So “debt collectors” is protected employment because although it is mostly “file” it is also sometimes “physical” ....
No shucks, Sherlock.
Meanwhile, wasn’t Tesla turning into an Optimus company?
So all those millions of government employees will not be needed? Good.
If you ask AI why there is a hot spot under your hallway floor slab and your gas and water bill is higher lately, the AI can tell you to call a plumber.
I sit at a computer. The reason for my job is that I get hand-prepared applications from the public which have numerous errors. If the applications were all perfect, I’d have no job.
I’d say that if your job is interpreting and error checking human input, you’ll have your job.
MIT’s Course 6 was traditionally “Electrical Engineering”. Now it is “Computer Science and Electrical Engineering”. Most MIT undergraduate Course 6 concentrators are computer scientists—not electrical engineers. That is not true for older Course 6 majors.
In the near future, computer science will be done largely by AI. Electrical engineering will be done by humans, as will research in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, as well as biochemical engineering, astronautics/aeronautics, etc.
MIT Computer Science has been reduced to a fad!
I think many on FR identified this all much earlier.
As a guy who works and codes with different “AI”, I can confidently say that Musk’s “Analyst, accountant, paralegal, programmer, anyone producing files and documents, automates first because digital work is exactly what AI does natively”
is bull pucky
If that analyst, accountant, paralegal, programmer does stuff like a code monkey i.e. without thinking,then they can be replaced.
But if they can think, they wont’ be replaced — AI hallucinates and hallucinates BAD - it does improve a programmer’s productivity but does not replace him
Musk said factory workers are vulnerable to AI. I assume that he is referring to pick and place assembly type jobs that go all the way to packaging, labeling, truck loading and maybe even AI transportation. I myself am a CNC machinist which is a high-tech trade skill. Even though CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, there is a lot of “atom moving” involved throughout the processes. I think that my trade is safe...atleast till my working life is exhausted (hopefully 20 years).
Not sure it’s going to totally eliminate those professions, but it may reduce the need for so many. Can get by with fewer accountants, admin jobs.
AI to get rid of congress
My kids keep sending me AI videos. They look so real. I don’t like it one bit.
Whats the point of even discussing this anyway? Everyone knows that SkyNet is going to take us all out and Neo will be killed by AI controlled Agents. But atleast we’ll be in the Matrix...living out our virtual lives...oblivious.
“Can’t wire a building”
Machines could cut cables to proper length, remove the sheathing at the ends and drop them in a box.
Something similar could be done for plumbing.
AI could take a picture of a house and suggest room layouts.
Once a layout is selected, components such as building plans, walls, cables and precut pipe for a house could be prepared after they are paid for.
So... AI Freepers?
Do we even need a congress??
Not impressed with what they call AI now which is anything but AI and more like a fast search engine.
All computer jobs will not go away, not by any means. Human creativity will never be replaced. Copied by AI in the future maybe but AI will never replace human creativity.
Just look at the insanity if the left as a prime example. If AI can come up with that process on it’s own then it’s on a self destructive path at a faster pace then the left.
I asked my doctor a few weeks ago what he was planning on doing when he was replaced by AI. I just got a deer in the headlights look.
wonder what this does to colleges
