Neil Chilson on what he calls the intellect of things, the near future where you ask your dishwasher how it works instead of reading a manual: "I've called it the intellect of things. The Internet of Things was a buzzword a long time ago. The intellect of things is the idea that my dishwasher, I won't have to read a manual to figure out how it works. I'll just ask the dishwasher, and it'll have a small large language model in it that can explain how it works in a way I can engage with." "I don't think the most exciting roles that AI will serve are the drop-in, replace-a-human kind. It's about expanding a set of capabilities, either because you made it so much cheaper to diffuse knowledge that we can put knowledge in places we never had it before, or we have such premium expertise that we can solve really hard problems where it didn't matter what human you put there, it was very hard for a human to solve." "We've seen some of that in mathematics recently, and I think that's happening in coding as well. So I'm much more excited about the places where we get to do new things with AI, rather than places where we swap an AI in for a human." @neil_chilson @abundanceinst
