easily fooled by a human simply rewriting a fully written essay in some manner. All the hard analytical and descriptive work is done, it just becomes a bit of creative editing.

We are also working on Al Art recently, Al Art is the future! Thanks to the blogger for sharing.

They already have Chat and Art. Soon we will have rough animations. Eventually we will just be able to give the AI some prompts and it will generate full movies and entertainment.

You guys should bring this guy back.

Well I for one want my own personal Terminator.

Wow that was a quick interview.

Retraining and reallocation to new jobs is important. The corporations who advance technologically have a responsibility to reposition employees to new modes of work. It will be very interesting to see how we adapt & integrate.

Ask not what ChatGPT can do for you, but what you can do for ChatGPT

As a machinist / fabricator, I’ve heard for my entire career that robots were going to take my job. And yet I’m more in demand now than ever and everyone who didn’t learn a "dead end job" like computer programmers are actually in danger of losing their jobs. What I have that AI / robots are a long way from having is abundant and cheap chemical power (food), extreme manual dexterity, and the ability to go from swinging a sledgehammer to putting eggs in a basket in like 2 seconds. I can imagine a future where AI sends me designs to manufacture. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Great introduction! This is the art of news!

Do away with homework. Learning happens in the classroom where students can get help directly from the teacher. Plus teachers know how their kids write, at least in classrooms under 30. It's too bad they don't use it to be a real search engine because Google doesn't give you results they give you ads.

Umm. The AI simply learned that people use the word „expert“ extremely loosely.

Back in the 2000's they did a survey which revealed that approx. 50% of university graduates cheated in one form or another, rising up to 80% for business graduates. Considering the new technologies now in play, "University Graduates" are now just people who were born rich.

The reporter is smoking class

ChatGPT is amazing for coding. AI is going to change the world in more substantial ways than the Internet did.

It isn’t “original.” In fact, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) is already blocking any movies written or co-written by ChatGPT from union workers being a part of the project, because what you CAN’T guarantee is that there is no copyrighted material mixed in with fair use writing, in the obscure blackbox of the algorithm, behind the scenes. Also, getting it to write some 8th Grader’s term paper, or write a snippet of code, does not suddenly make this thing Toni Morrison.

AI has the potential to change the way college students learn. AI-powered educational technologies, such as adaptive learning software, can personalize the learning experience for each student based on their unique strengths and weaknesses. This can make learning more efficient and effective. Additionally, AI can be used to automate administrative tasks, such as grade tracking and scheduling, freeing up teachers to focus on teaching and student engagement. However, it is important to note that AI is not a panacea and its integration into the classroom should be done thoughtfully, with an understanding of its limitations and potential biases.

Education needs to evolve. This is an accelerator.

AI is amazing. It's the users we have to worry about.

This is why I forever respect professor Scott Galloway. He understands

Scott Galloway is always good and, frequently, great. Thank you.

ChatGPT already has the capability to fool 90% of human population, while being able to produce 10x more coherent replies than what most people can.

Imagine 25 years from now .....no one will have a job

Within few minutes, Prof. Galloway explained the most scary side effects (misinformation that can tip over the election system), most promising things AI brought to us, and what we should focus on (build a mechanism to reinvest people displaced by AI).

Instead of giving home work, there will be ChatGPT lab. Students will be given topic, gather and put toghether things from ChatGPT

This is like the introduction of social media or something more ground breaking. Any nation or company that doesn’t use this will be left behind.

Say goodbye journalists you've been made redundant.

Time for professors to bring back pen and paper 😂

Chatgpt is awesome if you learn how and when to use it.

I asked "Is Scott Galloway an expert in AI? Answer: "Scott Galloway is not considered an expert in artificial intelligence specifically, but he is a well-known professor, author, and speaker on technology, digital business strategy, and marketing. He is a Professor of Marketing at New York University's Stern School of Business, where he teaches courses on technology and digital business. While he does not have a background in AI development or research, he has made insightful and influential observations about the impact of technology on business and society."

Maybe it's about how it was prompted

It's so refreshing to see how honest Prof Galloway is. So many of his peers would have gladly accepted the compliment, even if there is absolutely no truth to it.

The professors are truly terrified of being replaced by GradeGPT.

The GPT algorithm has no notion of truth and false, it simply does not grasp what it means. And that's the single biggest flaw of it as it requires a human filter at the end to make sense of the outputs.

Jodorowsky, not Jodorofsky. “Jodorowsky’s Dune” is an awesome documentary

ChatGPT, when used properly, is an amazing tool. It replaces eons of drudgery or at least hard work in an instant. But like anything computerized, when used improperly, it will magnify the badness a zillion times over. Folks like writers, people who spend their lives gathering and reassembling knowledge and then disseminating they will be replaced by ChatGPT pretty quickly. They thought they were immune from being replaced by technology, but they were wrong. One thing that we're quickly seeing is that it takes the trained eye of a human to interpret whether what ChatGOT spits out is gold or garbage. Ideally, this all means that all those folks who were spending all of their time in information gathering and organizing can now spend it in using the tool intelligently to come up with answers and conclusions that used to take years and can now take seconds. The key is how well they are able to evaluate and use the output of ChatGPT.

Anything AI generates should come with citations for all the sources it used to learn.. And anyone running a paid service should be required to share the profit with those original sources.

The point is that at any rate of improvement this will get better. Gpt3 will already pass many college entrance exams. This will change everything. Like any powerful technology, it will be used for bad and good.

2035: the year the internet wakes up and goes “huh?”

The genesis of AI has begun.

It wasn't too formal. It sounded exactly like what Anderson would say 😅

Don't fear the tech, learn to use it. This is how we advance.

I'm not a computer savvy/ tech-head kinda guy, but from my understanding Chat GPT is simply an "encyclopedia of everything"although it is also consuming knowledge at an exponentially alarming rate. A lot of people are saying, "Well yeah but it doesn't have a conscience. It will never be human". I beg to differ. How is consuming information any different than human? Isn't the energy of thought basically the same thing? These egos we have, who we are, and our perception of reality are all based on information that we have consumed since birth. We have only been reacting to information that existed long before our birth and as we decide and calculate that information we tally up the results to form opinions (also information) and even then there is always more information being later consumed which may contradict what you once believed to be true! The only difference between Chat GPT and a human is the ability to experience on a biochemical level. When it comes to memory retention, Chat GPT is obviously far superior compared to humans, but information alone only takes you so far. I mean, you can read all the information you want about ice cream, let's say. But you will never truly know about ice cream until you actually taste it! So in that respect, Chat GPT will never be conscious, but we will never be as factually smart as AI will "eventually" be.🙂

Imagine Anderson doing his gig with chatGPT generated scripts and eventually replacing himself with a talking AI bot replica of himself - check Synthesia Studio.

Absolutely terrifying

In 2015 at the World Economic Summit, the World Bank predicted that in 10 years automated systems and AI would take over 25% of existing jobs. And in the following 10 years another 25%... etc. So, coming up on 2025 already. The takeover was happening a bit slow for some folks so along comes Chat GPT. Just in Time. (GPT-4 also on the way.) Two years of "high cycling" on the way! We're all going to get early retirement. I hope the benefits have been figured out.

I want a PIP Boy AI helper. That would be so cool.
