Former OpenAI Researcher: AI Will Ultimately Surpass Humans Across the Board; In the Future, Only “Human-Made” Itself Will Have Value
BlockBeats reported that on September 24, former OpenAI researcher Will Depue published a long article stating that humanity will soon encounter machines that surpass humans in nearly all intellectual and physical capabilities, and arguing that most people have not yet truly accepted this trend.
Depue stated that human capabilities such as entrepreneurship and taste do not have a “special and safe” moat. Professions including investors, entrepreneurs, consultants, content creators, and musicians may undergo changes similar to those experienced by software engineers and mathematicians. He believes AI will ultimately reach, or even exceed, the limits of human capability in literature, poetry, music, and visual arts, among other fields.
Even if AI lacks human emotions and love, it may still surpass humans in making others “feel loved”; in the future, the only work able to resist automation may be crafts valued specifically because they are “created by humans.”
Depue emphasized that this is not pessimism. He believes humans can still preserve communities, art, and relationships among people and derive value from them, but that humanity should seriously confront a future in which machines surpass human capabilities: “Do not become attached to your abilities; they will soon disappear.”
As for when this future may arrive, he said it could take 5 years or 50 years, but humanity is approaching non-human intelligence capable of understanding and expressing the “human condition” in ways humans cannot understand.
