[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took a course in machine learning in 2003. We used a very old programming language called common lisp and for the final project we had to build an email spam detector using a sample of 10,000 emails.

I remember this very well our professor told us at that time that soon we will have microprocessors that will allow us to run models much faster regardless of the size of the data. Our professor told us when that time comes corporations would race to reduce their workforce with AI even if imperfect at first because of the cost savings. 21 years later was out professor correct?

He's wrong. Data is growing faster than Moore's law. Even with AI, the training is bounded by available computation resources. That was true in 2003 and true today.

The current crop of AI doesn't reason. Any job that requires reasoning or creativity is safe. For example, why can't you ask AI to just figure out the next "big app" and then tell it to write the app?[/quote].
 
You can certainly narrow the path to get to reasoning, and make it more responsive.  Bots and Ai will be/ are what is finding, compiling, analyze and distributing the data. If you think there is a 22 year ramp lag in technology as there was 22 years ago you a crazy.  And who cares if data is growing faster than Moore's law, the speed at which an infinite number of "things" that can be done with that data in nano seconds is growing faster than the data is becoming available.[/quote]
