Now, I don't often usually urge people to share videos, but I would urge you to share some of the things going on in this video because it does actually allow you to keep yourself prepared for what is to come. And a lot of the things that I did find out while researching this video wasn't stuff that I did even think about that often before. So let's take a look at some of the things you need to watch out for in 2024. So one of the most important things that you need to watch out for is of course, the disinformation campaigns in the US 2024 election. Now this isn't just the US 2024 election, but you need to watch out for disinformation campaigns because this is going to be something where you really need to pay attention to what exactly you are seeing. You have to understand that AI generated images, not just of the president or political figures or members of the parliament or whichever political party are going to be circling around doing things that I can't imagine. There are also other images which could definitely affect the way that this process is done. So there was actually an AI generated image of the Pentagon blowing up. This image that you can currently see on screen now was in fact AI generated. I know it doesn't look it, but you might be thinking, okay, this is just an awful image. What does this even matter? Because I'm not going to believe that this is AI. You have to understand those of you who are watching this channel, you're more considered the tech savvy demographic because you're paying attention to the AI trends. So you're more likely to know exactly what's going on. A lot of people don't actually pay attention to AI trends. They don't know what's going on in terms of AI generated stuff. Stuff only when it reaches mainstream news. So if an image like this, which was generated in a couple of seconds on like mid journey or something, it was literally able to drop the stock market, the US stock market, by a couple of points. Now this was earlier this year and you can imagine what kinds of other things are going to be happening on later on in 2024 in terms of the kinds of images that we are going to be seeing now. The problem is it's not that we can't tell that certain images are AI generated. So the problem is from the fact that by the time you realize it is AI generated, the damage might already be done. So this is a problem with this image. Okay, by the time this image had circulated, the person who wanted to perhaps short the stock market and exercise whatever position, whatever put option it was to make money from the stock market going down, they probably already executed that position. And then of course, by the time the news gets out, the damage is already done. And you have to understand the 2024 election is coming up and it is going to be a real, real power struggle for both sides to sort of decipher and figure out exactly what is AI generated and what isn't AI generated because media is one of the largest things that people can use to influence you in terms of your vote and what you think. So this is something that even if you are tech savvy, you do need to double check what you see. In addition, the problem is, is that AI lowers the bar for disinformation. So right now there's going to be tons and tons of stuff and even someone who considers them to be pretty tech savvy and someone who can see exactly what a fake post is. There have been a lot of times with AI generated stuff that even myself has been fooled. So you have to really pay attention to that political data because even though, even if you don't watch politics, a lot of the stuff can influence you in terms of the choices that you might make depending on what you do see about social media. And I'm going to get into some crazy statistics later on in the video that you honestly just won't believe. So essentially what it says here, the potential of harms on AI on elections can read like greatest hits of concerns from, from the past decades of election interference. Social media bots that pretend to be roboters, manipulated videos or images, and even deceptive robocalls are easy to produce and harder detects with the help of AI tools. And this is crazy guys, because I want to show you guys something after looking at a lot of research and you have to understand as well, is that other countries might want to mess with your elections. I'm not someone who's too into politics, but I know that sometimes countries do mess with other countries politics and their elections and depending on what their motives are, this could have adverse effects. Which means it's important for you to stay guarded and to be like, okay, if I do see something, if there is a certain claim running around on social media, I will make sure that I do do a check to see if it is AI generated before just running off or making a rash decision based on that. So this is one thing that I didn't even know, but when I was researching this video I found it to be absolutely pretty shocking. So it says AI technology may also intensify voter suppression campaigns to. To target marginalized communities. And this is the point here, okay? It says two far right activists admitted last year to making more than 67,000 robocalls targeting black voters in the Midwest with election misinformation. Okay. And experts warn, as Winters note, that AI could hypothetically be used to replicate such a campaign on a greater scale with more personalized information. And this is really, really insane because what you have to think about here is that this is just two people, two people in a room somewhere that wanted