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.
You're not replacing all engineers and surveyors.
There's too many factors to just toss an AI at it.
Surveyors probably, engineers maybe.
Depends on the engineering.
AI is good at eliminating the boring stuff that doesn't really require too much complexity. Like watching watching security tapes.
No, surveying is a task which requires a good deal of logistics and care in setting up your instruments.
Yeah, writing news stories, and making music, and improving algorithms.
And there's fundamental limits which make eliminating engineering basically impossible.
Facebook, Google, Youttube already trust mot of the engineering work to automation.
You can automate the calculations and some idea generation, but there's hard limits on how far you can take that.
define "most of the engineering work" Last I heard they were still hiring coders.
they have to, with millions of minutes of youtube content being uploaded every day, thats undoable for a normal person
Okay, like .01% worlds jobs are safe, GG guys
No, this whole "AI is going to put everyone out of work" is badly overhyped.
And reflects a lack of creativity and understanding of fundamental limits.
They are putting people out of jobs, not ARE putting people out of jobs.
nah people get the limits, they just dont know we're not close to achieving the desired outcome 😉
Like, AI is already in a position where it will likely be dominated by a few major players just because they have all the data
And with stuff like GDPR...
Can your brain functions be replicated by a computer?
That's a hard question to answer.
And I'm not sure it actually matters at the end of the day.
It does.
Since you don't need a full brain to do that many tasks.
That's the question, is there something magical about being human that makes us irreplaceable by a robot brain.
we dont know how, but its possible
Now we're just debating metaphysics.
nah
