Right, the reality is going to be nuanced. There will be niches where this tool will be helpful, and others where it doesn’t really make sense. We’re in a hype phase right now, and people are still figuring out good uses for it. It’s also worth noting that people are already actively working on solutions for the hallucination problem and doing actual reasoning. The most interesting approach I’ve seen so far is neurosymbolics. It combines a deep neural net with a symbolic logic engine. The neural net does what it’s good at which is parsing raw input data and classifying, and symbolic logic system operates on the classified data. This way you can have the system actually reason through a problem, explain the steps, correct it, etc. This is a fun read about it https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.00813
I do think the AI might present a problem for the capitalist system as a whole because if vast majority of work really can be automated going forward, then the whole model of working for a living will fall apart. It will be very interesting to see how the capitalist world grapples with this assuming it lasts that long to begin with.