to, you know, just spam a bunch of calls to get them misinformed about the upcoming election. That is absolutely incredible because it's only two people that were able to do it. So what do you think happens if a country dedicates a small section of their military or a small section of their, you know, resources to doing this to another country? Like, this is where you have to really realize that what you see online might not be real. Like, everything that you see online now is not always to be taken at face value. Because the problem is that how we use social media is that we'll scroll down on Twitter, we'll see something and scroll past it, and then, you know, like a week later or two weeks later, we'll figure out that, oh, that was actually fake. So always make sure that you do, like, if there's an important piece of information or even if you receive a calls nowadays, you always have to double check that that is going to be real. And later on, we're going to talk about some interesting stuff with calls and how you can actually protect yourself with that. So it also says here that during the 2016 and 2020 election, Trump's campaign leaned heavily on memes and videos made by his supporters, including deceptively edited videos that made it seem like Biden was slurring his words or saying that he shouldn't be president. The IA version of that strategy is creeping in, election observers warn, with Trump sharing a deepfake video of the host telling his viewers that his just was Trump ripping us a new redacted on CNN's live presidential town hall. So the point here is that, you know, even with AI voices, and it's pretty insane now, if you haven't heard how good AI voices are in this video, I will include a small segment to show you what literally I was able to do with 11 labs in just like, literally 10 seconds of Joe Biden speaking and Donald Trump speaking. So make sure you watch that and after hearing that, you can likely see exactly why it is so easy to get disinformation. I mean, if that's what I can do.
Hello there, this is Donald Trump giving an exclusive interview on the AI Grid YouTube channel. Hello there, this is Joe Biden giving an exclusive interview on the AI Grid YouTube channel. This voice is of course AI generated. So be careful out there.
I mean, if that's what I can do with 11 labs and five minutes of free time, can you imagine what people who have serious resources dedicated to doing this in the entire election are going to be able to do now? Of course you can see right here that generating these images are way too easy. This is the French president, this is of course Donald Trump, and this is Joe Biden, the US President. So of course initially you're going to be like, okay, these images are AI generated. But a lot of the times the problem is, like I said before, how people use social media is they use it at face value. Which means that a lot of the times if people see stuff like this, they're not going to double check and be like, is that real? They might be like, I don't know if that's real because of course some people do know about AI generated images. But sometimes when stuff does look real, people just think, wow. And just keep scrolling on. Because in this TikTok era, it's in this social media moves quickly era, a lot of people aren't double checking and fact checking everything, not going to the comments. And you have to understand that with that you need to be someone that looks at the information and critically analyzes, okay, what am I looking at here? Where is this source coming from? Where is this image pasted? Is this relevant? And do I need to be much more skeptical? And this is why I say you do need to fact check everything because this does have 6.8 million views and you can imagine the kind of damage that this does to, to either party. Now, it doesn't really matter where you stand. You have to understand that the false information being sent to you isn't good no matter which side you are on. In addition, there was also a deep fake video of Zelensky telling Ukrainians to lay down their arms and this had to get debunked. So with AI generated videos coming out and deep fakes and stuff like that, it's really, really important to make sure that whatever it is you are looking at, like I said before, stay critical in your analysis. Because I do really think that unfortunately this is actually something that is just the Beginning then of course we have one of the most important things. And I'm pret sure that if you're watching this, this is probably the part where you're going to be paying most attention. And this is of course job displacement. So this research is quite shocking, like much more shocking than I did think. And it does say that 53% of companies use AI and 24% plan to start in 2024. 