Musk says people won't need to work in future because of AI

Oddly enough, I think Musk is more or less correct about AI, but it is pretty daft in many other technically related areas.

Despite his station and alleged autism, he is an artistic personality type.

On the specific problem of mass unemployment, it is hard to say where it would go. If unemployed people still have needs that aren't being met by the matrix, then they will start employing each other to meet those needs

As a Bid Writer I can see AI taking my job in a few years. A mate of mine who works in recruitment says the same.

Iirc, Elon changed his tune on this a couple of years ago.

His updated view was that properly driver-less cars would require the bulk of general AI problem to be solved.

I think this is a more realistic view than most. In my view, we will have 'robot' doctors and lawyers before we have cars that will take you home while you are asleep

I don't want AI developed, particularly. I would just like current systems to work better.
If AI meant no-one has to work, does that mean the hospital waiting list would no longer exist? It's nonsense!

Some might scoff at this notion, but i feel it hints at something very deep.

Humans have always up 'til now told their own story and have done what they did in that story because they weren't acting a role in a recreation.

In fact humans define reality as a struggle against things that there is no option to avoid. If the option to avoid exists, is this is the end of human reality?

I agree with this. In particular I think lawyers are very easily replaced by AI bots. The prerequisite for being a good lawyer is a very good memory of vast amounts of case law and this is exactly what an AI bot has - it has the whole internet at its disposal. Also the algorithms to process the data would be relatively simple. Great intelligence is NOT required. Self drive cars will be very difficult, especially with our road network.

The thing about AI (IMO) is that it has access to vast amounts of data (i.e. a very good memory) and it is very good at some things. One thing it's good at is pattern recognition. So it seems to be very good at music for example. If you want a piece of music written in the style of Mozart you can give it a selection of music written by him and it can analyse patterns and produce similar stuff - even though the people who wrote the programs it uses know nothing about Mozart or even music.

But I tend to think that AI a bit like getting a dog to sniff out people who have Covid. Dogs have a very highly developed sense of smell but they obviously have no knowledge of Covid. But what you can do is present the dog with various people who have Covid and various who don't and reward the dog for picking those with Covid. But we have no idea what the dog has detected. Just like the music, we can get an answer from the AI but we're none the wiser as to what makes Mozart sound like Mozart. The thing is that I don't think this makes the dog intelligent. And I've yet to see any examples of AI that indicate actual intelligence. Or maybe I'm just too stupid to understand it. 

 

Remember … AI was conceived, designed and funded by a ruling elite of non-Humanists whose interest is first to make most of Humanity redundant, imprisoned and then euthanised.

They are engineering many ways to do that genocide now … wars(nuclear and other), pestilence, sanctions inflation creating homelessness, chemical spraying, water shortage, water glut(floods - exacerbated by secret geo-weathering programmes since WW2?)), essential drug shortages + starvation, … and exploiting atmosphere damage (thru rainforest destruction) which will collectively exacerbate solar flare/ electro-magnetic storm vulnerability … which will periodically break AI … supporting an increasingly ‘disabled’ population … locked down in 15 min cities.

In the near future … your mobile phone breaking may stop you buying food for your family to eat.
