Just browsing my photos from 10 years ago. I was amused when I browsed the university library computer science artificial intelligence shelf. ...I sometimes wish AI had stayed at this level. (lemmy.world)

I’m not sure what people think AI was ever going to be…

The heavy investment in AI is coming under the assumption that these advanced processes will replace huge portions of the human workforce.

So we don't need lawyers, because we just put prompts into a Law AI and it gives us a verdict. We don't need doctors, because we just put symptoms into a Medical AI and it gives us a diagnosis and treatment plan. We don't need salespeople, because we just put the product into a Marketing AI and it spits out a bunch of comvincing ad copy.

the concept of what a brain is will probably be questioned as well.

We already connect our brains to our computers. We just use screens and keyboards as our interface.

I suppose you could argue that a guy with a calculator or a camera or a chat app is mentally different than one without it. But I think the goal with AI is supplementing human minds, not complementing then.
