No, it’s quite different. It’s taking subtle human judgement out of decision making. Some systems don’t need subtle social decision making. Using AI for those systems is great. But a lot do. And in those that do, if you’re not careful and automate too much, errors compound. Quickly. AI recommendation engines have already ripped society apart and increased division, because the subtle bridge building that human curation enables is removed. Hospital systems have been being increasingly systematized and are becoming increasingly hellish and expensive. They’re a non AI example of the same phenomenon. The risks are in trying to systematizes things with a social aspect. I love automation and think we should strive to free up as much time for exploration, creativity, and human connection as we can. But AI is just plain bad at understanding us, and always will be, in my view. It will always be a mimic. It simply cannot do the subtle social things humans do because it does not have the motivations that enable that subtle behavior.
