I've run this thought experiment a number of times with different sections of my (relatively) diverse friend circle. I ask them a version of this question on repeat: "what if AI automates X aspect of your work?", and the final answer (either because of frustration with the loopy nature of the question or a genuine stopping point) arrives somewhere along the lines of "my judgement," "my knack," "my embodied nature," or "my quality of decision making."
I think the core still leads back to human agency and the ability to consider aspects that wouldn't fit into an LLMs limited context window or be able to be vectorized into a DB, including ultra-long-term consequences (especially those with great thinking abilities).
I still happen to think that AI/LLMs will never be able to "fully" replace humans, because the evolutionary process that led to our cognitive abilities and the way we train LLMs are vastly different thanks to different pressures, but maybe that's just me defending the last bastions of our collective humanity as a human; I don't know what else to root for.
- asdfman123 2mo agoRight now we're all training AI models on our taste. All of our chat logs are being uploaded, and the AI companies are training the models on them to get them right the first time. It will soon no longer require taste. Or at the very least be 95% of the way there on the first run.
- KerrAvon 2mo agoThis was the basic theory behind Tesla eventually being able to stop killing Tesla drivers with FSD. It has not worked out.

- DiscourseFan 2mo agoGoogle also uses ML to train the Waymos, they just have better sensory capabilities. Lidar is much closer to how the human eye functions (inverted, I suppose) than cameras are anyway. But FSD is still really cool, you just have to make sure you don't take your hands off the wheel!
- red75prime 2mo agoI think it's obvious that repeatedly noting that the absolute perfection isn't achieved yet is an absolutely useless way of tracking progress. No? BTW, when was the last time Tesla driver died due to FSD fault?
- satvikpendem 2mo agoIt has actually, FSD is very good and the latest iteration is end to end now for many trips.
- sublinear 2mo agoJudgment was all there ever was to begin with. It's why it's what God himself does, although I'd be curious if there are deities that don't involve judgment in some form. Anyway, I completely agree and the past several years have been an absurd journey into borderline psychosis with some people.
- bandofthehawk 2mo ago> somewhere along the lines of "my judgement," "my knack," "my embodied nature," or "my quality of decision making." Do your friends actually believe that AI can't automate these parts of their work? I think my answer would be that I'll just have to learn to do something else. > I still happen to think that AI/LLMs will never be able to "fully" replace humans Do you mean replace humans completely or just replace all the tasks humans don't want to do? I would hope that humans will still have a reason to live even if all the work is done by computers, and that the computers wouldn't intentionally wipe us all out.
