Why are the mods butchering this thread? I posted that sports would be one of the professions that AI wouldn't replace, because people will always want to watch real sportsmen and women competing. WTF is wrong with that? You'd think that would be quite relevant to this forum. Bill Gates and dozens of other industry leaders think that virtually all jobs will be gone in just 5 or 10 years time, but they also virtual all agree that professional sports will still thrive. Jeez, the mods can be such imbeciles sometimes.

You mean that moderations is almost as error prone as if it were being done by AI?
Did he actually say this, or is this another "640k" putting words in his mouth and now everyone believes this? I've watched supposedly relevant interviews and searched and can't find direct quotes anywhere. Almost seems like some AI output gone awry.
That being said, I know that he answered Jimmy Fallon's question of "Will we still need humans?" with "Not for most things." Sounds like he's being sensational (he was hawking his book during the interview).
He forgot construction workers. No AI is capable of remodeling. Robots can do a couple new construction tasks, but are pretty worthless on an existing building. My roommate was a computer programmer and he used to spout stuff like this thirty years ago. It hasn’t come to pass. Additionally, AI is not infallible. AI makes lots of errors and even makes up stuff:
Robots are only as good as their sensors and sensors make mistakes and get covered by dirt, mud, etc.. They work reasonably well in ideal conditions, but few things in life behave ideally. My car has a number of autonomous driving features and they are annoying as heck and probably dangerous as a result (It will slow down when it doesn’t need to, it will alert you anytime you are in a double turn lane, etc.).
Not sure about this man, computers have come a long way since 80s-90s...who knows what they will be capable of in 30-40 years time.
Sensors on robots are pretty good. I mean how else do billions of vehicles, computers, and phones operate everyday without fail? Sure they do fail and they are sent for repair, and tested.
I can definitely see a construction robot in the future. Nailing screws and nuts into walls, leveling out measurements, and following algorithms sounds like a perfect job for a robot...Its just a matter of time before the next inventor engineers a solution.
Cars today are overengineered garbage. They cant be autonomized because humans want the control. If cars can be autonomized it would be easy... we already autonomized transportation to a degree with the railway system over 100 years ago.
Computers are capable of performing the same operation virtually forever. Its only a matter of time before someone figures how to translate that to every single job on the market.
I'll tell you one thing... fast food is definitely gonna be virtualized. I bet a well designed robot could make me the whole menu at McDonalds better than any human cook could.

that's the one thing AI can do helpfully and correctly
What we need is AI's that can be rich people and take Bill Gates's job. Program it to have no narcissistic ego and it will be a much better billionaire. Instead of jabbing everyone with experimental vaccines it will go around building houses and fixing roads.
It wont be AI though, the confusing thing is people keep saying "AI is gonna take over" as if ChatGpt is gonna take over the world or something. When people say AI they mean Artificial Intelligence... which is something that must be created by humans as they contain the derivatives to the algorithms necessary to perform the tasks to be automated....
Maybe AI can create more AI with some kind of recursive algorithm but highly unlikely. AI doesnt have creativity reality... its just logic.
I would wager my life savings that the world’s oldest profession will survive.
lol you think you’re clever. But you are wrong. Sex robots have taken over already. 1- more women use vibrator than man
2- more men than ever watch a illusion on a mirror and use a automatic fleshlight
With any linear growth, sex robots will be taking over by 2100. Not even a question. It begs the question “what is sex?” It’s not that human to human sex will go away just that it will always be mediated in the future by an Ai surrogate. for example, say by 2300 it will be extremely odd and unheeded of and almost incomprehensible for someone to have sex with another human. The Ai is creating a literally ontological set/layer between the self and “other” it happened with language, the Ai is just the next one.
its unheard of to have sex with someone and not “speak” to them before or at all. That’s the layer between. But this “ai” we see is the next, so again, maybe even by 2200 having sex without Ai there might be down right dangerous. How do you test? How do you validate or record or stay safe from disease? You see—we will become more anxious and more “technologically” merger. Language and words themselves were like the Ai of 100000 BC ai is that now. For animals, it’s normal to do it and not “talk” but humans unheard of. So it logically follows…what you think of thought of as “sex” isn’t what you think it is.
sex is an open [set] like set theory. It’s not closed. It’s basically moving and changing constantly and there is always aspect you don’t see, so that sound logically ontology—-brings you to the next obvious thing——sex robots are not potential, it’s an inevitable thing. But don’t worry, you never will be there anyways. That’s why it’s perfect, each to their own time. Being is always changing.
also it does seem that masturbation and “sex” are not the same experience. It seems people barely even have sex now, the language castrated us—these “condoms” sold to “protect” you. It’s all ridiculous. People think they are having “sex” and the capitalistic language is literally there in person betweeen you, keeping you apart. The language needs to do this to make sure it overpowers sex.
sex and language and in a battle. Language is logic, it starts with the fantasy (axioms) and then says they don’t exist and it’s pure logic.
sex starts with pure unknowns me fantasy, and then thru that you find the ultimate logic. But both want to be dominate, so they lie and cheat and steal and make love occasionally to the other.
The biggest misconception about AI is from trades workers. They think the AI can’t do it. Yes, it can. AI androids can build a house, wire it, and set up plumbing. It can do construction. Most construction jobs already use machinery that can easy be converted to AI.
Most of those demos have been small scale and are very limited. They work okay setting up block and they can do some simple structures if conditions are perfect. It works well so long as everything is uniform. If you get a block damaged in transportation (which happens all the time), it can put in a damaged block and your whole wall is compromised. They require supervision. They have high initial costs. They have numerous moving parts and sensors that require constant maintenance, and they have to be setup just right to do their job. The SAM100 is a semi autonomous mason (initial cost $500k, or rental cost of $20k a month), and it is fairly precise if it is setup perfect and is supervised. In general it is more expensive than using masons (and that’s in the US, where labor costs are high). On one of its demonstration projects it took a week and a half to setup before it could do one specific wall. And that was on a new construction project. It would be completely lost in an existing building. Even on site work, conditions vary constantly. Soil conditions vary greatly depending on moisture content, time of day and location. Without someone experienced directing it, they are lost. So, yes, in ideal conditions, with supervision, and after a significant setup time, they are okay at a few specific tasks, but they are not some panacea.
Some say teachers will be replaced by bots. In some ways (hedge hedge) that could be better, to take politics and personal proclivities out of the process. Most teachers are doing their best, given class size, administrative pressure, poor salaries (uneven salaries, from district to district) parental absence, but when most things are equal there’s no substitute for human teachers with a flair and a love and respect for teaching and kids. It’s a mythic, traditional human practice and ritual, irreplaceable. I wish it were more story-telling than subjects.
