Text is 2D compared to face to face interaction. It's like assuming a video chat is the same as the real thing when there is so much data being lost.
Is it blindly optimistic to assume that people will eventually yearn for more genuine interaction, daresay truth?
Is it wrong to think that people gain purpose from other people, and that our mammalian instincts will not be so easily conquered?
- JohnFen 3y agoOf course not. But I'm not talking about gaining purpose. I'm talking about being able to pay bills.
- dinvlad 3y agoTemporarily, maybe, until misguided decision makers realize they could not feasibly replace people with a half-baked ‘AI’. And I do think we (the community lurking on HN) are living in a huge bubble - there’re so many more jobs out there that we have not even a slightest idea how to replace. On top of that, the biggest unaddressed problem that everyone seems to pounce over is tacit knowledge - it cannot simply be transferred even between humans, using words, gestures or any other media. It can only be gained through the human experience, by doing stuff. It’s the same old problem from the expert systems days. So we cannot hope to replace them with AI, at least not until AI somehow becomes self-aware and gains all of the non-surface depths of the human mind, and lives through the same experience.
- HKH2 3y agoOkay. I'm talking about people particularly spending money on face to face interaction because they can clearly see everything else is subpar. If your argument is that there won't be anyone to spend money, so even the jobs that AI can't replace won't be safe, then okay.
