You're thinking short-term. What are the odds the food service industry will employ humans to take mass-market food orders in 10 years?
Restaurant servers will still exist at the higher-end, much like chauffeurs do today. But most people won't be driving their cars and a human won't be taking burger orders or grilling the patty.
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 7y agoMy honest opinion is that after investing in AI and seeing it come up short time and again, over the next 10 years, businesses are going to run from anything that calls itself AI. I think we are going to have another “AI” winter.
- CamperBob2 7y agoI think AlphaGo put paid to that notion. It's real this time. It's all over but the scaling.
- kadoban 7y agoI'm picturing someone saying the same thing about Deep Blue a couple of decades ago. Are we so sure it's that different this time around? Sure, current AI are better, but are they better enough?
- chillacy 7y agoIf you step back and look at the tech we use everyday similar to expert systems + graph search like deep blue, it might seem like magic. Web search, online maps, digital advertising, all huge right now.
- CamperBob2 7y agoYes. Chess and Go are that different.
- crucifiction 7y agoWhat is different this time is cloud computing / always connected devices. This enables easy collection and access to enormous amounts of training (and continuous retraining) data needed, as well as offloading processing to a single, central model that can be optimized for fat hardware for runtime.
