I once worked in the med biz as an engineer. The founder of the company was a very well respected surgeon. He said... Most doctors are idiots. Med school selects or rejects based on memorization skills, not intelligence, inventiveness or problem solving skills. If you can't memorize vast quantities of stuff quickly and accurately, you fail.

Maybe AI tools will help fix this

There is nothing wrong with exploring immature tech, it's actually a really good thing
The problem comes when people trust it without reviewing its results
Any doctor who believes the results generated by AI without review deserves what they get

I want AI tools that help me find the videos I'm interested in, whether or not they are popular or monetized

...are nonsense
The proper approach would be to allow customers to try the AI tools for free and give honest feedback
Customers should be advised of the existence of the AI tools and given the option to use or not
The AI should not be forced or otherwise coerced and should be easy to turn off
If something is really good, people will choose it voluntarily and even pay for it

I mostly dislike them
Tattoos are a fad that I despise
They violate the rule, never make decisions that are difficult or impossible to reverse, especially while young
People change a lot over their lifetimes

Any time an AI is given permission to modify or delete files, it should be on an isolated computer, preferably airgapped, but always isolated
It should be assumed that the AI will misbehave and cause damage, so backups are essential
The entire exercise should be treated as a dangerous experiment

Laws that require backup noises make no sense and cause problems

...companionship or therapy are a misuse of the tech.

If I was searching for a product and AI accurately determined the best product that fit my needs, I would consider it useful.
If instead, it pushed whatever it was paid to promote, even if the product was crap that didn't meet my needs, it would suck mightily.

...hate the socially expected practice of giving gifts at certain times of the year and realize that many of the gifts are crap that ends up being returned or trashed.
Let the robot do it, a great way to avoid socially expected misery

I'm a huge fan of AI. I predict that it will help us solve previously intractable problems in science, engineering, medicine and maybe even politics. Artists and musicians already do what they do beautifully. We need AI that does things we can't do.

Unfortunately, some are misusing AI tech to make "art" and "music". I accept the possibility that some of it may actually be good, but strongly suspect that most of it will be artless, mercenary slop. Even worse, the general public tends to follow silly fads, and this one may be no different. I hope it fades fast.

Viewed from a different perspective, this is not new. Pop music has effectively been made by a system that acts very much like AI. A highly skilled team of trendmongers figures out what's popular and hires a team of composers, lyricists, arrangers, engineers, choreographers, video directors and studio players to copy it almost exactly, including just enough difference to avoid copyright lawsuits. This is very nearly the same method that LLMs use.

Musicians will continue making music, it's part of our essence. The music business is a different story

...are three different things
From what I've read, their technological problems is that there are too many rules and their economic problem is that labor laws restrict flexibility

The cloud is a trap
Run away

In practice, it's more likely that the best workers will use AI to become more productive, while carefully reviewing its work and correcting if needed
Yes, this will reduce the need for some poorer quality workers, but it's silly to believe that today's AI can operate unsupervised

The useless crap that used to be made by bad writers is now made by robots
