  1. I used to do voice work for clients and a year ago the work dried up due to AI as they now just use that.

  2. If Moores laws applies to the compound progression of A.I, give it 2 years and I’m confident it will produce a brand new film on the fly based on your “monitored” behaviour. The coming election in the USA at the end of this year will no doubt be a dark prelude to current technology. I’m expecting a deluge of A.I generated content built to sway opinion.

  3. People must understand that automatic fortune-telling, aka predictiveness will never be accurate, because it doesn't take under consideration things that might happen unexpectedly. Second, now we know why so many movies suc these days.

  4. Scripts and songs are for the most already completely stereotyped, mediocre and predictable, and with AI, is only to get still worse…

  5. We use it to generate small simple contracts at work, so we no longer have to pay the lawyer!
    Personally I am looking forward to it replacing Politicians, I honestly think it would do a much better job.

  6. If you are human, then your job can be done by A.I. That's just the way it is. No exceptions, no excuses, no apologies. If you aren't faster than a computer… if you can't work 24 hrs. every day like one… if you can't remember and store information as well as one either… it's over. 🙂 Accept it! Essentially, if you're not already a part of the 1%, you are even more worthless than you were before A.I.'s big "growth spurt"! LOL

  7. AI should replace doctors dentists, politicians, businessmen, etc. rather than waiters, cooks, dishwashers, etc. They just want to replace poor paying jobs with AI.

  8. When we neuter western AI companies with copyright lawsuits and the like I wonder, would Chinese companies bother?

  9. Not in this video: working class people, you know those people who got jobless or downgraded on the job market because 'technologically-driven globalisation' was inevitable. Learn to code, I guess, upper class people!

  10. The beatboxer’s music was sick with the AI but I don’t think it translated as well to the dance choreography
