Topic: AI will put an end to work, says Elon Musk - page 13. (Read 1439 times)

The article was interesting but they are using lots of smoke and mirrors.

There was a remake of battlestar galatica around 2004. In it there are ai robots that appear to be human in everyway. I do not think we will get there more likely we will die before that.

In this respect, I agree with freedomgo:


To begin with, if what someone tells you coincides with their economic interest, it should raise suspicions. It is clear that AI is already causing a change in the labour market. At the very least it will make jobs disappear and change the way others are done, but it remains to be seen whether all human labour will disappear or not, and in any case it will not happen overnight. If the change is very radical and many people become unemployed, a universal basic income will eventually be introduced.

imagine a machine that uses the full light spectrum on a camera to see a patients vein and uses a robotic arm that doesnt shake or slip with a 0.001mm precision to put a canular in a vein and then knows precise dosages to pump into the patient

imagine a machine that can see plumbing and and can scan the piping to know what replacement is needed and cut and fit it with robotic arms

when most programs are just a jumble of pre existing commands/functions/api's and engines with a bit of custom code to link it all together. AI can certainly do more in less time to turn code into game storyline

those McD's kiosks may look complicated. but just attach motorised wheels underneath and they can self remove themselves from public space and a replacement drives into its spot when one fails. McD's are already working on robot chefs..

did you know that all them ready meal burgers(90second microwave) are 90% cooked and packaged at a factory are not cooked and packaged by humans. McD's just has to emulate the mass production factories, but on a individual scale where they just cook til finished rather than stop at 90%.. self cleaning toilets is a thing too. as are roomba's and other floor cleaning robots

if you think that the mcD's kiosks, roomba's are hand built by humans.. you might want to look at a electronics factory. machines build those kiosks

That's quite biased coming from him, as he would naturally have a positive view of his project since he owns an AI company. While we can't deny that AI can handle tasks that don't require human involvement, it's unlikely to completely replace people in the workforce. However, we need to embrace these changes and the best approach is not to complain, but to enhance our skills so we aren't left behind in terms of opportunities, because AI is capable of handling some of our tasks.

We appreciate that AI is making our work easier. However, we may not be aware that if we rely entirely on AI, it could replace our jobs. So, even though Elon's statement might be exaggerated, we should think about this chance. We need to find ways to avoid negative consequences when AI becomes more prevalent.

Of course, what Elon Musk said should not be taken lightly, currently many people are competing for a job, but when robots + AI develop further, human competitors will also increase, in the future humans must prepare themselves because several types of jobs will be available replaced by robots and AI, and actually, we cannot stop this, currently what we have to think about is a way out so that humans can still get money to meet their daily needs later, and cryptocurrency is actually the answer, but we have to develop it deeper.

This is not just a normal prediction, but the space CEO really has a point right there; this is already beginning to happen. Robots are already gradually taking over the tech industry with their programming skills, which are little to no different from what humans are doing. They have been said to be even faster at getting work done and detecting problems where there is a perfect solution for them.
 
Most companies are now replacing their customer support agents with AI's. When you call or need any assistance, the AI will be there for you, and they get things done up to some certain level. Unless the issue is now more complicated, they will redirect you to the banking sector, which is doing this right now. They now have a robot that helps them attend to customer complaints through their app or designated number.
 
How long do you think it will take them and the programmer to perfect this AI to the point where they will not be needing a human agent to get issues resolved? Currently, there are fewer people working on most companies support systems, and due to this new AI technology, many might have been transferred to other departments or fired due to their attention no longer being needed.

 I don't think AI can replace every job out there. Nursing for example can't be done by AI imo. How teh fuck AI can fix your pipe? Many jobs will be lost without a doubt but saying that there won't be any work is not realistic. AI can't even finish programming jobs. All we'll have is better (human) software engineers because they can save so much time now. I think people are overrating AI a bit too much. People said the same thing when kiosks invaded McD's but here we are, they still have many human employees taking orders. Kiosks only reduced the lines in these stores. Also these machines are not set and forget. There will always be some people doing their maintenance and they won't work for free too. Machines ain't as cost effective as people think it will.

During an uncommon interview conducted by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the tech billionaire Elon Musk predicted that if AI is not regulated, there will be a time when no job will be needed. This means that AI tools would take over the entire work of men making paid jobs become reductant. He even claimed that humanoid robots might be a perfect friend for one of his sons who is having difficulty in having friends. I have always believed that regardless of how sophisticated these AI tools become, they will never replace humans. But hearing this prediction for an individual who has a full understanding of the AI sector is frightening. Elon Musk owns an AI company, xAI, that is competing with big AI firms like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic.

These comments can increase the fear and anxiety workers always had that these super-computers will replace them in future. What are your thoughts regarding the statement by Elon, do you think we should take him seriously?
