About:

This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

A personal AI assistant that knows you and your needs better everyday (19.05.2023 reddit repost) (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

With the rise of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, I really look forward to having a personal AI assistant that has long-term memory and can learn what I like, hate, want and need. It could help me like a real assistant or even a partner. It would know my strengths, weaknesses and could give me a plan to become the best version of myself. It could give me very personalized advice and track my progress on various aspects of life, such as work, relationships, fitness, diet, etc.

It could have a model of my mind and know exactly what I prefer or dislike. For example, it could predict if I would enjoy a movie or not (I know we already have recommendation systems, but what I'm saying is on a next level, as it knows everything about me and my personality, not just other movies I liked). It could be better than any therapist in the world, as it knows much more about me and is here to help 24/7.

I think we're very close to this technology. The only big problems to achieve this are the context limit of LLMs and privacy concerns.

What are your opinions on this?

That's a good point, yes. I'm not here to stop you from anything. My worries were directed at people who do not need it, but will use it anyways because it's more comfortable.

Maybe like motorized transportation has been a blessing and enabler for many, while also allowing others to move much less than they can and should to stay healthy.

Another thought: I'm not sure if I fully understand your situation and goal, nor do I mean to make this personal in any way. But if it is about 'catching up' to a perceived level of 'normal' ... the thing is, the baseline for 'normal productivity' will likely rise when new productivity enhancers become widely adopted. Technological advancements can mean we have to run faster and faster to not fall behind.

It's not about catching up but being able to function at all and being able to maintain a healthy lifestyle without being overwhelmed by everything.
