Disagree. For AI to be useful it needs to be better at the job than how the job currently being done.
We humans rely on thousands of things where an approximate solution is fine. Especially when it's about interacting with other humans.
Programming is an exception, but what % of the population are programmers and engineers?
- Turskarama 4y agoProgrammers, engineers, accountants, lawyers, doctors, nurses, builders, farmers, manufacturers, drivers (including pilots and ships captains), and scientists all need to be very precise in their work and mistakes will cause deaths (I have almost certainly forgotten some). This may not be the majority of workers by number, but these are the jobs civilization is _built_ on, they are the jobs that need to keep going no matter what or the whole house of cards collapses. The majority of jobs that require less precision falls under the umbrella of artists (I will include advertisers here), people managers, and service workers.

- Turskarama 4y agoIt does matter if you put some peanut in when the customer is allergic to peanuts.
- eternityforest 4y agoThat's the kind of thing you can solve with deterministic algorithm guardrails though.
