I get your point but I still disagree. Take a job like a plumber for example. Could you replace it with AI and robots? In theory yes. Will it ever happen? No. Why not? Because it makes no economic sense to do so. Developing, testing and maintaining robots and AI capable of handling every kitchen and bathroom alone would be massively expensive and for what return? There isn't enough money in the plumbing market to justify disrupting it.
- nodnyl 9y agoThe plumber example is a good one. All the AI breakthroughs you read about seem to have simple "IO" so to speak. Even a self driving car while a challenging task, is reasonably well constrained, an effective solution might be possible with just cameras, throttle, brake and steer angle. A robot I can call about a plumbing problem, that can realize it needs to dig up a pipe in the front lawn, successfully dig up the pipe in the front lawn and fix a leak. Not to mention the rest of the things a plumber does. Now that is hard task and I can't see it being solved any time soon. Any job that has difficult "IO" is a long way from automation in my mind.
