2/3rds of Americans don’t know what AI is or the limitations of LLMs.
They have one conversation with ChatGPT, are convinced it’s as smart as a person, and have no idea how it works.
AI/automation could replace almost every job- but at a higher cost and a lower accuracy. Everyone is asking why AI is automating creative jobs an not manual labor. Automation COULD replace manual labor, it just costs more. Right now we are looking into which jobs are cost effective to replace with llms, which is why there is such investigation into copyright abuse. If you can’t train AI without huge copyright payments, llms might cost more than just employing people to do the mind numming jobs that the llms could replace.
On another note two thirds of people don’t actually know what ai is capable of
“2/3rds of Americans don’t understand AI”
Remember when all the “burger flippers” got replaced in 2012 with the introduction of this robot?: https://www.businessinsider.com/burger-robot-could-revolutionize-fast-food-industry-2012-11
Much to the chagrin of execs, automation is not that straightforward. Then again, I bet CEOs would be more easily replaced with AI than a lot of these “no/low skill” jobs, but the AI would have to be tuned to spew even more bullshit than it is currently capable of.
No, but I do remember the advent of online ordering reducing the staff needed to answer phones and take orders at the counter at the pizza place I worked at.
And now those same restaurants don’t even staff drivers anymore, they outsource to door dash (who are now getting paid less, with less protections)
Let’s not pretend that technology improvements can’t cause cascading changes in an industry.
Quick, everybody say AI could do their job so that the corporate airheads invest a bunch of money in AI, get sad when it doesn’t deliver, and then become super pessimistic about AI
They’d be pulling that money out of our wages. They certainly aren’t going to give the C level execs a pay cut, never mind less of a pay raise or bonus.
This would be tight if we weren’t all beholden to Mammon and his devout.
I love this sentence ❤️
Had chatgpt poem it up:
In the shadowed halls of gold and greed, Where Mammon reigns, his creed they heed, A whisper winds, a somber song, Of hearts lost to the worldly throng.
Beholden to Mammon and his devout, Souls bartered in a faithless rout, Chained to desires, ever unfulfilled, In halls of opulence, unjustly built.
Their eyes, like hollow stars, gleam bright, Yet void of warmth, devoid of light, For in their quest for fleeting gain, They’ve traded joy for endless pain.
The nightingale, she weeps in woe, For those who wander, lost below, In labyrinths of gold they roam, Yet farther still from heart and home.
And I, a ghost among these halls, Echo Poe’s lament, his somber calls, For in this realm where shadows play, The soul’s true worth is cast away.
So heed this tale, this mournful verse, Lest you become Mammon’s curse, For wealth unbound by love or grace, Leads but to a darkened place.
And there, in silence, you might find, The truest wealth – a peaceful mind, Unchained from Mammon, finally free, To embrace life’s deeper mystery.
In the House of the Lord we devout our lives.
Each narrow fiscal year brings new tithes.
My family is hungry, my daughters are cold.
Clasped hands pray above an idol of gold.We pray for prosperity, of which we were not blessed.
This condition is reserved for those who are His best.
“All are made to toil”, the priest assures me yet.
The Lord requires extravagence, and I gave at His behest.Fine silks, linens, and furs given freely to confer
our love for Him is beyond superb.
His steps bound over us, unrequited and unperturbed.In the House of the Lord we devout our lives.
Souls transmute to gold, a baby’s monetized cry. Helpless towards each other, under His watchful eye.
Mammon’s grip grows as our humanity dies.
I’m actively looking for opportunities to use AI to replace the work I do, and not finding many effective ones so far. Sure it can write some crappy code for me, but writing code comes after the hard part, which is identifying the problem and how it could be solved with tech. Novel problems need novel solutions and an LLM can’t generate those.
Or the fear of AI advancement will force everyone to believe that they can work for far less than they are now.
AI will have a place in our future but for the foreseeable future, we’ll still need people to do certain things and think of certain things. AI will also be a tool for the wealthy elite and corporations to better manage and manipulate people and forcing everyone to do more for less.
AI is basically the new gunpowder technology … whoever has it and uses it to their best advantage gets to rule the world. And like with the invention of gunpowder, there’s going to be a whole mess of people everywhere that will suffer and die while a small group of people try to figure out how to become the next momentary God King of the world.
Meaning 1/3 of Americans don’t realize that AI could replace them.

It’ll never happen. AI will know to switch to metric and timestamp things using the correct format.

Actually even a monkey could do it
