Indeed maybe one day they could take over but not today!
Thankfully they still are as dumb as a bag of hammers. Can be used as a tool yes, but very incomplete even with how “advanced” they have become as of late. I know some people in field who just view themselves as “over glorified babysitters.”
With that said even advancement in a hammer can put loads of people out of work. Sadly most jobs can easily be defined in terms of a data set, a series of questions, and presenting a simple answer. It then just comes down to cost to implement, training, and running it. Which for now still requires load of human impute into training AI.
True talk
Thanks Bro.
Yes, you are absolutely right. Not today!. Hopefully, human input will continue to be needed in the training of AI and other requirements that will enable them function better even in the future
Most would not even notice they are training an AI to replace their current job. They just think they are having to fill out some very boring and redundant reports on how they solved a customer complaint, or completed a daily action. For incase the issue was not solved or occurs again down the road for another employee to deal with.
Then there are the "peer reviews" where I would assume people think "oh boy Billy is not going last here very long here he generated 20 pages of data in trying in troubleshooting this problem. How could he not have known he had the solution right away and all this extra research was waste of time." Oh I assure you "Billy" will now know for next time!
Yes, you are right. Afterall all the AI needs is huge amounts of data and we generate enough of that as it is, every minute of everyday. Our only saviour as people like Ray Kurtzweil and Elon Musk posit is a situation where we are able to merge our biological and technological intelligence into one such that we are part of it and it is part of us. In that case, we would be learning as fast as the machines and even have a headstart because we were here first. Just like I said in the article:
