Anything that involves in-person charisma will not be replaced for centuries, if ever.
Ditto for any kind of writing or communication skills that are counter-cultural in nature. It seems pretty clear that the AIs corporations are creating are pretty aligned with whatever values the powers-that-be have. I don't expect AI to invent the equivalent of punk rock.
- giantg2 3y agoWho needs charisma if you're a robot overlord? Motivation could be achieved by other means, and if AI is really that smart, they will see that.
- keiferski 3y agoRobot overlords aren't going to take over the world anytime soon. Real life isn't a sci-fi novel.
- Jensson 3y agoPredictability and objectivity of a robot >>> charisma for most jobs. People prefer not to deal with people, to do stuff via web forms instead of phone calls etc. In person charisma is also easily done via robots by just giving them an animated avatar, that robot will outperform 99% of humans easily since humans have a hard time faking emotions while a robot doesn't, they can fake being excited or sad or understanding every time and always be there for you unlike real humans. The only reason that is hard for humans isn't that it is hard to do the action, but that it is hard to control our emotions.
- keiferski 3y agoI’m sorry, but if you think that an in-person robot with an animated face is more charismatic than a human being, we must live in different universes.

- Jensson 3y agoReal humans mostly shows fake emotions when they work in such jobs, everyone who can read humans knows that. Fake emotions aren't very charismatic, you feel the fakeness from a mile away, a robot showing emotions without that hint of fakeness is way better. Of course you would need to build a model around that, which people hasn't done, but the rules for charismatic social interactions such as serving food are really simple so I see no reason why that would be hard to do. Maybe you are underestimating robots here, based on the sci fi robots that are very inflexible and bad at showing emotions? We know that AI can show extremely expressive faces when they draw images etc, there is no reason to believe they wouldn't be able to do that since they already can do it.
- keiferski 3y agoHow does a robot have real emotions? Aren't they fake by definition? By charisma I mean in the sense of higher-level sociopolitical organization, like being a manager at a company or giving a public speech – useful skills in the job market that will continue to be useful. Not serving french fries. A smiling robot isn't going to inspire or convince a human being of anything. Regardless, the idea that a robot smiling is somehow "more charismatic" than a human being is absurd. People read too much sci-fi.
- Jensson 3y ago> How does a robot have real emotions? Aren't they fake by definition? That wasn't the point, the point is whether you can feel that they are fake or not, doesn't matter if they actually are. Fake feeling emotions are much harder to convey for a robot since they require more nuance. > A smiling robot isn't going to inspire or convince a human being of anything. They already have, smiling robots with basically no intelligence are already making billions for corporations in phone games. > Regardless, the idea that a robot smiling is somehow "more charismatic" than a human being is absurd. People read too much sci-fi. Why is that absurd? The idea that robots can't be charismatic is probably the most common trope of sci-fi, in reality we see robots mastering soft skills way easier than hard skills, there is no reason to believe charisma will come after understanding at this point, if you believe that you have your head in the sand.
