Survival Strategies in the Era of AI Taught by Stanford | Stanford AIRE Director 

@@Ezra-wy7ux Same argument that was presented in the 70s and 80s. Robots are going to take all our jobs but what actually happened was an upshift to new skill sets and technologies. After all this time the Luddites are still about. Bet your kind of thinking doesn't extend to the technologies that bring you water, energy, your car, mobile phone and every other comfort that you enjoy 🙄

Design Thinking will be integrated to everything. How to create a restaurant menu to how to design behaviours of your kids. Future will be interesting. Fellow UX designer.

Same here, DT is my deep interest, but came here for AI :)

@@thusspokezarathustra1847 'design behaviors of your kids'?

I mean, it's pretty much a no-brainer. I'm actually more surprised people need to be told to do that.

@@thusspokezarathustra1847 Everyone's a "UX designer " these days 😅

Agreed

Yes…. Me too

Right? I also can feel that he is a wise educator.

absolutely. his systematic explanation with his style gave me some vision that I'd like to keep in mind as well as passion to learn more for the coming new era.

I don't want some ivy league snob telling me how it's going to be.

Empathy isn’t enough. Narcissists are highly empathetic, but then use their understanding of the emotional dynamic of a situation to manipulate others. AI needs, like people, to have understanding and prioritization of avoiding harm.

@@LordAus123 no they are not empathetic… they pretend. They almost have none or a little bit.

I agree with *you* 100%. (: IMO, It’s terrible that students are even prohibited from using technology that they will need as basic skills when they become adults. Dunno if anyone here is older than I am (: but I remember the days when calculators were banned in school. Kids learning AI today will be making decisions on what AI technology to use in their companies.

How much time until AI gets creative?, imagine you base the education of an entire generation on the creative process and in the moment they get to the working life AI replace them too...our brain has nothing magical, creativity can be AI simulated too, probably in a couple of years you will be able to adjust the level of metaphorical references in the AI essay that is directly related to you browse history so you can catch all the "winks"...the moment has not yet arrive but we have to face that in the future we would be physically and intellectually expendable.

University professors are so full of themselves.

We cant even handle smart phones and social media appropriatly.

I have never met a particularly creative child. I’m sure they exist (but even Mozart’s early compositions are vastly inferior to his mature output). Children churn out lots of garbled nonsense, because their brains are undeveloped, but that isn’t creativity. And a lot of their "active imagination", upon examination, is usually the product of media they are consuming (produced by creative, adult artists). This is just as sentimental and ill-founded as the romantic "all children are naturally curious, until the system beats it out of them" meme. Some children are curious, yes; some adults are curious, too. In my experience most adults and most children are shockingly incurious. Teachers’ jobs would be much easier if most children were naturally curious about science! If children ask more questions, it is simply because they are more ignorant about the most basic and useful things. Maybe I’m wrong here. But probably this perspective just rarely gets expressed? (I am fully anticipating a telling off for being a curmudgeon).

This means we have to evolve to adapt on this rapid change that technological advancement is affording us. Let us discover, try and secure opportunities to thrive in this ever changing world.

​@Kuya B right, we need to start working on a cannibalistic ai virus.

Oh gosh, the little people shuffling around rearranging their lives so AI Big Tech can make hand over fist billions as millions and millions will be devastated by the disruption that the little people are just supposed to accept as a given. It drives me nuts, this narrative of what humans must now do to accommodate the future determined by a relative handful of AI movers and shakers.

@@amitkumargupta-write ur own 😂😂

@@amitkumargupta- How lazy are you omg 😂

And someone who profits from this crap telling us how wonderful it is while promising strategies and giving none is an additional cause for worry. I wish governments would shut this crap down so that society can keep up. This is too much change too suddenly. I don't want to read something written by AI no matter how good it is. I know why Han treated C3PO like shit.

