ChatGPT creates eerily dystopian image for what humanity will look like in 30 years

ChatGPT creates eerily dystopian image for what humanity will look like in 30 years

Welcome to the world of tomorrow

It's hard to imagine the world of tomorrow, mainly because it's hard to keep track of the world of today.

It's even more amusing looking back at older movies depicting what the 'future' looks like.

Back to the Future Part II is one of the best examples, as the 1989 movie's take on 2015 is far from what the world looked like nine years ago.

Still, phone biometrics, hoverboards, hydrated food, and 3D movies are just some of the predictions that have become eerily close to reality.

Also, what about Apple Vision Pro serving as a modern take on the movie's phone glasses?

Looking to our own future, what will society look like? Assuming someone doesn't press the button on nuclear warfare or we aren't wiped out by artificial intelligence, we should see the world evolve and even more of an advanced rate than we're already used to.

You only have to look at how far we've come since ChatGPT was introduced in November 2022.

Now, we've turned to ChatGPT itself to give its own insight into our futures.

Asking, "Create an image of what humanity will look like in 30 years," ChatGPT has delivered a dystopian take on humanity in 2054.

Looking like an episode of the animated Love Death + Robots, the picture depicts a sprawling urban hub with towering skyscrapers made of glass and solar panels on rooftops. There's still plenty of greenery, as wall gardens add some nature to this concrete jungle.

We already know we spend most of our lives with our faces buried in our phones, but according to ChatGPT, we'll all be wearing VR-inspired headsets. We've all seen those videos of people wearing headsets on the subway and thinking, 'That's brave,' but in the future, it seems everyone might own one.

ChatGPT doesn't suggest that's much has changed in terms of vehicles, with both cars and busses looking pretty similar to how they look in 2024.

Still, you can bet they'll probably be all-electric or powered by some newfangled energy source.

The artwork shows drones filling the sky, and as some delivery companies have adopted drones as a way to deliver, ChatGPT suggests it's an idea that will expand.

There's more futuristic clothing that also looks like it'll be powered by some fancy tech, while there's a massive globe in the middle of the picture.

We're not sure what purpose it serves, but it could be some sort of sentient AI that's controlling the city. If not, we imagine it working like New York to Dublin portal.

ChatGPT's glimpse into the future has likely got plenty wrong, but equally, there are concepts in there that we already see being used on a daily basis.

Like some are convinced The Simpsons predicted the future, it'll be interesting to hang ChatGPT's take on 2054 and come back to check how close it really was.

Hey, at least it didn't show the world as a scorched Earth being ruled by robots.
