A small thought. When AI gets good-ish then would it work sort of like this:
You go to a supermarket and ask it where the beans are, it tells you. It reminds you to pick up toothpaste. You go to the checkout, but to the AI enabled one because the AI is nice and chatty and asks how your day was.
You pop into mcdonalds and the AI greets you, asks you what you'd like to eat (I imagine it will be on a screen as you walk in)... questions - am I talking to mcdonalds AI, or will my personal AI follow me into the store? How will my personal AI interact with mcdonalds - via APIs or something?
Or will each store have its own AI, so if I pop to Tesco then Tesco AI will talk to me.
I find it weird that on android I have one AI, on my desktop I have Cortana and Google/Chrome, on my iPad it's Siri... I don't want to be interacting with a thousand as I show and game and browse the internet. I want one that follows me around.
- ThomPete 10y agoI am pretty sure we will see a move to nationalize basic production. If you think about it it actually make sense as there is no more competitive advantage to be had if the entire ecosystem is automated.
- WillPostForFood 10y agoAutomation doesn't mean no competitive advantage.
- ThomPete 10y agoFull automation do.
- oh_sigh 10y agoWhy would you need AI for any of those scenarios you mentioned? I agree about your last point though.
- Xuebit 10y agoI have lurked here for a long time but never felt intelligent enough or had anything worthy to contribute, until now. When the article mentions AI (Or any other article/discussion), I don't think it means robots that walk around and greet/interact with you like in iRobot, I would say it means self-serve checkouts, like the ones already in Tescos or McDonalds[1]; or Automated cars/trucks that don't have a need for human interaction[2]. I think that is where the confusion lies with AI, it might not necessarily mean a physical entity.
