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
I do accounting and don’t see how AI can do most of what I do. Not saying that it cannot....but I just don’t see it.
I agree with you, and I am doing some AI work.
I think his point is that AI is still in its early stages. AI is now assisting in creating a better AI.
What in 5 years? 10?
Not today, but tomorrow is another matter. It’s only a matter of time.
The bigger question is what are hundreds of thousands or millions of jobless people supposed to do then? Part of the plan to make more people dependent on gov?
