Very interesting forward thinking here, @ericvancewalton:
"I think 100% human-created writing, art, etc. will develop into a niche market almost like hand-crafted physical items are today and will demand a premium."
When AI is combined with robotics, I can easily imagine we'll be adding a lot more of man's historic activities, once taken for granted, to this list. And, if we believe all of the current projections, e.g. Musk himself, that day will arrive much sooner than we think.
"You're right, there's much more thought being put into the development of Grok that other LLMs."
I do not believe there is any question about this. In the referenced interview, he even went so far as to characterize the "value system" being built into the Gemini and Genesis AI tools of Google. To say he was less than complimentary would be an understatement.
Leading to his quote on his view of the probability of this working out well.
It's going to be a wild world during this next decade. I think all of this technological/societal change will cause a massive shift in the economy sparking quite a long recession before the economy rebalances. I'm very optimistic for the time period after that. If we play our cards right (and luck is on our side) there's a good chance we'll be able achieve something close to Utopia—or at least better than the unbalanced world we live in now.
Yes, the perimeters built into most AI systems are highly biased towards the ideology of their creators. That creates some very dangerous scenarios as the AI evolves. Musk was smart enough to realize this, thankfully.
