    Right now, everybody is talking about claims that in the near future, all human jobs will be able to be performed by robots and AI. The reason is that humans are far less efficient than those alternatives. There’s no way that an AI would prefer human labor.

      Also if humans were as efficient or even more efficient, there is something to be said about a consistent stable machine and predictable failure modes vs a sketchy volatile human

      this isn’t guaranteed. Look at how long people have been working on autonomous/self-driving cars. Even in the most automated factories in the world, you have humans picking up the general tasks.

      claims about general AI is going to be a whole lot of nothing until there’s suddenly something. that could be tomorrow, it could be a decade, or it could be a thousand years from now; and without general AI, you’re basically going to be restricted to very specialized robots doing highly specialized things. Until general/deep AI is cracked, humans will still very much be desirable in the loop.

      a lot of the buzz around AI right now is because LLMs are “convincing”, but they’re incredibly stupid, and they don’t know that they’re stupid.
