Problem-solving, values and human judgment

Altman contrasts the pleasure people find in innovation with his expectation that AI will also solve difficult problems well. He identifies human values and the interpretation of results as continuing concerns.

Innovation and solving hard problems are part of the fun of life for many people. We need to be honest that AI is going to do some of that work very well.

I think questions about what people value will remain human questions. There will also be questions about how to interpret and explain results where we will really want a person to do it.
