Pricing has little to do with the cost of delivering a product or service. It has to do with supply and demand. Anyway, automation doesn't obviate the need for all human roles or intervention. Machines need to be installed, maintained, replaced, and programmed. Even if AI/robotics can assist with some of that, there will still always be "prime mover" humans developing, monitoring, interpreting, and facilitating processes and responding to novel situations or problems which automation cannot address.

I saw those jobs for my field for $60/hr.
I make way more than that I am an expert in my field.
So good luck to getting a ton of junior ppl to train their model.

Religion is based on a fantasy. Their idea of having kids is a fantasy because there is no money behind it. The jews were poor and rules by the Romans at the time of Christ. Christianity is a religion for people without power. Thats why Charlie Kirk always spoke from the old testament about himself and the new testament for others. All fundamentalist religious societies are more feudal than secular societies.


It’s a programming.

Using myths and stories to inspire and influence.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Power, and the Word was Power.

God = Power

I often think about this quote:
"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood and divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Doctors/nurses routinely are responsible for around 600,000 to 750,000 deaths a year in the USA alone. Imagine the real number if they admit to that many.

Medical errors is the #1 cause of death in the USA.

It's good to always re-verify medical info by docs.


Those studies are very much disputed and AI is still frequently quite wrong on medical info

Sounds like you're hallucinating. You might want to talk to your doctor about that.


They are referring to the hallucination problem with AI. Google it.

Not really. 3 months ago you could ask ChatGPT how many oceans are in Maine and it'd spit out 6000 or something ridiculous. Anyone relying on AI is an idiot.

These professions require a license to practice and the professional liability insurance rates are high. Plus, one can lose the license with shoddy, unethical work.
What client will want AI to represent them in high stakes negotiations?


In some of these fields there won't 100% replacement but will be able to be need a handful of the original staff needed. Lawyers would be an excellent example. ChatGPT is pretty good at medical advice, you should try it.
