Just How Dangerous is AI?

I just watched a piece on the Today Show about the “existential threat” of AI. It made me furious! Then, I realized that the people doing the piece (including the show’s tech reporter) know nothing about AI; they’re just reporting on the information they are seeing from fear mongers and the AI industry itself. This calmed me down a bit, but the piece was still nonsense. To their credit, the anchors of the show tried to get the reporter to clarify the issue, but it was hopeless. Too much jargon. Too much conflicting information. Too much opinion. Not enough facts.

If you’re not terrified about the potential downsides of AI, you don’t understand the technology well enough. That said, if you’re not thrilled out of your mind about the potential upsides, you don’t understand it at all. I will explain this in detail today on Shelly Palmer LIVE at 12:15 p.m. ET on YouTube Live. I’ll also talk about Theory of Mind, and I’ll demonstrate how to use it to dramatically improve your ChatGPT results. Plus, I’m going to demo some of my favorite plugins for ChatGPT, show you how Google is thinking about the future of search, and more. Set a reminder here.
