Sorry it took so long, I hope you like it because I had a lot of fun with this one. All the predictions are inspired by real technology and events, so if you're interested I've put a link in the description with all my inspirations.

[MHX]

I like that you told the story as if it was an essay in the past

[konokiomomuro]

Imma come back to this a few years later to count how many of his predictions were right.

[masenformen]

Ok so no one's gonna talk of how Britmonkey just predicted Pewdipie's death in 2026? 💀

As Stephen hawking once said the real risk with Ai isn't malice but compliancy

[placeholdername]

My main worry is about the inequality it may cause, if AI is too centralized. We need open source AI, at least to a degree.

[ancientegyptj]

As a historian I'm scared that AI in schools may change or remove History in schools, like removing all mention of Operation Weserübung because it's not important in the eyes of the AI. Or making history propaganda for the programmer's political views like the queen cleopatra thing that came out.

[Chris-okzo]

This doesn't feel like a bad or good future with AI, but just A future with AI, be it right or wrong. Not the best or worst case scenario, but one very likely to occur. Dunno if unbiased is the right word, but it's the first that came to mind. Anyhow, hope to see a follow up in the next decade to see if these predictions came true.

[Mekuso]

I think the only prediction here that is truly unlikely is that Google would be able to create an AI-proof captcha. Like, there's absolutely no way that "arrange the sequence of these images" can't be solved by an AI yet can easily be solved by most humans.

[CaspersUniverse]

The flip test would be easy for AI, right? ChatGPT has already gotten the ability to get info from images, so if it analyzed every one of the 4 and then chronologically ordered them, it'd be more than fine.

[beatlemaniac]

And here is me just wanting a robot as a drinking buddy, like Bender from Futurama.

- Australian flag to show Aboriginal flag instead of Union Jack
- USA now has 52 states (I presume Puerto Rico and WDC)

It’s always the subtle differences that peak my interest lmao

[AgenteOf]

Has a Student studying AI, the more you learn, the bigger the will to live in Alaska with minimum technology you will have.

[manyseas]

There will definitely be an entertainment archive for pre-AI content (Music, Video games, books, Movies and TV shows). Those people will be called old timers.

[Veilure]

I've never been so conflicted about one of your videos. Half of these seem plausible, and the other half are off the rails, coming from the perspective of someone who works with this kind of stuff :P

[MrMaggidaggi]

Interesting video, disagree with several parts, which only makes sense for a speculative video about a future that does not exist yet. My biggest point of contention is on the future of a teachers role, since the job includes many more tasks then the ones you mentioned. With lesson planning and creation of worksheets left to the AI, I think that the role of the teacher will drift closer into classroom management and social development, a trend we can already see happening over the last few decades. With the individual specialized teaching tools you propose, the teacher will be freed up to focus on solving conflict, integrating students into the school community, and the overall psychological health of the students.
In short I imagine the job as a teacher will turn into even more of a social worker, helping the students with their emotional and human development.

[Chris_winthers]

Probably the best, most nuanced prediction/set of predictions about the future of AI that i've seen so far

[Ayeloo]

This makes me feel a deep and primal sense of dread for some reason. Or perhaps for no reason at all

10/10

[ericr.malice]

Gotta love how the thumbnail says "It will be fine." and then most of this is absolutely not fine. amazing

[matthewrolfe]

imagine an ai decide to spare you because you were kind to them
