I guess we can look forward to a bright future where we focus 100% on work and AI will play our games /s

Once again, we see that it's much easier to teach machines to perceive and decide well, in many cases well above human performance - while at the same time, making machines that can navigate the same physical environment humans do, and do a variety of manual tasks that mix power and precision, remains extremely challenging. The message this sends is pretty clear: machines are better at thinking, humans are better at manual work. That is the natural division of labor that plays into strengths and weaknesses of both computers and human beings. And so, I'm sorry to say this, but the near future is that in which computers play our games and do the thinking and creative work and management (and ultimately governance), because they're going to be better at this than us, leaving us to do all the physical labor, because that's one thing we will remain better at for a while. That, or we move past the existing economic structures, so that we no longer need to worry about being competitive with AI labor. /s, but only a little.

  In a world where AI takes over cognitive work it's not far fetched to imagine a future where robotics is going to hockey stick, at which case we will either end up like citizens of The Culture, or if not citizens of the Belt.

> where we focus 100% on work Lol that's crazy optimistic, what work ?

  Picking up dropped pencils, for example. Robots are still hilariously bad at that. Or driving your new AI overload around the country from LAN to LAN.

    > Picking up dropped pencils, for example. Robots are still hilariously bad at that It's only hilarious because we're allowed to laugh. For now. Wait a few years its possible these things will demand respect.

      I can't believe you'd laugh at a sentient agent who's trying their best to pick up a pencil and obviously struggling. Maybe you should practice some empathy and help them pick it up?
