Love what you've done here, but listen. This is still way too technical for the average person. Too many terms are thrown in that people don't know. I'm only halfway through it, and already I could spend a lot of time looking up terms I've never heard before ... and my career was in IT (1978-2006). I can imagine people I know throwing up their hands only a quarter of the way through, and then calling me to ask a million questions. Next time, break it up into smaller articles, and don't introduce so many terms that developers use (or people familiar with IT).
This is why people prefer the use of their phones instead of computers. Nobody has to explain a gazillion in-house terms & acronyms in order for them to use those devices. I'm not one of them. I use my computers 99% of the time. Nobody has to explain anything to them in order to use AI without even knowing it. They're shoving that crap on folks with a force I've never seen before.
People don't even know search engines are using AI now, and it spits out inaccuracies that are difficult to explain. Happened to me yesterday with a friend who is not technical in the least. I ended up arguing with her to explain why what ChatGPT returned was inaccurate. My real-life experience was far more accurate than what Google told her. She would claim this article was too difficult to read after a few paragraphs.
Quite frankly, I'm horrified by the future of AI because it has fallen into the wrong hands and those people have little-to-no integrity. They don't care if AI is inaccurate as hell, as long as they can write their own bias into all those pieces. Of course AI doesn't care if it's inaccurate or has no integrity, either. Who is seeing to it that it does? It's a shiny new toy, and lots of people are having fun with it without realizing it's a whole system of systems with multiple entry points.
I know you spent a good amount of time putting this together and it's excellent for non-developer IT personnel. Good job.
Thank you KingRay, l appreciate your detailed feedback and you are right, l could have broken this into smaller articles and explained things further.
While it is scary to think about the future of AI, one practical route we need to be pursuing as a collective is AI Policy & Governance and use the different levers within the toolkit to shape the direction and the future of AI.
What do you see as a practical way to keep AI labs in check?
All bets are off, because people let the GOP embed no guard rails on AI for the next 10 years. It was embedded in that Big Bullshit Bill they signed last year. That’s why they have 0 integrity now … or accountability for whichever direction the techbros decide to go. We are screwed.
