Jeez... Before you blink an eye there will be some MBA-types working on PowerPoint proposals with detailed cost-benefit analyses for using those new AI machines they heard about that can read better than human beings. Needless to say, the technology will fall far short of expectations. This is why there have been two AI winters already.

  I think it's incumbent on people like you to get the word out that ML isn't going to put everyone's jobs at risk. Between this and self-driving cars, local governments are beginning to weigh spending tax dollars on these boondoggles, for example, self-driving cars, instead of on proven modes of transit like public transport. The futurist writers peddling this stuff need to take a moment to chill and learn about the actual state of the underlying technology.

    It's not in their interest to chill and learn. It's in their interest to hype and sell.

      There's very few people in the whole ecosystem who take home a bigger paycheck if they chill and learn. Earth gets what Earth pays for.

Man. When you said that I was really hoping you were being hyperbolic. Then you pasted a link. The world is a sad sad place.