37% of companies using AI say the technology replaced workers this year. 44% of companies say AI will lead to layoffs in 2024. And don't worry, this isn't just a video that's fear mongering about everything. And with each point I make, I'm going to tell you how you can actually solve the issue. So it's not just a video that doesn't help the situation at all. So 96% of companies hiring in 2024 say candidates will benefit from having AI skills, and 83% say AI skills will help current employees retain their jobs. In addition, this is definitely one of the best articles I have seen. It says 4 in 10 companies say AI is likely to replace employees in 2024. Now of course it does depend on what sector you're in. And in a moment I'm going to get into which sectors are going to be the most affected and which ones are likely to be the least affected. So it says of companies currently using AI, 37% say workers were laid off in 2023 because they were no longer needed due to the company's use of AI. And in 2024, 44% of companies who use AI plan to buy next year say employees will definitely or probably be laid off due to the use of AI. And this person says, I'm not surprised by these results and I hope this article is a wake up call for anyone rejecting AI in their industry or function. I would advise employees to consider all of their position and what they could possibly be taken over by AI. Figure out what part of your position can't be taken over by AI or where AI might need some human intervention and become the go to person for these tasks. Employees need to find ways to grow their skills and stay relevant in their field if they don't want their job to give to an AI. And that is of course very, very true. Even though AI systems are very good, you have to understand that the only thing that AI systems really do is that they really do the mainly automated and repetitive autonomous tasks. So this excerpt from Google says that AI has already shown its capabilities in handling data analysis and basic financial tasks, but more strategic and complex roles are less likely to be fully automated. AI's capabilities in data analysis and basic financial tasks could lead to job losses in roles that involve repetitive and routine tasks. So essentially all they're saying here is that if a task in your workplace is extremely routine and, and is data driven and is quite strategic, those ones are more likely to be automated. But of course the strategic ones and the more complex ones are less likely to be automated because they do need some human oversight. It's mainly about tasks that are repetitive and routine. So now let's take a look at the 12 jobs that AI will replace and I'll leave a link to the article in the description. This is of course something you do need to pay attention to. So here you can see, number one is customer service executives. You can see that it essentially gives it a risk level rating. The risk level rating it gives is 87%. And it basically says that customer service roles that do not require high levels of social or emotional intelligence to perform their role efficiently. Almost all businesses will now use AI to respond to customer service questions and queries using chatbots and with automated responses to frequently asked questions such as where is my order? This is something that already was on the way out because of simple flowchart diagrams that people could use to figure out exactly what they were needing from the company. With literally automated phone lines where they literally say, press one if you want to talk to this person, press one. Yada yada yada. I am not surprised that this is something that is of course going to be going down. So if you do work in this industry, it is definitely something that is at quite a decent amount of risk in terms of AI taking that position. Then of course we have bookkeepers and accountants and it says it's not uncommon for companies to use software for the bookkeeping practices. And the softwares do come at a cost, but it's much less costly to paying an employee's salary to do the same job. And this is something that I've noticed myself because bookkeeping and accountancy is definitely something that is pretty hard to do because. But at the same time, I've seen that AI can actually effectively calculate your taxes. This was actually one of the things that they demoed in the GPT4 demo live stream and they showed us that GPT4 was very effective with vision at calculating exactly the taxes that you need to pay. And of recent tests that I've done in some private areas, I've seen that Its accuracy was absolutely outstanding. So I do think that this is definitely going to be a sector that is of course effective. In addition, receptionist information and in addition receptionist and information clerks. You can see that the risk level here is 85%. You've already may notice that when you call to book a venue, you're often welcome with an automated voice message. And this is something that is probably normal proofreaders and copy markers, manufacturing and pharmaceutical work. Of course there's millions of jobs with machinery and I'm going to show you some crazy examples in a moment that you didn't know about so that you can understand and plan your future correctly. Of course, we do have retail services, so there's always new automated services for self checkout. We really didn't think that we were going to get automated services in stores, but in so many stores now, you, you walk in, you literally just grab your items and you check out with a self automated. Also courier services. We are seeing the rise of AI courier services in many other countries. We're seeing AI robots delivering food, we're seeing them deliver stuff. So it wouldn't be a surprise if in the future this is definitely something that we see get mainly eradicated by AI. I mean, a lot of the industries probably won't go away completely, but they definitely will be affected to some degree. Now this article does talk about how doticles and surgical assistants are at the one of the lowest risk levels. Even though these robots are pretty good. I'm pretty sure that this is quite true because human dexterity is definitely something that is pretty hard to crack. I've looked into robotics a decent amount and that is something that they are quite struggling with. Progress is definitely decent, but it is one of the hardest things to do. In