Maybe people will find some clever way to expand this domain of AI-solvable problems by a couple of more categories, or (more likely) find a clever way of using applying these verifier for problems that was previously not viable, thus changing the solution to “just spend more energy computing dummy”. However I think this too will have its limits.
Regardless, this is still annoying and I want them to stop doing this. Solving math problems should not be relegated to whoever has the most money to spend the most compute.
Yes, human beings can do more now in some ways but...to put it poetically, I think there will be no more heroes like Einstein and Newton of the past. Now it will just be someone cleverly turning the crank.
Yes, we still admire Usain Bolt even though we have cars...but maybe the admiration is a lot more trivial than if we did not have them....
Personally, I think AI is a grand mistake.
This is false… there’s lots of ingenuity to be had and demonstrated. But it’ll only get recognised if it makes a material contribution to the economy imo. Otherwise yes it’ll be seen as meh - but that’s already happening.
People like Einstein were revered in society. The average person cannot name a leading scientist etc today.
When Jane Goodall died last year it was international news. She was a celebrity scientist for sure, I think she even made an appearance in The Simpsons. Ditto Stephen Hawking.
International news doesn’t mean much - the vast majority of people don’t consume news the way you think - I highly doubt the vast majority had any awareness.
