The only thing cars did was to save time and resources doing things humans were already capable of doing. Now, such engines are used for life saving things like ambulances and food transport, but also nefarious things like invading other countries, or mundane things like dropping off your kids at karate class.
I suppose whether you think the combustion engine actually improved society depends on who you ask as well :)
- listenallyall 2y agoHuh, didn't realize humans could fly or go to the moon without combustion engines.
- setopt 2y agoI guess we’re stretching the analogy a bit far… But we’re mostly flying using jet engines, which is a distant descendant of a combustion engine that was developed over a century later than the car engine. If we want to see the AI analogue of this, it’s probably a future AGI and not what we have today :)
- listenallyall 2y ago"We" aren't stretching any anology. Your statement was ridiculous from the start. Pat yourself on the back for saving a couple hours at work, and leave it at that.