addition, I do think that soldiers and military is going to be affected by AI. And the head of the UK military stated that autonomous robots could soon form a quarter of the British army by 2030. It says taxi and bus drivers. I do have to slightly disagree with this one because I do think that if there's any AI system that does cause any harm in any kind of crash, the amount of liability that's going to be on that company, they're probably going to go bankrupt. And this is only unless there is some major breakthrough in terms of these driverless systems. So what you're seeing on screen right now, you're seeing a robot from the company Sanctuary AI. They make humanoid robots and you can see that the dexterity from them is actually pretty good in terms of how they're actually able to grab items and pick and pack. Of course, you could argue that a human would able to do this in literally seconds and just, you know, pick and pack the items which within seconds and not have this slow moving, because this is equivalent to someone that's pretty old, we could argue. But you have to understand that whilst this is true, and whilst for now these robots are no better than humans at all, we have to understand that in the future they eventually will be. Companies are spending billions and billions of dollars developing these robots, which means maybe not today, maybe not even five years from now, but definitely 20 years from now. We're going to see these robots doing these tasks that are repetitive and boring with much faster robots and with much f accuracy. So I wouldn't be surprised within maybe, like I said, the next 10 to 20 years. You definitely want to plan your future for what you're doing if these robots don't take a significant portion of the workforce. Now, for those of you who think that that isn't true, I want to point you out with a prime example. So if you don't know, Amazon has warehouses, okay? Warehouses where they pack their stuff. And I can't imagine that during times like this, especially during times like the holidays, it gets any easier on them. Now, a while ago, I was doing some research on Amazon's warehouse conditions, and what I stumbled upon was absolutely incredible. Amazon has one of the worst warehouses warehouse working conditions ever. And there's been numerous reports on how badly Amazon pushes its workers in terms of making them work overtime and just putting them through inhumane conditions. And I've seen numerous and numerous complaints. However, this relates to AI because Amazon recently started testing humanoid warehouse robots that would eventually only cost $3 per hour to operate, and that won't calm workers fear of being replaced. I do think that in the future, like I said, the, the main problem with robotics now is that these are slow and expensive, okay? Once these get cheap and inexpensive, that's when we see mass job layoffs start to happen. So right now, the humanoid robots that Amazon is testing, there's videos of them testing these robots, and I'm about to show you that. But Amazon already does have tons and tons of autonomous robots in its factory. Amazon literally has around 4 to 5, maybe even 10 different autonomous robots that operate within their factories. Now, humans do work with these robots, but what's going to happen when a large majority of Amazon's workforce is going to be able to be paid $3 an hour? All you need to do is charge it up and you can literally have it working 24 hours and it's not going to be complaining about needing to take any time off. It's not going to be needing to complain about in terms of any kind of lawsuits that it might be filing. It's just going to do the work repetitively, autonomously, and it's going to do the task with as much accuracy as it can. So now I'm going to show you how other companies are actually starting to use this. At this facility outside of Atlanta, where GXO manages warehouse operations for the global womenswear brand Spanx, they are using Digit, a human centric robot, on logistics tasks.
My name is Gary Greaves, general manager here at the GXO Spanx facility. It's a true omnichannel distribution center. So we handle returns, we handle inbound, outbound operations, e commerce, wholesale fulfillment, as well as B2B. It's basically taking the heaviest workload out of the process. Right. So we're leveraging robotics to drive efficiency and having them do the things that are most taxing to associates. Right. And most task oriented. So leveraging robotics to drive efficiency.
Digit is very cool and it's a great experience for our associates. So it's reducing repetitive tasks. It's able to take away the heavy lifting for our associates as they work side by side. It has been, what we're going to see is companies working with these robots because a lot of the times they do still need human supervision. But like I said right now, remember, this is just the first iteration of these robots. It was only recently that we're starting to see companies like Tesla pile in the billions of dollars needed to make this stuff a reality. Now I do think that this will take longer to develop than initial AI based computer systems. But like I said, this is definitely going to be something that we do see a rise of in the future. Because whoever does solve the issue in terms of making a robot that is, I guess you could say, the most widely available robot that these companies can use and deploy. There's definitely a huge financial incentive for whatever company that is going to be. Now remember, Tesla's working on it, we've got figure working on it, we've got agility working