Yeah I find this article incoherent.
> AI can turn some impressive party tricks, but it's unsuited for solving serious problems in the real world.
> Real AI isn't sci-fi but the precaritisation of jobs, the continued privatisation of everything and the erasure of actual social relations.
How in the world can AI simultaneously make jobs more precarious and privatize everything but be unsuited for solving serious problems? TFA is riddled with these contradictions.
- Yoric 3y agoHow is that incoherent? Just because a system is bad doesn't mean it won't get used, especially if companies or institutions feel that they can save money in the process. I've lived in several countries and have witnessed how, in the name of efficiency, it has gradually become impossible to get in touch with anyone from an institution to get a problem resolved. We've replaced human beings with phone menus. They don't do the job (of answering your questions or solving problems), but they're certainly cheaper than the human beings who did!