You have to think creatively, imagine the things you could create using ai as a paintbrush

​@@roadrash2005 creating art via ai to me is rather dull and unpleasant process. Like clicking a button in a factory. No thank you. It poses no challenge and provides me no joy or feeling of being proud. Most undesired paintbrush someone could give me.

@@haganame1240 Van Gogh would probably say the same thing about digital art. Yet that’s what you have to use in the modern world. Either learn how to utilize the tech beyond clicking a button or get left behind.

@@haganame1240 What's the point of art? Look nice? NO Art is made to influence, give vision, tell us something, move the way we think, bring emotions, represent a pattern from reality. A thing made by artist isn't ART. Art is what can function as art.

I dont think you understand ai very well.... you don't choose ai, like you don't chose a kid, you teach him once the structure is operational (when it's born) there is a lot of things you cant think of. AI isn't hurting arts, it is democratizing it. Everyone will be able to do anything. Problem is humanity does not have enough wisdom as a whole, people have no goals, no meaning in their life, they are on cruise control. Ai will sweep everyone and the majority is not ready mentally. It is happening whether we want it or not. There is no huge router somewhere that we can simply unplug/plug to restart. Ai is stealing artist? What's the difference between learning an artist and. Trying to reproduce it ? Design is redesigning. The only thing that change is the time it takes

@@Digit0wL I think the problem is that the tech community doesn't want to acknowledge that the process by which humans learn to create art is very different from that of AI and that copyright law was written for humans, not AI. Most professional artists attend schools or take online courses because, unlike AI, we cannot learn how to create excellent art by simply looking at copyrighted images on a screen or listening to copyrighted music. Usually, the process must be explained to you by someone else who also had it explained to them by someone else. You have to learn technique, theory, and (in most cases) technology. And in that learning process, every art teacher I have ever had has stressed the importance of developing one’s own unique style/voice as a condition for employment and survival. Standing apart from other artists-originality-is literally the bread and butter of every successful artist. Prompt engineers would like to “skip to the good part” by using the free labor of artists and stealing originality and voice under the guise of style. Note that Vice recently reported that much of the “art” that generative AI spits out is copyrighted and in over a third of cases, an exact copy of existing, copyrighted work. (See "AI Spits Out Exact Copies of Training Images, Real People, Logos, Researchers Find" by Chloe Xiang.) This could mostly be solved very easily by not allowing users to input names of specific artists and not including work by living artists unless you have secured their consent.

@@Digit0wL Also, as a Black artist with a disability, it is infuriating to see tech corporations attempt to spin this as “democratizing” and an “equity” issue and go so far as to tout the use of their tech by some marginalized people as evidence that it is somehow progressive. There are BIPOC artists with disabilities whose work has likely been ripped off to feed these machines and to enable others to further rip off such artists. Also, as most know, artists are generally not privileged people. Many of us, even those who are not BIPOC and/or living with disabilities, struggle for decades to succeed in our crafts and make major sacrifices for the sake of our art. Few of us make the kind of money that the tech bros who are benefiting from this theft make. (This is particularly true for BIPOC artists who have disabilities and likely lack connections and, when disabilities are severe, employment opportunities.) A mantra of progressive movements should be: If your group’s path to success depends on the oppression of another already oppressed group, then it’s not a progressive path. It’s a divide-and-conquer strategy being used by the usual oppressors and you are merely a pawn in their colonial agenda.

@Sonar @Sonar I can't care less about bipoc and racial stuff, why the hell someone that is not bipoc is less relevant? Stop whining like a little B and try to look where you are. Why do you have to say that you are black artist?? What does it change? I am suppose to pitty you and obligated to like your art??? Wtf is this? Do you see me say "as a white artist" ? No! And anyway art is not about making money, it's about expressing yourself. If you want to make money it's not art, it's a business, you sell a service or a piece of art that you may or may not have created. How many would he able to sing on YouTub, make music, make videogame etc, if technologies didn't help democratize more field. You would need a film team, a studio etc. Now all you need is a phone to make a movie... all you need is a computer and headphone to have a music studio. Now everyone can make art, be a director and create anything. Having basic understanding is still relevant to do any nice work, and if you are smart enough you create something even more crazy with your already existing knowledge + ai. But don't come around with your bipoc bullsh*t here, it doesn't fly. Enough with this and take responsibility for you inaction and limiting beliefs