on it, we've got tons and tons of different companies. And that only means that with the way how the capitalist society works, that eventually this is going to get solved. And when it does get solved, there's definitely going to be mass job layoffs because these companies aren't going to be hiring people that are more expensive and less efficient than a robot that can literally work 24 hours a day. So yeah, this is another excerpt from the article. It says Amazon has been building up its robot fleet for years. It had 45,000 robots across across 20 fulfillment centers back in 2017, Insider previously reported. And now it says it has 750,000 robots working collaboratively with our employees. In June 2021, the company introduced a fleet of four robots named after characters from Sesame street and the Muppet, Bert, Ernie, Scooter and Kermit. And a year later, Amazon introduced Proteus, a fully autonomous warehouse robot which it said would operate alongside human employees, unlike its regular robots that only operate in a caged area away from human workers. And in November 2022, Amazon introduced Sparrow, a robot picking arm with suction cup hand that's meant for handling individual items in the warehouse inventory. So the reason that this is interesting is because this is the first time that Amazon's testing humanoid robots. Definitely in the future, warehouse workers is going to be something that is impacted now, something that you also need to do as well in order to protect yourself not only from job loss is of course you need to protect yourself from fraud. This is because every single level of fraud that you can think of is going to be increasing. The problem with AI technology is that it lowers the barrier to entry in terms of information and thus so fraud. Now essentially what we do have here is Fraud GPT and as many of you do know, there might be med GPT for medical stuff. Just likewise there is Fraud GPT for fraudsters and there are many other AI systems that are available on the dark web that people can buy and use in order to accelerate their AI scams. So you can see right here it says that Fraud GPT is a product sold on the dark app, web and telegram that works similarly to ChatGPT but creates content to facilitate cyber attacks. Members of the threat research team at Netenrich first identified and saw it advertised in July 2023. A major selling point was that Fraud GPT doesn't have the built in controls and limitations that provide prevent ChatGPT from doing or answering inappropriate requests. And another point that I wanted to show you that even if people don't use floor GPT to generate scam emails and stuff like that, you can still achieve the same with ChatGPT. You can see that in this article they do talk about how they were literally able to get ChatGPT to write a email that was for like a business account manager's name requesting funds immediately and you have to understand that the problem with this is that if you've ever, ever seen a scam email, you'll know that 90% of the time. The main issue with these scams emails that we do see in our inboxes is that they're written so poorly that you can easily tell what's wrong with the email. Many times what gives it away is the lack of spelling, the lack of coherence, just something that we just know isn't right. But the problem is, is if you can use a system like ChatGPT to write this and to scale it, whether it be fraud, GPT, worm GPT, I mean, you're going to have a serious, serious problem, which means you're going to to upgrade those AI systems that sort of filter out which emails are scams and which aren't. And how's it going to do that if those emails are going to be AI generated? In addition, the article goes on to state that it can create super realistic phishing text. And if you don't know what phishing text is, phishing text, which you should watch out for, is essentially a text that pretends to be from your bank, or an email that pretends to be from your bank, or a secure website that you need, and it phishes you for your sensitive data. So what it might be, you might see an email that appears to be from your bank and they might ask for your bank details to just sort of verify stuff. But then when you verify stuff, you're not really verifying it, you're actually giving them the information. So that is something that you do need to look at. So if you ever receive an email, if you ever receive a random call, if you ever receive a text message, make sure that on that link, before you even click that link that you knew, you know, you look at it, you double check that the link is secure. You also double check that the link is actually the official website, because if you don't, you are going to be in a situation where, when you do give away that information to these attackers. Now, something that I would advise you all to do, and that is to get a code work. So essentially the reason you need a code word is because what they're doing now is they are cloning people's voices. Now, luckily for me, for some reason I've tried to clone my voice many times and it honestly just doesn't work. The accent just, I don't know what the problem is. I think the intonations and just the way I speak is just so inconsistent that the AI model can't do it, but it does do it well for other people. So what you need to do is you need to get a code word. Now you might be thinking, why do I need a code word? What does that even mean? Think about it like this, okay? Let's say, for example, you have a brother, okay? And your brother calls you and he says, please transfer me two grand. I'm