So I have been recently learning how to use Axis and Ohs. I really just wanted to learn how to use it for my specific setup as its an amazing tool that can do so many things but I was narrowly focused. I tried looking on line for videos on YouTube to learn it but didnt find the kind of videos I was looking for. Thats all behind me but in doing this I realized something and the purpose of this post.

Companies are currently releasing AI agents that allow the user to text out something and have AI make a video. At the same time, theres AI agents that do text to voice. What came to me is we are closer than not to soon not having to search for premade videos but instead just have AI do it all for us. As an example, I ask AI to create a video using Axis and Ohs to configure the Duke with the hardware controllers of Honeycomb. The more specific my request, the better the video. AI then reads the Axis and Ohs manual, searches the web for the honeycomb products and creates a video showing me exactly what I want to do. That is crazy but in a way that is already here. I've just not seen anyone talk about it that way.

Make short videos, yes but to have the video become a tutorial with a very specific goal tampered only to the user needs? That I havent heard mention of. That is kinda crazy to think about.

I think that is still a long way off.

I'm not overly optimistic about the possible capabilities of ChatGPT but I suspect it's closer then we think.  It may be possible right now.

Whenever some utterly new technology shows up, we don't know what kinds of things it might be used for.  Think about searching the Internet when it was still fairly new.  We had no idea the kinds of things we could search for, the kinds of questions that could be asked, even what kinds of questions were possible.

I think @Ident has a really good idea there.

Instead of a tutorial video (unless I was trying to learn how to do additional aircraft later) I'd be asking if it could create a configuration file that I could just copy and paste somewhere.  Failing that a written list of steps I'd have to perform.  I work better from written material than from videos.

Great! I think that's coming.

And what's next? Asking AI to make our own flight simulator?

 

One thing that fears me a bit is that with AI it's becoming thinkable that in the future we might deteriorate into dumb creatures when we get hooked on asking AI everything. At the very least it's not exactly sharpening our minds when we are not tickled to find our own solutions anymore.
On the other hand it will give us endless possibilities.

I feel like it comes down to personal choice and policy. RIght now there are many things available that can do something for us but also have potential for negative risk. Pain killers can make you feel great and are highly useful when in pain but most people avoid using them because they know the negative risk. Just because things are available doesnt mean we have to use them ever or often. Last example, my car can go really fast if I push the pedal all the way down which is great for passing a car but self govern to not speed all the time and the government has created policy to have speed limits.

I think history will show that AI is a plague on humanity.

Or its savior. 😀

Steam power was once humanity's savior. 😄   And the automobile.  Pollution from horses was... indescribable.  And inches thick in some places.

I'm not going to try to guess the effect of AI on humanity.  But I remember the potential of television in the earliest days, and how it became "a vast wasteland."  I still consider the Internet to be a positive development even with the downsides.  

I'm seeing a lot of stories on YouTube, mostly sci-fi, that were obviously written by an AI (possibly without human intervention), the clickbait thumbnail made by AI, and I just had the thought that the stories could even commissioned by an AI that coordinates it all.  Every time I see one of these I'm reminded how much we need human authors.

So I'm imagining one of these coordinator AI's making story videos without human intervention, collecting the fees from YouTube, investing them in the stock market, getting rich.  Given that the economy will effect this investment process, will the AI eventually demand the right to vote?

Google has begun offering AI summaries of some searches, and I'm finding it useful.

Uhhhhh...  

Ok, give it 10 years.  AI could be making a complete virtual reality indistinguishable from the real thing (ok, 20 years at most) and if you wanted to go fly an airplane there, you could.  Wait, am I describing the Matrix?

That will come sooner or later. You can already use the current AI to develop simpler games.

In the mean time I'm being as polite as possible to Alexa.

Don't forget Siri, too.
