exactly

is it possible? yes
Can we do it now? Fuck no

One thing I would point out with this AI stuff.

You saying that AI will NEVER replace X job is the same thing as people who said they'll never flay, they'll never break the sound barrier, they'll never split the atom, and so on.

It doesn't entirely matter. If AI starts becoming sufficiently powerful, we'll integrate it into ourselves.

And then it's a completely different distinction.

Now that's just fallacious.

There's been lots of stuff people have said would happen that never did.

Like what?

Look at old sci-fi. People wonder over all the stuff they got right but forget all the stuff they got wrong.

we'd have a moonbase by 1980

We could.

We just did have a economic motive to do it

Didn't have one that is.

Humans are not horses, is the main issue with the argument against market solving the problem

It's a gross oversimplification of the issue

I'd argue there's an even deeper issue. Everyone gets this strong AI/human distinction. But it doesn't exist.

Who said anything about it not be an optimal state?

Why would you not want automation to take over.

If I send a person into a field and s/he uses his/her cellphone in the process do I account that to the person or the cell phone?

to fuck over people 😉

That's not the same thing and you know it @pratel

Also the cashier example is funny, considering people are stealing groceries in ways they couldn't before

Yes it is and you know it @Dennafen

If AI is sufficiently powerful, it integrates with humans.

That's not true at all.

Like cell phones integrated with most people rendering some tasks moot.

Like, you don't need to be a skilled navigator anymore.

How has facebook integrated with humans other than to distract and enrage us?

I'd bet most people don't even know what "orienteering" is.

shows us peoples lives

Exactly.

Facebook has "replaced" certain things but enabled others.

No it doesn't it shows peoples fantasies.

And reality doesnt?

You partake in your friends relationship issues?

You snoop through their house without them knowing? look through their mess?

Sometimes actually yes.

The relationship issues not the snooping.

But only when invited, yes?

Depends on if I'm living with them or not.

in reality people show you what they want to show you,

Just like on FB, they show you what they want you to see of them
