The nature of AI is that it can do any role.

- keiferski 5mo agoYeah, and these are niche things that aren't going to replace the professions of cook or ship captain for 99.99% of scenarios. People paying for a high-end meal especially want a trained chef making their meals, not a robot. And the vast majority of restaurants don't have the resources to install an AI robot in the first place. For sea captains, I'd say it's highly likely that even automated ships will have captains on board for a very long time. In general it's like a lot of these "AI predictions": people making claims don't actually understand anything about the industries they're supposedly going to replace. Just because it can do something in an isolated scenario doesn't mean that it's economically viable as a whole.
