Full Transcript
A few years ago, OpenAI developed a tool that was meant to just predict the next Amazon review character, and it ended up understanding all of human emotion. This is the danger of AI, and this is why I'm terrified of AI to this day. You never know what you're going to get. That same thing that could predict human emotion has now gone on to do research grade chemistry, and it became what is the chat GPT and the
AIS that we see today. It's just so interesting that you can start a model with character prediction and create something that will eventually take over all of humanity.
