That it is useful, and a civilization would be diminished if it doesn’t use technology. GLM 5.2, as of now, is able to almost perfectly copy Pac-Man. While this is a model that has a 700gb footprint for a Q6, we can expect future models of this ability to be usable on gamer hardware within a decade. My guess is that DDR6 RAM is roughly where we get to the turning point for local models.
What this means in practice, is that it would be much easier for non-programmers such as artists to have an local AI handle the parts of game development that they can’t do. Same goes for programmers who can’t draw worth a damn - I watched a video of Touhou EDM music, and the character depictions by an AI were quite nice looking. Individuals, provided they have the hardware, will become able to see many ideas and desires to fruition, as they don’t have to rely on acquiring other humans or venture capital.
Depending on how the cards play out, this could go a great way towards destroying capitalism as we know it. A burger flipper wouldn’t be able to pay a living salary to another person to create things - but an AI can be a much smaller investment. That same burger flipper might be able to create media or other AI assisted projects, that would otherwise be impossible on their budget or time.
Many humans claim to have imagination, but the luddites of our day seem to lack it.
A bicycle will transport me in the same manner every time I use it. A calculator will always give me the correct result of 2+2.
What was your point about AI again?
