They could pick up trash, paint, fill potholes and do WPA type work forever.
Which end of the camera are you jockeying for?
Recently Builder.ai filed for bankruptcy after being exposed for using 700 engineers in India pretending to be "artificial intelligence".

And then there's Amazon, who, instead of relying solely on artificial intelligence and advanced sensors, as Amazon had claimed, heralded the 'Just Walk Out' system that as it turns out was being run with manual labor from over 1,000 workers based in India.

Expect the same from all of them. And people need to ask themself where those who are caught are going to work for next.
Pornographers on both sides of the camera will lose their jobs to computer programmers in India pretending to be “AI”.
My company uses AI and my managers have been burned by this tool.
AI determinations do not take into account state statute, case law, have misrepresented what the documents actually say, and lead to incomplete or erroneous conclusions.
Sorry, not impressed.
Are you still waiting for the Kwisatz Haderach to show up?
But other than that, it's awesome.
Sounds like a lot of youngins better rethink trade schools. Or robot repairman.
I use to think that thinking that AI was the Anti-Christ was ridiculous but I am now thinking it might be.
Most Silicone Valley types will think filling potholes is way, way beneath them. Not something the Wife will want to hear about.
“I use to think that thinking that AI was the Anti-Christ was ridiculous but I am now thinking it might be.”
I’m still on the fence on that one; what I can tell you, is that every f’ing chatbot I’ve every had the “pleasure” of interacting with has been nothing but frustrating. They are good at asking you if you want to pay your bill, but anything else, they are completely worthless and frustrating.
ChatGPT isn’t even three years old yet. AI is improving faster than any previous technology in history. Error correction will ramp up swiftly.
I am a retired clinical hospital pharmacist. My job was not counting pills and advising customers in a retail pharmacy. My job was processing orders from the hospital floor and checking them for rational therapy or not. If good we approved the orders, if not good we contacted the doctor. Sometimes it was a good order and sometimes not. I would not process a bad order.
I refused to process an order that would harm. Oddly though written by a doc that thought it was correct. They were not bad guys but at times simply wrong.
Even before this trend I remember the story of a woman who was a medical transcriptionist who made precise records of the recorded spoken words of doctors including the ones with terribly indecipherable foreign accents of technical medical words.
She said her career was squeezed out when the latest software (2015 or something) was even able to recognize the accents.
RE: adapt by developing skills that complement AI capabilities rather than compete with them.
I don’t believe that for a moment.
AI will finish off that attempt to “complement” the work.
RE: relationship building
It will take people skills as in Office Space.

Oh, God, chatbots for customer service are the worst to deal with...
RE: Porn actors.
Beginning I think it was the 1980s there has been a strong trend of science fiction fans to say they want robot or other substitutes for humans to provide sex for them. Named always as what they want science to provide in the future. Not flying cars.
