Looking at two types of functions: creation and maintenance, it seems that most of the AI effort is focused on the former. But we humans, as a group, like creating and are bored with maintaining. A computer programmer likes to write programs but not to look for bugs. A cyber security professional likes to design new countermeasures but not to maintain patches. An author likes to write drafts of his books but not to endlessly edit them.

Grammarly does some editing, but it's specific and small scale. **As far as I know** you can't give Grammarly a draft of a book and ask it to check for inconsistencies in characters, time frames, clues, etc. You can't ask it to propose alternative twists of the plot.

I hope AI developers will consider automation of boring tasks.

18. Games, "Back in 2017"… reads as if there should be a graph there.

Few points -

1. You missed out auto recommendation and suggestions used by social media, ecommerce sites.. which is another big area of AI application

2. A lot of progress in AI was made in last 5 years with innovations like neural networks, deep learning, reinforcement learning

3. I agree with last section -

There will be job creation and job destruction, but the speed of job destruction will be faster than that of job creation.

The speed at which innovation and disruption is taking place now and in the future is far higher than what happened in the past. What used to take 20 years now take 5 and in few years will take only a year.

Tomas i'd love to hear a bit more on the story behind the 3 horses deep dream art you generated. I loved it so much, I am gonna figure a way to get it printed for my study! Hope you don't mind :) I'll tell you why I loved that art piece when we talk next!

What will humans do? What should we do? GPT-3 is penetrating into more fields slowly and something as creative as Writing is also being replaced by AI. I think as AI gets entrenched more and more in the future, the demand for work created by a human can create a separate niche, like Made by a Human. An article on how to proceed with career planning amidst all this AI powered innovation would be really helpful so we are prepared for the future.

The easiest solution for heavy browser usage is to get a M1 Max MacBook with 64 GB RAM

Fabulous post. It's not ML powered, but my life has been changed by Workona for browser management. I've used many kinds of tree tabs, groups, etc before but Workona is 1000 times better. It "just works," naturally, fast, efficient. It implements "workspaces" of grouped tabs, notes, todos and resources, all in the normal browser, in a smooth, natural way. swapping workspaces is blindingly fast and in the background tabs are buffered and resource managed to reduce load on the browser. And it was midwifed by Manu Kumar, who also started Carta!

Jukebox from OpenAI (https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/) is another great example. Here AI is making passably good music, even with lyrics!

Hola Tomas, te ha faltado vizologi.com la primera herramienta española (desde Alicante) basada en GPT-3 para crear modelos generativos de startups. Estamos todavía en fase muy temprana, pero a finales de este año, con tan sólo dos keywords, generaremos business model canvas de startups, únicos, diferenciales, creativos y con bajo riesgo. Un gran post, buen resumen, te seguimos desde España también ; )

How interesting!! Thank you for this tour. It has revealed new possibilities for my work.

Regarding browser tabs... Horizontal tabs!? Holy smokes, there's the problem. Switch to a modern browser that includes vertical tabs and tab management tools. Vivaldi and Edge are two that I use.
