I found some of the replies interesting [0]. In the list of social issues caused by AI advancement, I'm not sure how much focus is given to the potential backlash against the companies and individuals leading us here. [0] twitter.com/UsualTomo/status/1640741657…

Unfortunately I don't tie my real identity to this account. The high level TLDR is that no one actually wants to interact with UIs (or software in general) in 99% of use cases, we just want the results we get from doing so. And as we see automation tools like the OP appear, we're going to be forced to do so much less. The companies that don't align to this new paradigm are going to die out, because their competition that makes interactions for customers easier are going to win the market share. If you don't agree with imminent, don't take my word for it. Richard Ngo at OpenAI predicts this by the end of 2025. Less than 2 years away. twitter.com/RichardMCNgo/status/1640568… > if you think about it there is a massive amount of waste in developer developing the same UI widgets over and over ad infinitum My blog also touches on this. 95% of consumer-facing software is the same concepts and UIs repeated. It's all CRUD stuff using one of 30 (made up number) UI elements arranged in roughly the same ways. There's a massive amount of training available of the translations of data and code into UIs. It's a logical next step that we will build software autonomously based on a (no)SQL database alone, and that (no)SQL databases will be autonomously created based on structured business requirements alone. Whoever makes either step of this process work really well, either the database to UI part, or the requirements to database part, will make an absolute shitload of money.

GPT-4 is still not dangerous. Given the rapid progress trajectory though, GPT-5 and later which may be developed in a few short years could very well be, esp in the hands of a smart sociopath. (History shows there are many who could cause real-world harm. Imagine them armed with a 24/7 agent with expertise in dozens of fields.) See these predictions of AI in 2025 by an OpenAI insider and a former DeepMind research engineer: “I predict that by the end of 2025 neural nets will: - have human-level situational awareness (understand that they're NNs, how their actions interface with the world, etc) - beat any human at writing down effective multi-step real-world plans - do better than most peer reviewers - autonomously design, code and distribute whole apps (but not the most complex ones) - beat any human on any computer task a typical white-collar worker can do in 10 minutes - write award-winning short stories and publishable 50k-word books - generate coherent 20-min films “ Source: twitter.com/RichardMCNgo/status/1640568…
