As the world marvels at the astonishing capabilities of OpenAI's GPT-4, I find myself contemplating the rapid acceleration of AI and machine learning, and the evolutionary impact it is having on our lives. Naturally, I turned to GPT-4 to assist me in these thoughts.
GPT-4's human-level performance on professional and academic benchmarks - such as the 88th percentile on the LSAT and the 89th on SAT Math - is a testament to the leaps we've made in artificial intelligence. Yet, these achievements also raise pressing questions about our future. Just as Homo Sapiens once outperformed and eventually displaced their Neanderthal cousins, could a new breed of humans - enhanced with GPT-X-like capabilities - arise to dominate those who remain unequipped with such powers?
What will it mean for our species, our societies, and our collective story when the lines between natural intelligence and intelligence assisted by AI/ML become ever more blurred?
As we ponder the remarkable rise of GPT-4 and the future of humanity, let us consider not only the implications of this technology but also our roles in shaping its trajectory. We are already over the cusp of this new chapter in the story of humankind, will we become merely a footnote in the annals of our own creation?
