Is Ai coming for your job? (also, updated Ai development)

  • HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two)

    Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation)

    if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!

I've tried using it several times. Now, if it shows evidence of being a bot, I hang up. Usually, now they tell you. I've concluded that the type of software or hardware problem I can't solve myself is not likely to be solvable by any bot I've run across...
Yeah, I've come across a couple of support chatbots - I don't even waste my time anymore.

If it can do my job, let it. I do road destruction. I’m sure my employer would be happy to unemploy me, considering my very, very generous compensation package. But until robotics progress to the point of something along the lines of the terminator, I think I am safe.
 

You've likely been seeing the rise of AI technology everywhere—and some people are pretty concerned about what it could mean for the future. But did you know it might hold the key to understanding, and even changing, parts of our biology? Learn about what AI has changed for the world of proteins in this new episode of SciShow!

Again we are taking about generative AI. Not terminator. It isn't even the same conversation.
Ah yes, but wasn’t there a Google engineer that claimed the Google Chat AI achieved sentient thought? 🤣 Of course, he was quickly escorted out of the building.

At this phase of my life/practice, most of my practice requires a detailed knowledge of both the laws and the trends affecting large non-profits. I guess AI could handle some of that. The rest involves estates, which normally means helping elderly widows negotiate problems, both technical and legal they will probably never face again in their lives. Emotional empathy and support are a large part of that. Show me a program which could handle that through a machine which could gain their support and personal confidence. That is frankly laughable. It gets down to having to hold a hand or a shoulder when someone's crying. Show me a machine which can accomplish that...
 
Doesn't matter - if they can be replaced by inexpensive Ai by their employer, they will be. The bottom line is the bottom line.

Anyone who thinks AI won't massively affect their industry within a handful of years is naive.
It will affect everyone, everywhere, eventually. The only questions are: how rapidly the changes occur, and how bad it will be.
Lot of variables with the former (the “bottom lines” you mentioned), and the latter involves, by necessity, government involvement. In that regard, since it’s so far behind the tech curve already, it difficult for me to be optimistic and think the disasters won’t be widespread and apocalyptic; but that optimism becoming reality is likely mankind’s only shot at survival.

With what they are now calling AI, its been effecting all of us since at least the 60's

There’s no doubt, to this point, it’s mostly made our lives easier. That might change to the point where all we can actually do (beyond sports/hobbies) is live, and I’m not sure that’s “living”. The challenge is balancing the positives and the negatives- and there are potentially catastrophic negatives.