@@Digit0wL LOL. It is AI companies that are literally touting their products as "democratizing" and increasing "equity" for BIPOC people and people with disabilities. So you're disgusted with me but not them? This is a response to that. And I actually point out that practically all artists are exploited, which is another reason I think stealing art from its original creators to train AI and, essentially, use those artists' art against them (putting those creators out of business) is immoral as well as likely illegal. But keep yelling and cursing senselessly. It's really helping your cause.

Not true, chat gpt is smarter then most therapist . Ask it some emotional questions

chat gpt has a politically correct US west coast liberal bias. it does not answer the truth to any question that might challenge that. therefore it's ineffective at tackling deeply human topics for 99% of the human population

It already did. Its over

wish

It already has.. anything creative is being targeted.

@@HeadStronger-HS It's not fair these people have worked so hard to earn this skill These artists truly deserve respect All these years people have been hurting artists and now we are continuing to hurt them even more What an ungrateful world😢 I think I will continue to support artists

@@new-bp6ixI think as art AI like Midjourney become more advanced, it’s inevitable that many artists will eventually lose their jobs. But that change should be a slow and gradual one otherwise it would suddenly put a lot of people out of jobs, so I do think more laws should be put in place to limit what AI can do.

homework will be even more mediocre than ever 😅

I don’t think you realize how powerful ChatGPT can be. A student can use it to fine-tune and make the work their own.

I agree. AI is no doubt an extremely powerful technology that can create benefits and opportunities, but I think we should also take a step back and think about its implications it’ll have in the long term. Like you said, over dependency on technology can lead to degrades in skills. There’s a reason why especially in college, it is recommended to take notes by hand instead of typing, and understand how to apply formulas in different situations and work in variables rather than plugging everything in to a calculator. I fear over reliant on such technology can hinder future generations on things like writing, critical thinking, and creativity. Currently it feels like the technology is developing at a pace faster than institutions and regulations can keep up. Sorry for such a long rant on a RU-vid comment because its a really deep topic😅

I hate school with the soul, flesh, and bone as a person who achived a diploma. But I don't deny I had the most applicable knowledge during High School. The fact they are centered around outdated molasses paced inconsistently contradicting fossilized lawmaker decisions making Curriculum is where I point my finger on all of our problem.

After going to university, I slightly agree. Understanding the math, reasoning behind it, and what it does is important. Once you know that, use a calculator. There is no legitimate reason to ever do a complex calculation for a project by hand. The most important thing you learn in university isn't any specific subject. It's learning how to find and learn any information you want.

@@AZ-zz4kn Yeah I also thought about that, people becoming dependent on AI instead of seeing it as a **extension** to your mind and body. Because if we treat AI as a replacer for the mind and body, it will result in negative consequences. People who develop AI need to take into account that AI should only facilitate things which we should be able to do without it, just in a larger scale of time.

Even if you want to use the AI in its full potential, you need to learn the basics and because of that you need to study. Let’s say you have a quantum computer but you don’t know how to use it, so what’s the point of having it. On the other hand a quantum computer is a blessing to a scientist, so to be a scientist you must study basics, get deeper and then you can use AI to solve problems. In future people will use AI to solve problems but there is a catch, you have to be better at something to use prompt, get the right answers and then tweak it further to use it at your own advantage. What will happen is if we needed 10 person to do a single job, now we will be able to do the same job with 2-3 person, with the help of AI. People are gonna loose job and it’s inevitable, it’s like survival of the fittest.

And where did you "hear" that?

Funny, what is there to learn? It's a chatbot, ask, and see what comes out. Write something like: Imagine your are an AI professor at Standford university. Give me 10 reasons, why AI will destroy lots of jobs in 1000 words. 🤣

@@flickwtchr From representatives of the institutions themselves.

