2/3rds of Americans don’t know what AI is or the limitations of LLMs.
They have one conversation with ChatGPT, are convinced it’s as smart as a person, and have no idea how it works.
AI/automation could replace almost every job- but at a higher cost and a lower accuracy. Everyone is asking why AI is automating creative jobs an not manual labor. Automation COULD replace manual labor, it just costs more. Right now we are looking into which jobs are cost effective to replace with llms, which is why there is such investigation into copyright abuse. If you can’t train AI without huge copyright payments, llms might cost more than just employing people to do the mind numming jobs that the llms could replace.

Remember when all the “burger flippers” got replaced in 2012 with the introduction of this robot?: https://www.businessinsider.com/burger-robot-could-revolutionize-fast-food-industry-2012-11
Much to the chagrin of execs, automation is not that straightforward. Then again, I bet CEOs would be more easily replaced with AI than a lot of these “no/low skill” jobs, but the AI would have to be tuned to spew even more bullshit than it is currently capable of.
No, but I do remember the advent of online ordering reducing the staff needed to answer phones and take orders at the counter at the pizza place I worked at.
And now those same restaurants don’t even staff drivers anymore, they outsource to door dash (who are now getting paid less, with less protections)
Let’s not pretend that technology improvements can’t cause cascading changes in an industry.
On another note two thirds of people don’t actually know what ai is capable of
Quick, everybody say AI could do their job so that the corporate airheads invest a bunch of money in AI, get sad when it doesn’t deliver, and then become super pessimistic about AI
They’d be pulling that money out of our wages. They certainly aren’t going to give the C level execs a pay cut, never mind less of a pay raise or bonus.
I’m actively looking for opportunities to use AI to replace the work I do, and not finding many effective ones so far. Sure it can write some crappy code for me, but writing code comes after the hard part, which is identifying the problem and how it could be solved with tech. Novel problems need novel solutions and an LLM can’t generate those.

Or the fear of AI advancement will force everyone to believe that they can work for far less than they are now.
AI will have a place in our future but for the foreseeable future, we’ll still need people to do certain things and think of certain things. AI will also be a tool for the wealthy elite and corporations to better manage and manipulate people and forcing everyone to do more for less.
AI is basically the new gunpowder technology … whoever has it and uses it to their best advantage gets to rule the world. And like with the invention of gunpowder, there’s going to be a whole mess of people everywhere that will suffer and die while a small group of people try to figure out how to become the next momentary God King of the world.

It’ll never happen. AI will know to switch to metric and timestamp things using the correct format.

Actually even a monkey could do it
