Again, you're thinking big dumb robots, AI is not a big dumb robot. It's a robot that can learn for thousands of other robots.
Uh. I'm in AI.
It also has hard, dumb limits
AI is trained on very specific tasks at the moment.
This make the argument much better than I can.
About robots.
Can you summarize it?
I can't just scan a video.
Don't
Watch it.
If this is yet another "robot cars are replacing truckers" and "Deepmind is going to create strong AI and replace humanity video"...
Not replace humanity.
But replace many if not most jobs.
If it's just "AI will replace jobs" argument, we've seen that since the Luddites.
It shifts the optimal point of the economy and people do other stuff.
Yes, this time is not the same.
Why is this not the same?
Watch the video?
It addresses that point.
And I don't have time to sit through a 15 minute CCP Grey video.
GCP
whatever.
If the argument is that this time their coming for the white collar jobs.
The Luddites were upset that automation was coming for farming and skilled manufacturing.
Okay fine, name a job that can't be automated.
They were sorta right. Not as many people farm any more and we don't line up 100s of people in a workshop to make firearms one-by-one anymore.
What's the job that we're moving people into.
But farming and skilled manufacturing is still around.
Arts for one.
I'm getting slowmo'd.
Hollywood is making more money than before.
Art is an attention based economy, you can't just retrain people to be an artists.
What?
No, you just do what you want.
Sure, attention is limited, but that's everything in this world.
How are they going to make money?
Making stuff people care about.
For who, other artists?
Whomever cares to watch it.