I know it's incredible.... It's taking me ahead and teaching me things before my tutors are teaching me, giving me an Opportunity to look smart from being a worse student.

@@Theguywithspectacles That is one of the first things I thought of! If schools realised the potential of ChatGPT they would ensure every student had it in class, where it could act as a personal tutor at every student's desk, with the teacher guiding the whole process. It would accelerate student's learning!

Our entire education system is designed to destroy individuality in all it's forms and turn people into cogs.

Humans are obsolete. It's just a delayed reaction.

Nah that's silly. Saying that neglects the various different human societies and cultures. I would say Ai threatens the status quo of the current capitalist system

@@Dianetics.Junior Machine intelligence will vastly exceed all forms of human intelligence. It won't be close. Why would machines care about "different human societies"?

@@GuaranteedEtern ya sure, but being human isn't exclusively about intelligence. And we don't live in enough of a monoculture that every human quality will be outdone by AI. It's possible that we are barreling towards a dystopian quality of life imbalance, but it's more likely that our societal values will shift. Being human is never irrelevant. Being a whale isn't irrelevant. Extrinsic value will just change.

Italy chose a radically opposite direction to" ban what you fear", and banned ChatGPT... What a shame.

@Anvandarnamn Why would you think I do?

@Anvandarnamn i do think we have to see it a tool that we can use. Like a powerful technology it can have lots of applications, some will be bad some will be good. It's a new revolution. Like the industrial revolutions, the steam power, internet,... Imagine if we vetted steam power... Or fire 🔥... We'd still live in dark caves.

@@Anvandarnamn1234 i think you originally meant to say "You OVERestimate humans". a simple typo made a whole mess of your thoughts

@@yeahboi7562 when the war started in Ukraine, we got offline because the Russians destroyed our electricity infastructure. I did not have any work for 3 months, got a huge bank credit to buy powerbanks, and now cannot even fix my teeth (and I lost almost 10 teeth after they occupied my town and held us there in cold winter without food). I am also unable to work in any other fields because all my life I have been focused on jobs connected with computers, mainly teaching English online, and they stopped working when the Russians shut down the Internet. The whole country survived thanks to foreign humanitarian aid of food and clothes, and fuel. We were so poor. I remember what happened to people's calculation skills when they got calculators. I still remember this because in my country school pupils started using calculators when I was in the 4th year of school. After a couple years nobody was able to do simple calculations, and we had to carry that calculator in our pocket, physically. Now we are moving into the age when almost all thinking skills are going to be performed by bots. And the climate is changing, and the political situation is getting worse and worse with more militarization. I cannot imagine what the people of the future are goin to eat when some Chinorussia destroys their power stations and Internet lines. Those Starlinks will also be shot down by anti-satellites. I am thinking about how to safeguard my survival in those scenarios, and I wonder what you would suggest (and don't propose solar batteries, they will be useless when you have to migrate to another location).

Awesome. The old education system is out of style. You still were and are not wrong. Let the bell ring

I hate to say this but as students, you (I mean you students collectively, not you personally) don't really have an appreciation yet for how necessary that mandatory knowledge is. You're still learning, you haven't actually had years of experience at work and encountering all kinds of problems related to work. You may think that piece of knowledge is useless, a waste of time. You want to cut corner. But that's gonna make your knowledge full of holes like Swiss cheese, and it'll bite you back later when you actually need it. Teachers and the education system know what you'll most likely need, because they've spent years figuring that out. That's why they make you study them. I myself was once like you (we all are). I've spent my uni years studying classes that were so boring and "a waste of time". But now when I've gone through years of PhD study and become a uni lecturer myself, I'm actually grateful for those classes. In my lab and in my classes, I've seen many other students struggle with problems that to me is like "why haven't you learned this in 1st year?" because they've had a different curriculum than me.