stuck in this place and I need it right now. You might go ahead and you might transfer him the two grand. The problem is it wasn't actually your brother. It was a scammer in a basement somewhere using his voice to scam you out of that money. And instead of sending it to him, you send it to your brother's quote, unquote new account, which was in fact the scammer. The way how you deal with this is you have a code word. So of course, you know, you call up your family members and you say, look, our code word is going to be book. It's going to be 28 tree. It's going to be whatever it is, whatever random, you know, thing you think about, you need a code word. Because if you ask your family member for something and they don't ask for that code word, then essentially you need to make sure that you hang up the call straight away. And I would argue that if someone does call you from a number that you don't know if don't say anything. Because the problem is, is that if they call you and then you start talking, they can use those few seconds of you saying hello to convert that into whatever software that they're using and then clone your voice and then call other people with your speech inflections and with your actual accent. So make sure that you do have a code word. I do have a code word. So that anytime, if anyone calls me, I know that instantly if it's going to be a scam call or not. And I would say it's always better to be safe than sorry. Because trust me when I say it's always, ah, that would never happen to me until it does. So the article says here that this person noted that the voice clone calls from scammers are typically shorter than this example and may try to cut off a potential conversation by saying something like, I can't talk right now. As they relay the request for money, account access or other sensitive information. Remember, the goal of the scammer is to get you into a fight or flight to create urgency in your mind that your loved one is in some sort of trouble. The Best way to deal with these situations is to hang up immediately and called your loved one to verify if it's them or not. Of course, this is always a thing to do, but sometimes your loved one might not answer their phone. So always just have a code word and that's a way that that can actually help you. Now, there's actually something interesting that I did find, and I think this is on two sides of the spectrum, because what AI can actually do, and I'm going to talk about the negative first, before I do talk about the positive, is that AI can actually cause social isolation. So essentially you have to understand that right now, AI has been rolled out in many different forms. ChatGPT isn't just one of the popular ways to use and interact with the chatbot. There are many different chat GBT wrappers that people do use and interact with the chatbot. You have my AI on Snapchat. You have character AI ways that interact with the chatbot. And I've seen tons and tons of videos on TikTok about people talking about how much they enjoy talking to these chatbots and how they spent hours and hours on end talking to these fictional characters online. So essentially the problem here is that what we could have is a situation where it isolates people even further. Think about it like this. If you are someone who's just a normal person and then maybe you have a falling out with your friends and then you start talking to an AI and then you realize the AI understands you more, you have better conversations with it, it doesn't get mad at you. It literally listens to all of your stuff. It remembers every piece of conversation. People slowly but surely over time are going to become more and more socially isolated. It's the same thing that happened when social media was introduced. It didn't really connect people. It kind of ruined the in person relationships that we did have. So it says here. A study found that Americans are experiencing a friendship downturn with fewer social connections and less close relationships. This is especially true for younger people. According to the Surgeons General report, Americans between 15 to 24 spend significantly less time with friends in the last two decades, from 2.5 hours a day to only 40 minutes. This affects social interaction and the impacts of algorithms on our relationship and decision making. So you have to understand that this is something that I would say just be aware of it to the point where you don't spend all your time talking to an AI. Understand that for some people this is definitely a help. And in those cases, I do think that it is Completely. Okay, But I'm talking about our healthy relationship in AI. The cases where I'm talking about where it is okay to use AI if you are socially isolated is in examples where a person is just extremely lonely and they don't have absolutely anyone to talk to. I think in that aspect, AI actually does more good than bad. But at the same time, for those of you who might not be realizing it, you might realize over time that you might be spending more time talking to an AI than you do talking to real people. And talking to real people and having real relationships is definitely something that actually can improve your health quite a lot. So this is why I say this is definitely something to watch out for. Because the problem is, is that these AI systems are only going to get more better. They're only going to get more personalized. And it was even earlier today that PI announced all of their voice features. So not only do you no longer have to chat to a chatbot, you can literally speak to it like