>AI which is about replacing the mind Give me a break. AI replacing the mind... Put zebra stripes on an upside down sofa and the best image recognition algorithms see a zebra. That's how far the "understanding" of our AI goes. What you are doing is fearmongering.

I think OP's point was it's replacing a lot of mental work vs the industrial revolution replacing physical work. It can't do everything yet of course.

Thats not what I mean. I mean that the competition is with whatever part of the brain the human uses for their job and that AI is taking on things that require higher and higher levels of abstraction. For instance Radiologist. Ironically cleaning people are probably the last people who will be replaced as that require actual general intelligence AI

I know that was a tongue in cheek comment, but I couldn't resist a quick google images + clarifai. http://i.imgur.com/rwwVDe1.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rwwVDe1.jpg (Forgot to flip it though. Left as an exercise to the reader) That being said, the argument that because there are some things AI can't do yet[0] we shouldn't worry about automation doesn't really hold. If you manage to make a "brain worker" 10x as efficient by automating a big part of their job, possibly leaving some oversight to catch zebra sofas, you simply won't need as many employed in that profession any longer. [0] to be fair a small picture of a zebra striped sofa without context might fool people too

  Actually, it was not a tongue in cheek comment. It is based on a real example I read some time ago. And the upside down part is important ;)

  Auxiliary, I think most office jobs can be modeled as a Flow Chart (with slight exceptions that can be caught by AI).