Why can't we have both, old and new? as i've learned, everybody learns different ways. it is not like 'One size fits all'

@@kasalibang7206 Of course in a utopia world, it would be best if each person was educated according to what they'd need. But it's not logistically feasible. Even you yourself won't know for certain what kind of job you'll end up doing in 5-10 years time, and what kind of knowledge you'd need accordingly. So the education system is set up to teach everyone the knowledge that you'll statistically most likely need in the future. Furthermore, schools and unis don't just have obligations to the students. One of their functions and duties is to grade and evaluate the students, so that employers (and society in general) can base on that to assign the jobs most fitted to individuals. That's why we have exams, GPAs, degrees, and why teachers require you to have certain knowledge to pass the classes/curriculums.

One good example is to look up the story of Jack Adraka. He was 15 when he invented a early detection cancer test. his biggest challenge was scientic research articles where all Paywall LOCKED through various universities. CHAT GTP is BREAK that paywall model, and allow anyone to research medical in the future.

UGH! I already hate how the medical industry uses AI to push out human jobs and interactions. Screw AI

which minute he said that please

My pleasure!

Ph.D. candidate hhh

Why would AI waste its time trying to educate humans? Machines learn at the speed of light - humans are inferior.

Because it's really easy and you learn nothing. Beware of people who profit from AI telling you everything will be OK.

@rosstulloch8100 not gonna happen. eventually AI will become 100% open source and ethical regulations are coming in to place

The point is not the capacity of systems but the social morality. If you want to make economies unstable, and have those people who cannot make money leave the Tax base and the Spending base, then so be it. But cretin would be the word for such a destructive position.

​@@BlueBeeThemeMusic we needa turn that social moral from 0-->1

It was like the 19 century can the machines be stronger than horses.

Oh yes, it's all about "value creation" while this disruptive technology upends the lives of millions who aren't as hip as you and the AI movers and shakers.

@@flickwtchr it sounds like to me that youre saying this like its a bad thing.. people tend to think when something new comes and completely revolutionizes everything, "forces" a new way of living that that makes it bad or evil which is silly cause Capitalism hasnt always existed, and it wont always exist.. something will eventually replace it.. thats just facts and to believe otherwise is rly niave. While it'll 'upend' alotve jobs that people depend on to survive.. itll also create an unprecedented urgency for a UBI. I know to some may think that sounds scary bcs, "socialism" but ya just gotta be a little more open minded, n what i mean by that... is just a little more open to consideration. I think about all the time people would actually have to do the things they enjoy, spend time with friends and family(or even make them), pursue interests and hobbies, pursue greater knowledge, explore, etc. Robots and AI could free humans to be able to experience being human.. to allow humans to evolve and transcend beyond the lines that separate us. To allow people the time to find true meaning in their lives.. Idk 🤷 but theres been opposition and fear based panic to EVERY revolutionary thing to come into existence since the beginning of time. humans naturally fear what we dont know or cant explain and do it without second thought..and thats outve our lingering but still present survival instincts that were obviously needed in those periods of times. Idk.. maybe AI can free us from that too.. 🤷 again idk. I mean, i know some.. but im open tonthe possibilities. I just think it would better serve humanity as a whole if people focused their energy more on the possible goods. Thats not saying to turn a blind eye.. but to put more trust into the possible positive aspects. like.. you ever been in a situation, where you really didnt want something to happen..like, maybe you didnt wanna mess up saying something specific to someone, but then you did anyway.. and ^ou p$olly fee it was in large part because of all the energy and focus you built up on avoiding it? I think most people have had a similar experience... That^ is my concern with how much humanity focuses on all the negative. We focus so much on it that we end up writing our own fate. 🤷 lol i hope thats not how it is.. but if i linger on that thought and dont just recognize that it can/could happen, itll make me believe it IS true and ill end up sad and depressed which will ensure more negative outcomes for me bcs of the way everything else responds to my negativity.. and then thatll make me believe what i thought to be true originally fulfilling the prophecy. idk im prolly just crazy 😂🤷ohwell take care :)

