DeepSeek's emergence signals the beginning of the human-replacing phase of AI

Watching the global frenzy about the new Chinese artificial intelligence model, DeepSeek, last week, I remembered the Statement on AI Risk published by the Center on AI Safety and signed by 350 experts, on May 30, 2023. The company whose semiconductors are good for training AI machines, Nvidia, has increased in value by close to $5 trillion since that Statement on AI Risk called on everyone to slow down in May 2023. DeepSeek accelerates AI takeover DeepSeek released its AI reasoning model, R1, on January 20, a week before the market woke up to it with a fright last Monday. Loading I don't know whether AI developers will take the next step and achieve what's called the "singularity", where AI fully exceeds what the neurons and synapses of the human brain are doing, but I think they will. Routine tasks such as assessing insurance claims, preparing quotes and, well, writing news articles and essays like this, will be taken over by AI — it's already happening.
