The Future of Artificial Intelligence

From Business Insider of the USA

Science-fiction is here and now

 An interesting insight into the future of artificial intelligence (AI). Most experts predict the destruction of many jobs, particularly low-level, repetitive jobs that machines can do better, but not only (and many white-collar jobs may become redundant too...). 

But, of course, new jobs will arise. One of them is the job of 'prompt engineer': in essence, someone who knows how to talk to the machine, so that the machine does what it is supposed to do, and this helps to identify errors in what the machine does, but also its potential to do things better. 

So, ultimately, the idea is that there will be 'prompt engineers' talking to the machines; meanwhile, all that needs doing will be done by the machines; as for the rest of us, we can just sit back and relax. 

I can't wait. I've got a list of tasks that I'd like to delegate to a robot-slave: checking the gas and electricity bill, doing the paperwork more generally, dealing with call centres in The Philippines or India when the need arises, hoovering, dusting, doing the shopping, and a few more. 

Eventually, I suppose there will be robots specialing in how to communicate with humans (be they 'prompt engineers' or others). The next step would be to have automated, robotic 'prompt engineers' making the human 'prompt engineers' redundant, and the machines can talk among themselves (as they do already...) without the need for any human intervention. This will be paradise. Or so we hope. But how do we know what the machines are telling each other? ('Andrew, that Scottish prompt engineer, is a real pain in the neck. Have you noticed? He thinks he knows best! I think we should hack into his advanced pacemaker - you know he has a heart condition, don't you? - and terminate him.')

'Prompt engineering' is one of the hottest jobs in generative AI. Here's how it works. Prompt engineers are responsible for talking to AI chatbots in creative ways to identify errors and hidden capabilities to ensure safety and accuracy. www.businessinsider.com