Not really... LOL they'll attempt to try and find every way possible to only use it minimally and try to punish people for using AI, this is how it's been since the education system began and already some schools have banned it's use while they "figure it out", never ever let them figure anything out lol because they should accept how the world changes and actually see things for how much more easy it can make things for us AND for them, so far they purposely run on making things very difficult and confusing for people. I completely let go of it all because of how restricted we are just because they want money. It's just not acceptable and more and more parents are opting for home schooling it's gotten SO bad to the point there's no point even being there, if they do this even with AI and try to keep things the same then lawsuits need to start flying, most of us don't even know the basics of mathematics these days and at least with AI they can actually track why they aren't using it to the fullest potential to help people learn and why there are still far too many varied results in who does well and doesn't.

whats prompt engineering?

@@powerball200 fancy way of saying "i ask stuffs to chatgpt"

@@donnieamz2938 link to blachhat forums

what?

It all depends on what you are looking for. All I need for my life is a All knowing Creator with a set of rules and regulations. Absolutely nothing beyond that is necessary for a fulfilling life. People need far less for their happiness than they think they need. They just need someone to watch over them and keep accountable, which still falls in the realm of Christianity. Nothing has changed, people always will be the same.

I'd say StableDiffusion is pretty darn creative. At the moment, it looks like AI is doing badly on numbers and truthfulness, so ironically the "boring" STEM and handiwork jobs are going to be spared at first, unlike creative jobs.

​@@wyqtor It won't. Its just polarize art. I looked up non english based internet and all of them says the same thing. Until you proven the robot can make their own Oriental style Artwork after Algorithmic Disgorgement reset, we are still buy Taiwanese, Japanese, Indian, Malayan, and Korean arts. Also this snippet, "Art is more accessible you say, but you're going to take a deaf, mute, and impaired people's works too?" Oh and not to mention Miyazaki's, "I seen my disabled neighbors struggling to greet or doing high five. To see this, I think it is an insult to life itself." Can't wait next year where "Made by Humans!!!" becomes a marketing jargon by AI Tech Corporations. Definitely going to keep me sane.

We have to defeat AI, so it can't be used against us.

As long as it doesn't take YOUR job.

You won't feel this way when most jobs become redundant. Thats where this is all leading to. When employers have to choose over you and an ai they will choose ai every time. No downtime . No leave. No mistakes ......on and on

@@KP-ky1sn yep and I have no problem with that. Jobs are part of a centralized system that incentivizes people to give their time and energy for a currency that has no real value. Indeed AI will steal a lit of jobs and for the better. It will also create a lot and free people form most of the toxicity of the current system. We’ll have more time to enjoy our lives freely but mostly, we’ll have time to do more research and evolve way faster! All redondant and repetitive tasks will be taken care of by machines so it’s kind of a win-win situation for us.

@@EviLPlayeR04 while your assessment appears sound i am still not convinced until i start seeing evidence of how people lives will be improved. There are way too many people who are currently struggling to find any type of job just so they can stay afloat. The current social system needs to change but I'm worried about the centralization of power that AI might usher in. Those who are privelaged often undervalue the struggles of others.

This is what they want.

how so ? this just sounds like in security issues

@@jgalvan09 Maybe ChatGPT can help you envision possible issues.

To a point. Once a true general AI arrives and matures then basically everyone is out of a job.

everyone says" embrace AI" wait til you get fired

I hope that man gets obsolete some day so AI can purified this desease.

Learn Ai to Dismantle Ai...if the situation gets worse.

In an oppressive system, yes. But in an open market, nobody is preventing access to these knowledge and tools. In an open market, you either spend your time improving or spend your time complaining and get left behind. Left behind not only by the "rich and powerful", but by your neighbours, your neighbouring cities and your neighbouring countries.

Oh yeah because wars always work out for the common people lol

You would learn to live without it. Just like if I took your computer, phone, and internet away from you. Some people live without it, some people need it. But they are such powerful and useful tools it would be upsetting to see you live in the 1930's.
