Frankly, not sure where to begin with this one. Some here have already pointed out how it can easily be trained to produce racist/biased data which is a big red flag to begin with. But am I the only one thinking about how this deep-learning, AI algorithm is going to render millions obsolete at the behest of capital? As has been the case with almost everything developed under capitalism , what a marvelous discovery that will in all likelihood be used for nothing but exploitation. And do I even have to mention how our leaders are geriatric and couldn’t regulate this shit to save their lives?

Unless this is somehow made open-source (and soon), we’re fucked.

    As a well-paid software engineer, I'm not the least bit worried. Not only does it actually kinda suck at programming, but more than that, writing actual code is a mere fraction of what I get paid to do. A huge portion of this job is figuring out (or even better, understanding without needing to investigate) what's wrong with the program when it gives bad output. Another huge portion is explaining what the software does, to an appropriate level of detail, to someone who does not understand it (and in many cases doesn't know how to program at all).
