AI Is Worse - Ed Hurst - 12-02-2018
The frontier of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a better life, but simply more of what's wrong with human intellect in the first place.
Yesterday I replaced the brake pads on the rear of our car. I went out with just the tools recommended in several different videos showing how to do it. Those tools were not enough because the details of my situation were not the same as those faced by the mechanics in the videos. For example, my package of parts included things those other mechanics didn't replace (buffer springs). Further, there were peculiar effects from corrosion and foreign material not present in those videos. As noted in this article, there are some jobs AI can't do better than humans.
Quote:He would explain which jobs are in danger of being replaced by AI and which are safe for the time being:
Quote:Customer service, but not every kind. Customer service with very high-end human touch will stay. Telemarketing and telesales will disappear. Dish washing, fruit picking, assembly-line inspection will all disappear. Paralegals and accountants — but not 100%. Some lawyers who do form filling, those would be replaced. Creativity-oriented jobs are safe. Working in a construction environment is safe. Cleaning is hard to do for a robot and every house is different, so that’s safe.
But AI can only go as far as humans might go in the first place. That is, humans without the heart-led way. Nothing in AI can duplicate the subtle nuance of spiritual awareness. Instead, AI will give the illusion of greater material progress in the short term, based on all the false assumptions of the Fall.
Western Civilization will be replaced by the Networked Civilization of AI, and it will be all the more a prison of Satan than the West was.

AI might do materially better in higher-intelligence, less diverse nations (China), because the low-paying jobs not requiring a lot of intelligence can be automated, and the replaced workers could just find jobs more suited to their level. Maybe.

An AI civilization puts me in mind of Philip K Dick dystopian future stories.

What is almost funny to me is how AI is actually quite a job threat to bureaucrats. It's one of the first places US government would tend to deploy AI.

Can we agree that this is a positive of AI? Haha.
Although, I'd prefer if the job of bureaucrats just kind of went away instead of being automated, this is the second best option, it seems.
