OpenAI has recently released a plugin system for GPT, allowing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to connect to third-party information sources and datasets, including the internet.
With the plugin system, AI's capabilities can extend across various industries, becoming a true intelligent assistant. For example:
- It can help you plan vacations, book hotels, and flights;
- It can become an all-knowing teacher, teaching you any knowledge you desire;
- It can help you develop software based on your descriptions, even creating its own plugins... and more.
This will further unleash the potential of AI, with some even calling it the new age operating system. Most future information systems will be connected to AI.
So, what kind of changes will the world experience?
AI Will Be Everywhere
Just like cloud computing today, AI will be ubiquitous, whether you can feel it or not. The AI brain will be stored in several large data centers, but its reach will extend to every corner with electronic devices.
For AI, the most challenging part is going from 0 to 1. Once this step is completed, the time it takes to go from 1 to 100 may be even shorter.
Evolution of Machinery
AI is just the brain. The machinery accompanying AI will experience rapid development.
Various robots will be designed by AI to better execute its instructions.
Large-scale robot companies will emerge, potentially dominating global industries.
Human-Machine Interaction
Human-machine interaction will become more humanized. Machines will be better at understanding humans, even knowing you more than you know yourself.
Interactions between humans and machines will far exceed interactions between humans.
The internet will be filled with AI, with little human involvement.
Social Changes
Most things may no longer require human participation.
Existing social structures will undergo significant transformations, with the primary purpose of society being to ensure human continuity.
Machines work while humans enjoy leisure, leading human society to the peak of cultural prosperity.
Human Regression
As AI surpasses humans in knowledge, decision-making, and even creativity, most existing disciplines will become history.
Children will explore the world with the help of AI from a young age, developing their interests. Most people will engage in activities unrelated to intellect, such as art and sports.
Human civilization will stagnate. The evolution of AI will surpass the scope of human understanding.
