AI is replacing journalists, copywriters, and creatives in all industries.

July, 2023, LinkedIn

It's happening right now. 

Unlike loom operators, automotive painting booths, and redundant manufacturing processes, the creative arts were once thought untouchable by machines or any being possessing a level of intellect less than a painting elephant.

Not anymore. 

Every creative effort that involves a creator and a beholder is impacted by the 6 billion points of light ChatGPT can call upon.

What better to illustrate this than through the human beauty that is a sonnet based on the human-generated WSJ article- created in less than 8 seconds, 

by ChatGPT in the Style of Frost:

"In quiet fields where newsprint grows, I found

A tale of change that spoke with tempered might,

The words upon the page, a solemn sound:

"The robots have arrived to claim our plight."

For now they've come to seize the author's pen,

Their quills of steel and gears in place of hearts,

And in their wake, the question lingers, then:

What fate awaits the souls displaced by arts?

Yet still, the Earth spins on, as change doth turn,

In cycles of creation and demise,

Each era births a new, a lesson learned,

And with each fall, a phoenix tends to rise.

Embrace the march of progress, let it be,

For in its tide, we find our destiny."

Send in the Robots: They're Already Here #Tesla

Tesla unveils its latest humanoid robot, Optimus Gen 2, in demo video

the video is real...

The Convergence, in my humble view, is the point in time when all things become one.

Like a gravity well or blackhole, everything in the real; time, technology, society, politics, even our individual conscious, share the same space and time.

Think of it like how phone, cable, and the internet were all single, siloed disciplines - now they are one.

For Ai, another step toward general intelligence involves participating on the same physical versus virtual world.  Sensors come to mind as Ai connects to the sights, sounds.  

Those two senses are covered. Touch, taste and smell are not far behind. 

Actually, they are already here.
