Along with AI devices like the ones that already replace people like technically trained medical transcriptionists.
A woman related how in her job she had to correctly her and understand foreign born doctors and precisely transcribe the
really arcane words.
She said the bosses brought in new software on a system that actually understands foreign accents (!) and corrects them to transcribe the correct terms. Amazing. She permanently lost her job, she said.
AI is going to displace a lot of white collar work as well - not just manual tasks.
As you point out, this is already well underway.
It took a long time to get AI systems up to human levels of competence - but not long for them to go from as good, to better.
Human error rates are soon going to broadly disqualify them from many tasks, that they currently perform.
It makes me wonder about the job market of the future. I know people.often say new jobs in robot repair and maintenance will be created. But will millions of lower skilled people he able to get such jobs? And will there be millions of such jobs created?
On the other hand, spellcheck is my worst enema.
