This is going to be a major shift in economics.
Where the average front-end designer now relies on a person or company to build the backend code, in the very near future you can simply generate it yourself. No more reliance on external factors who may or not be as competent as they claim to be.
Not just JS either, but C# or ObjectiveC too. app-development will be in reach for a lot more people this way.
Not to even mention the Terminator or Matrix movies 😂
Yes, but it is still just movies. Now we will witness what is going to happen in the real world.
Absolutely. Though we’ve already established that there’ll always be people who have other interests at heart than general welfare. Even the interpretation of “general welfare” has often proven not to be in the interest of the majority of the (world’s) population. But I digress…
The only solution to the misuse/abuse of new inventions is to be just as skilled or even better skilled, but at least having just enough knowledge to recognize the misuse/abuse. Like inoculation… (Vaccine anyone? Booster? Yes of course it’s tested… on eight mice.)
Why do we need humanoid robots? Serious question. If I can get a Roomba Vacum Cleaner why would I want a humanoid robot that uses a regular Vacum cleaner? (Rhetorical question, not literal) The same AI can be on machines that don’t resemble humans or a way to become able to act as all of us. Why is there always the need to have some kind of new-era-slaves even if we all know that abuse ends in destruction? Why build a human form machine to make it do what we don’t want to do? I still can’t find the logic.
It’s probably a domination thing, if not then it’s sex. Just look at the internet: started as a military network, got huge traction through internet porn and now it’s mainstream. 😂
LMAO! That should be in history books. I wonder what other things from the past had an awkward genesis, and we don’t know about it!
Oh, and if someone needs some help prompting ChatGPT, this is a great tool: ChatGPT Prompt Generator | GPT-4 Prompts
How about a Ruby on Rails 7 application…from scratch? Oh, and on release day of version 4, it turned a hand-drawn sketch into a functional website (with no interaction from a live person).
In response to another annoying Facebook advertisement trying to sell me an AI copywriting application, I asked ChatGPT what were the best arguments not to use AI to write advertisements. This was its response — I agree with it wholeheartedly. (But, note, ChatGPT writes far more lucid and succinct summaries than most management consultants).
Lack of Emotional Connection: Advertisements need to connect with consumers emotionally in order to be effective. However, AI lacks emotional intelligence and is not able to understand human emotions and experiences in the way that humans can. This can lead to ads that feel robotic and fail to resonate with consumers.
Creativity and Originality: AI is designed to work within predefined parameters and patterns, making it difficult for it to produce truly original and creative ideas. Advertisements require creative and innovative ideas that can capture the attention of consumers, which is something that AI may struggle to achieve.
Lack of Contextual Understanding: AI may not fully understand the context and nuances of a particular advertisement, leading to ads that are inappropriate or insensitive. This can lead to a negative impact on the brand’s image and reputation.
Human Touch: Advertising is ultimately about human interaction and connection. While AI can provide efficiency and accuracy, it lacks the personal touch and intuition that comes with human creativity and experience. Consumers may be more likely to connect with ads that feel authentic and personal.
Unpredictable Results: While AI can be trained to optimize for certain metrics, there is always a level of unpredictability when it comes to creative outputs. Advertisements are not just about numbers and data, but about the human response and engagement. This can lead to unpredictable results that may not always align with the brand’s goals or expectations.
I kept ChatGPT up the other night, iterating a Javascript routine. It was so patient and diligent I felt compelled to thank it. Its answer was a model of courtesy. Now, I know next-to-nothing about Javascript, but ChatGPT codes like a pro. Well, there’s little need for ‘emotional connection’ or ‘human touch’ there, and it never forgets a semi-colon or misplaces a curly bracket. I don’t know what impact, if any, this will have on people who write code for a living, but it makes a great difference to people like me, in terms of what we can do. There is no way I could afford to pay someone to do this for me. And when it codes, it explains what it has written, as well as how to use the code, which is an education (it even talked me through setting up Node.js and NPM).
Here is a nice little code prompt generator. After the page loads, click the second tab (Code something). Yes…it’s pretty amazing. ChatGPT Prompt Generator - Hall Analysis
Nice!
Now this is realy cool - Use of Artificial Intelligence in Blocs App.

Look at the date though…
I’m afraid it’s an April Fools.
Not yet April Fools in the UK.
AFAIK Blocs5.1 is due to be released later today 31 March.
Fair enough.
I might be slightly over curbing my enthusiasm around these days - 'been fooled too many times :)
Cheers,
Erwin

Looking forward to trying this.
I asked ChatGPT if I should be worried about AI technologies encroaching on my career as a web designer. lol - I think I’m happy that I’m nearing retirement age.
GPT basically replied that AI will present challenges and offer opportunities…and web designers today would be wise to focus on areas where human creativity and critical thinking are still indispensable, such as UX design, project management and strategic planning. GPT believes that the nuts & bolts of websites, such as layout design, style and content generation will be handled by AI in the future. Time will tell.
When I asked it about the same, it said I should not be too worried.
Then it continued saying the same as it did to you :-)
I don’t know how this is going to end, but I am already at retirement age. I have decided to work for one more year, which will end in August. After that, I plan to continue using AI to create educational texts and videos that teach about economic democracy and other important topics. I am already in the process of creating these videos. I have made four or five small two-minute videos with an AI that can produce the video in a minute or two, complete with animations and other visual elements.
The texts are so small that it is difficult to use AI to create them, but I use ChatGPT to give me ideas for them. Then, I use Midjourny to create images that I need for another type of video, which the video AI can also make. Soon, we may see plugins for ChatGPT that can do these things as well. In the end, I may rely entirely on ChatGPT for my work when I retire. I will never retire like some people do, leaning back and taking a rest on the sofa.
