[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8906572, member: 6801845"] Yeah, it may well be disruptive in ways we don't expect. Just like Excel was back in the day as an extremely basic example. We take it for granted now, just plug in numbers and out pops our calculations, but all that bookkeeping and tracking used to take monumental effort. I don't know what impact AI will have, but AI can't think on it's own. It can crunch numbers, solve problems like predicting the shape of practically every protein. It's amazing. But it has to be directed, corrected and transformed into useful information. Our search engines are going to change and instead of pointing to articles, the AI may well give us the answer. But, and this is a big but, someone still has to write the article so that the AI can parse it out and regurgitate it. There's a lot of promise with AI, but there are also a lot of flaws. [/QUOTE]
