[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we’ve never had a technology like AI that replaces, or makes obsolete, human reasoning. We may have to get used to the world from WALL·E. A bunch of dudes drinking meat in a cup in flying chairs.

More jobs to fix the robots? Bro, robots will fix robots. Read up on Boston Robotics and Tesla stuff coming soon. We simply aren’t ready for what’s coming.[/quote]

There is no such thing as “artificial intelligence.”  It is a very clever marketing trick to call it AI because you have been primed by movies like WALL E to think that AI is possible.

LLMs like ChatGPT are more accurately called statistical language models, a much less sexy term that doesn’t inspire breathless coverage or debate.  All of the tools you have been reading about are based on pattern recognition, not actual abstract thinking or reasoning.  You have basically been manipulated by a marketing campaign.[/quote]

Enough with semantic bullsht. You understood when I wrote. No one is being manipulated by slick marketing. The impacts of AI in the workplace are being felt and these jobs are not being replaced. And soon robotics will introduce additional labor shortage challenges. What are you scared of to admit that?[/quote]

It’s not semantics.  Intelligence is a word with an actual definition and “AI” does not meet it.  In this case definitions are very important.

I actually use AI enthusiastically in my job and come up with use cases all the time.  But it’s not “intelligent.”  It’s a wonderful tool, the same way computers and word processors and online databases and cell phones are tools.  It can’t actually do much right on its own and that’s ok- I get a lot out of this tool and am finding ways to do my job better.  But unless your job involves no skills whatsoever, it can’t replace you.[/quote]

One thing I see on here and on Reddit is people talking confidently out of their azzes: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/26/mit-study-finds-ai-can-already-replace-11point7percent-of-us-workforce.html

That’s just another example. I’m no Luddite, but can see that this tech, which essentially improves daily, will displace millions of jobs and potentially our entire current way of life for something new. You’re over here basically putting your head in the sand, but have no clue.[/quote]
