The Painful Truth about AI & Robotics (www.rethinkx.com)

The painful truth is that AI and robots will take our jobs. At the same time, the rise of AI and robots itself will create new jobs. But AI and robots will take those jobs too.

By 2045, there will be virtually nothing a human can do that a machine cannot do better for a tiny fraction of the cost. And this will still prove true (thank goodness) even if individual machines such as humanoid robots aren’t each empowered with fully sapient artificial general intelligence.

This seems overly optimistic. One thing current algorithms can’t do is adapt to previously unknown situations. Yeah, they can potentially model out a solution if they have enough known factors, but they don’t currently have true problem solving capabilities.

Can that change? Absolutely. But the closest we’ve come to is LLMs which essentially download the entirety of the internet to see what the “most average response” would be to any given situation. But give it something it’s truly never seen before and you get pure gibberish that sounds convincing. And even then it’s just bad.
