Thus demonstrating the crux of the issue.

I was just looking for a name of a historical figure associated with the Declaration of Independence but not involved in the writing of it. Elizabeth Powel. Once I knew the name, I went through the ai to see how fast they’d get it. Duck.ai confidently gave me 9 different names, including people who were born on 1776 or soon thereafter and could not have been historically involved in any of it. I even said not married to any of the writers and kept getting Abagail Adams and the journalist, Goddard. It was continually distracted by “prominent woman” and would give Elizabeth Cady Stanton instead. Twice.

Finally, I gave the ai a portrait. It took the ai three tries to get the name from the portrait, and the portrait is the most used one under the images tab.

It was very sad. I strongly encourage everyone to test the ai. Easy to grab wikis that would be top of the search anyway are making the ai look good.

If you have a job that you can be confidently wrong without any self awareness after the fact, then yeah I guess.

But I can’t think of many jobs like that except something that is mostly just politics.

And over the next 50 years it will take 485 million jobs, and the unemployment rate will be 235%.

funny... i expected IT workers to be in that list but we're not. AI couldn't do my job but it could be my boss and that frightens me.

Knowing the way our country is going I would expect in the end workers will have to pay an AI tax on their income and most workers will start working 50 hours a week.

I.e., made up on the spot.

Well my AI says it will take 96 or 98 million jobs, depending on what you want it say and only for $5,000.

I wouldn't put it entirely outside the realm of possibility, but I think that that's probably unlikely.

The entire US only has about 161 million people working at the moment. In order for a 97 million shift to happen, you'd have to manage to transition most human-done work in the US to machines, using one particular technology, in 10 years.

Is that technically possible? I mean, theoretically.

I'm pretty sure that to do something like that, you'd need AGI. Then you'd need to build systems that leveraged it. Then you'd need to get it deployed.

What we have today is most-certainly not AGI. And I suspect that we're still some ways from developing AGI. So we aren't even at Step 1 on that three-part process, and I would not at all be surprised if AGI is a gradual development process, rather than a "Eureka" moment.

and then 115 million will be needed to unwind the half-assed implementation and inevitable damage.

The Senate will decide its fate.
