As far as I understand, technology publishers and content creators in our country didn’t like artificial intelligence very much. I was surprised to see some of them venting their anger on Twitter at GPT-4, which was recently introduced by OpenAI. I tried to understand why these people, whose tech coverage I have followed for years, approached a technology that marks the beginning of a new era and could significantly change everyone’s life in this way. Consequently, this article emerged, discussing the impact not only on publishers but on all of us.

Mobile phones and PC hardware will perhaps lose their meaning 5-10 years from now. Even now, it is possible to do almost any job with a mid-range phone and PC. Services like GeForce NOW, Spotify, Netflix, and high internet speeds are both changing purchasing habits and making the need for high-end hardware components unnecessary. The spread of the ‘rental’ format has already started entering our lives, inversely proportional to the collapse of the ’traditional understanding of advertising’.

I asked ChatGPT to list the professions in the field of publishing that artificial intelligence could perform. The interesting part is that when I told it to list more professions, this list kept growing.

So where will the center of attraction shift next? What is the next ‘big thing’? I think the answer, although we might not fully realize it yet, lies in ‘artificial intelligence’. Because maybe 5 years from now, an AI-powered assistant that answers whatever anyone asks and can be personalized will steal the hearts of tech enthusiasts. There will be no need for many social media influencers and publishers who showcase their talents and knowledge today. I don’t think anyone would say no to a highly realistic assistant whose gender, height, weight, knowledge level, tone of voice, and many other features you can personalize, and who is at your beck and call at all times. Yes, it won’t happen overnight, but this new technology will catch all of us in its web over time.

For years, the data of those who put in effort to publish their hardware, software, and technology expertise has been harvested by bots on the internet. This data has been plundered by AI models and machines, and continues to be plundered. Moreover, this situation is not unique to publishers. It affects many people such as photographers, painters, writers, reporters, software developers, designers, drivers, doctors, lawyers, clerks, etc.

In these images, it listed the professions it could perform instead of humans in general.I didn’t ask anymore after 70.

Another aspect of the matter is even more troublesome. Tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Google, Adobe, etc., which now have more money in their coffers than many countries, have become more powerful than some governments. Is there a government that these giants cannot buy? We must also not ignore that the black box China is investing heavily in artificial intelligence.

Along with all of this, many legal and ethical problems still lie ahead. In particular, law is the only way to regulate this power FOR NOW. Because everyone involved agrees on how dangerous artificial intelligence can become and its potentials. The control and use of this power will perhaps determine the future superpower. For instance, Ilya Sutskever, co-founder and chief scientist of OpenAI, defended keeping AI closed-source because it will soon reach a dangerous level. Meanwhile, it is worth reminding that OpenAI was actually founded for non-profit and open artificial intelligence development.

I cannot help but wonder if the anger of the technology publishers I mentioned at the beginning of the article might be a subconscious manifestation of what we will experience soon. The desperation of having their efforts and accumulation easily converted into ‘ones’ and ‘zeros’ and turning into people who are no longer needed. Perhaps they were the first to feel what is coming.

I love the expression ‘running towards what one is running away from,’ especially when it is said about people I don’t like. And this time, I think, it’s time to run away for all of us, humanity.