it's a phone call. And it's definitely going to help you out a lot. At the same time, sometimes you need to just have this call with your friends and make sure you're having those social connections. So one of the quotes that was actually really good, it says that there aren't enough therapists, counselors and care providers in the United States to support every lonely person. While AI based services can be scaled too poorly served regions and be offered 24,7. So it's actually a pretty good thing on one side. But you have to remember all the time when there is a good outcome, oftentimes there are caveats to that outcome. Then what we have here is advances in autonomous drone technology. And this is not something that I am actually a fan of because I do think the applications overall are going to be applied to more concerning matters than matters like this. So what you're seeing is essentially just a drone show, which essentially just means that, you know those drones, those little drones that people use sometimes to record stuff, you can actually have those drones to actually have drone shows before. And if you haven't seen a drone show before, I urge you to, because they're actually really, really cool. But that's not the kind of application that I am talking about. The problem is is that advances in AI are happening across the board, which means that this is going to get better, that the military applications are going to get better. So I saw this Deep Dive article and it basically says that states should plan to employ drone swarms after careful consideration of their risks. And implications. Some literature acknowledges the conceptual application of drone swarms in certain strategic military contexts. For example, one strategy expert theorizes that armed fully autonomous drone swarms, a subset of drone swarms, could be considered a weapon of mass destruction and a US army war game. Applied methodology to demonstrate how drone swarm weapons might provide operational advantages in parallel attack. So essentially you have to understand here that this is something that is pretty dangerous. I mean, we could be seeing the next evolution of warfare. We did talk about recently in the other video where they've recently developed some crazy AI interceptor drone, which is fast, it's autonomous, you can just deploy a swarm of them. And the thing is, like I said before, the problem is with this kind of stuff is that we're not always in the loop with this stuff. If the government is developing some key insane drone swarm, they're not going to be telling us about that because it doesn't make sense to you. Number one, they don't want their competitors to figure it out. And number two, they're not going to try and scare the public at all because they know they'll be in the streets rioting. So the problem is as well is that it's not even, you know, for example, the US government's fault or the UK or whatever country you're in for. The problem is, is that someone else might do it, then you have to do it because if you don't do it then you're going to be at a disadvantage. So it's a lose, lose game for everyone. But this is definitely something that I'm sure they are developing somewhere. So I wouldn't be surprised if autonomous drones are going to be even worse. We did know that in the Ukraine war that, you know, I'm sure that there were videos being used and we can see that this is literally only going to get better. Now there was also a clip from Elon Musk where he actually does talk about this could make a swarm of.
Assassin drones for very little money by just taking the, the face ID chip that's used in cell phones and having a small explosive charge and a standard drone and have them just do a grid sweep of the building until they find the person they're looking for, ram into them and explode. You do that right now, no extra, no new technology is needed right now. Probably a bigger risk than being hunted down by a drone is that AI would be used to make incredibly effective propaganda that would not seem like propaganda. So these are deep fakes? Yeah, influence the direction of society, influence election.
So yeah, this is Definitely something that is a problem. I did actually struggle to find the original clip, but essentially what he's saying is that this technology, you know, you can literally make a drone swarm with basic technology. And the problem is, is that everyone can go on Amazon, they can buy a drone, it's legal. And of course, with the technology, there's a lot of open source stuff now. And with that, which is good because of course it means that everyone can use it, a few bad actors could ruin that for the rest of us. Now, this is going to be the part of the video that I want you guys to pay attention to most because I do believe that this is something that will affect us in next year, if not probably tomorrow, I mean, any day. And I really hope that this doesn't affect anyone. But I know that right now you need to be very careful with what you post online. The problem is that these AI systems that we're developing are really, really smart. And because they're really, really smart, because they're trained on a lot of data, the problem is that when they do CCP of data, they're going to be really good at identifying that piece of data. So, for example, and this is just the beginning, AI can guess where Reddit users live and how much they earn. So it says here that large language models like GPT4 can identify a person's age, location, gender and income with up to 85% accuracy simply by analyzing their posts on social media. This