The brain came first, and people thought to model a program based on a very simplistic view of how it works. Your brain is infinitely more complex than any llm, don't let it convince you that it is on your level. You are not an llm; DeepSeek is a pale imitation of you. You are a human. For better and worse.
Well my fears are pretty much based on what other people think/believe (mainly authoritative people), because they’ll be the ones to decide when to use these things to replace humans.
The widespread adoption by the public also doesn’t make me hopeful either. I can certainly envision a future where musk partners his neural link with OpenAI to create the most effective wage slave in history.
Look at tesla and spaceX. Consider how each of those domains' mechanical systems are incredibly simple compared to the complexity of the brain and emergent phenomena like consciousness.
Its implementation would be so riddled with unmaintainable and unportable shit that there's no way they'd reach this ideal, let alone graduate above medicalized torture into productive medicalized torture
I think, like a lot of current 'market disruptors' AI firms are generally running at a loss. I think a lot of them will go out of business within the next few years/ the next big economic downturn. It sucks right now, but things will get better on this front I think.
We're a long, long way away from anything like that. Those technologies are nacent and almost entirely marketing hype to inflate stonks prices.
At most, combining those two technologies would be useful for customer service type jobs (think AI-augmented customer appeasement scripts) but people require too much maintenance, which is expensive — capital would sooner get rid of them altogether.
