There's plenty of mental skill and thought that goes into positioning yourself to move heavy things around without dying.
Many of those skills are obsolete when using a forklift.
- cootsnuck 1y agoA forklift is actually a great example of using technology to augment human capabilities without replacing human judgement. Treating the tool as an extension of the person...more cyborg, less automaton. I think that's a better mental model for how to implement AI in a way that drastically reduces the likelihood of causing harm or reducing quality. Unfortunately, most AI solutions, products, implementations, etc. are just defaulting to trying to completely automate and obviate the human element. I think many companies are going to be in for a rude surprise when going that route (e.g. Klarna).