means that we need to be very, very careful about what we post online. Because I can guarantee you out there, someone's probably developing a system where they can literally put in a username and it uses AI to scan images, probably scan their Reddit post and then sort of quantify who they are, give you like a pie chart on what they post, about their kind of mood, the kind of emotions, and then how best to trigger that. I wouldn't be surprised if there is someone developing that right now, because if they were able to get this up to 85 accuracy, imagine where we're going to be in a year or a model that's specific just for that. So that is something that we really, really need to be very careful about. Because with AI systems that are really good, someone could literally take your vase, they could literally take your voice, they could literally figure out who you are. And that's all with the help of these AI systems. So really, really make sure that you are very careful about what you post online, very careful about what you post with your loved ones. Ideally, if you are Someone that is concerned about this, definitely just make sure that your account is private and that you only share stuff like that with like maybe your family and maybe that people that you actually know definitely go through your followers and go and see who's really looking at your stuff. Because a lot of the times we do have situations where there are really, really, really strange people that are looking at your stuff online. And this is a video here that goes into this. And I think you all should watch this video because it's absolutely crazy. And the thing is, I can't play clips from that video because it's a little bit disturbing, but it's definitely one of the videos of the year that you should watch regarding AI stuff, because this is probably the one that's going to affect most common people most, even if they don't realize it. Then of course we have something that's pretty interesting and this is decreased autonomy. So this is something that has actually happened to me, not a lot, but just enough to the pack that I've noticed it. And essentially this means that AI is good, but don't be overly reliant on it. And what this means is that a lot of times since there's technology that we think, oh my God, this is so amazing, it's so much better than me, we immediately rely on it and then we essentially lose our base skill in terms of critical thinking. So, for example, you might be thinking, okay, I've got a new marketing campaign to come up with what I'm going to do. Oh, I'm going to use ChatGPT to generate these ideas. And if Chat GPT doesn't generate these ideas, then I guess I'm out of luck. But the problem with that is that you lose your critical thinking skills and you lose that brain power if you aren't constantly figuring out ways to make yourself smarter, constantly testing your brain mental exercises, you're going to lose that, guys. And of course it's great to combine that with AI, but you have to understand really, really not to just be like a really lazy person in terms of using an AI system. Because although AI systems are good, they are even better with a person that can think critically to prompt them. And essentially what this clip is of, this is of someone who is essentially using an API with Whisper. And essentially what they're doing is, is getting, you know, real time responses from this interview so that they could potentially do it. Now, of course this is from a video, but essentially it was a demonstration of what the software is capable of and I'm sure that people out there are probably wanting to use this. Maybe some people have. I'm pretty sure that they're not going to disclose it. Problem is is that if you're too reliant on AI, I can promise you your quality is definitely going to slip. Because I did see this happen to myself quite a decent amount. And for me now in terms of working, I would always say the AI is something that I use last because a lot of the times, although AI is good in certain categories, in other categories it's just not as good. And when the AI does generate some stuff, it's always cookie cutter and very, very basic. So unless you're using a extreme fine tuned model like medgpt or something like that, I would say that AI is good. But always combine it with your own human judgment to make sure. Because a lot of the times I've seen so many times where people just use chat GPT based responses and this is a real problem for you moving into the future. If you are trying to move into the future, trying to increase your career, trying to increase your earnings, yes, use an AI, but don't become so reliant on it that it is your one skill. And then in the future maybe the AI goes down, maybe the API goes down for a week like OpenAI nearly imploded the other week. What would have happened to you if you were completely dependent on that? We know that other models, although they're catching up, they're not nearly as good. And even Google's Gemini, which is just as good, isn't out yet. You don't want to be left out in the dark. You have to remember that your brain is one of the biggest assets you do have and you want to make sure that you keep that in tip top shape and you're going to be even better than people who just use AI to do everything. So I would say decreased autonomy is one of the biggest problems that will be there. There is a lot of critical. There is definitely going to be a lack of critical thinking and if you can maintain that, you're definitely going to become someone who's valuable and useful in the future.
