We've had automation of physical tasks for a long time. Automation of mental tasks is a whole different ball game. People who think we're seeing more of the same game have no idea. You can't compare a machine being stronger/faster than a person to a machine being smarter than a person.
It's not the same thing, and we aren't ready for it, partly just because people don't recognize the difference between the two.
- maverick_iceman 10y agoA lot of mental tasks have been automated away. Pen and paper to slide rule to electronic calculator etc.
- jethro_tell 10y agoWell, the calculation has been automated away. before now, you still needed a semi-competent person to input the values for computation. Now a computer can start to do that. We'll see things like computer vision tools that can estimate concrete order volumes based on a couple quick looks into the forms.
