AI capabilities can advance quickly, while society and the economy change at a different pace. This AI on Air clip is excerpted from a recent episode on the @davidsenra channel. The main speaker is Sam Altman @sama, co-founder and CEO of @OpenAI. ▷ Altman does not expect every business to become up for grabs. As AI improves, people may place more value on authentic, non-technological experiences and care more about sports, while many software businesses will face new competition. ▷ When GPT-4 arrived in 2023, he expected much more immediate disruption in software. Instead, the economy proved to have enormous inertia: people kept doing the same things, buying from the same companies, and wanting to use their tools in the same ways. ▷ That inertia will make the transition slower, but also smoother. It suggests that previous timelines were too ambitious; even if AI is one of the most incredible technologies humanity has invented, society and the economy will take longer to adapt.
