The brutal part: they made the senior writers spend their final 6 weeks "knowledge transferring" to the AI system
I’ve said this for decades: The future is transfer learning from humans to machines until the point where bootstrapping new behaviors doesn’t need a human
- bombashell 7mo agoInteresting perspective, I honestly had not thought about it this way. I work on problems around knowledge transfer but always from the angle of people leaving or transitioning roles where the goal is to preserve knowledge so it does not get lost. Framing it as people effectively training the system that might replace them feels pretty brutal.
- AndrewKemendo 7mo agoIt’s literally how information transfer happens between humans and machines forever - how do you think factory automation works? The deming system was literally timing every human task and then replacing them mechanically one at a time See one, do one, teach one has been standard in bootstrapping behavior learning in advanced mammals since the early 20th century Why would it not be applied to non human systems that are capable of replicating it
- daheza 7mo agoThis is so interesting. My work is having us do a AI hackathon where we have to attempt to do our daily job only using AI tooling. No writing any code yourself, no manual input besides to the agents. I guess I should prepare myself for the inevitable conclusion of this.
