New Delhi, April 16 (Ians) The future versions of ChatGPT have the potential to replace many tasks currently performed by humans, leading AI researcher and cognitive scientist Ben Goertzel has warned.

Known for co-developing Sophia the Robot, Goertzel believes the new large language models that power generative AI will transform the world, reports ZDNet.

“You don’t need to be incredibly creative and innovative or make big leaps to do most people’s jobs, as it turns out,” Goertzel was quoted as saying.

Automated AI tools could lead to industry reshuffling and reassigning job duties.

Drive-through fast-food workers, copy editors and designers are already impacted by AI.

“Tools like Grammarly decrease the need for human copy editors,” Goertzel said.

China-based marketing and public relations agency BlueFocus is replacing third-party copy writers, designers, and short-term contractors to fully embrace generative AI like ChatGPT.

Even robots are getting in on the Nft action that has taken the online art world by storm the past couple of months. Perhaps the best known humanoid robot on the planet, Sophia sold a self-portrait of herself as an Nft for $688,0000 during an online auction. The digital art in question saw Sophia making an interpretation of her own face. It was then turned around and auctioned off as a non-fungible token.

Perhaps you've heard the term Nft floating around on social media and have no idea what that is. It's a non-fungible token, which is basically an encrypted digital signature that allows for the buying and trading of digital art. The Nft is quickly changing the art market, and the way its presence online works.

Artist and partner at blockchain investment firm Eterna Capital, Andrea Bonaceto collaborated alongside Sophia the Robot to create the self-portrait. Bonaceto first created a brightly colored portrait of Sophia.

Hot Docs, one of the world’s leading documentary festivals, has unveiled its full lineup. The event, which runs online from April 29-May 9, will present 219 films from 66 countries across 12 programs, with 50% of the directors in the program being women.

The opening film will be “A.rtificial I.mmortality,” in which director Ann Shin poses the question: If you could live forever through AI, would you? Facing the reality of death as her father suffers from dementia in his old age, the filmmaker investigates the world of digital cloning through AI. After conversations on the process with leading experts in the field, she digitizes her memories and uploads them into a newly created avatar of herself, preserving her personality and identity in digital form forever. The film features commentary from Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom, director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University Hiroshi Ishiguro, artificial intelligence researcher Ben Goertzel, and mindfulness guru Deepak Chopra.
