@@Wretchedrenegade I can see it happening simply because companies believe it can happen, and because it's cheaper. I think they'll be disappointed for many use cases, but it'll take a really biblical screw up for people to row back
Wonderful, when I'm without food for days, I will ask my personal AI assistant, I figure it will tell me how to find the next huntable human in pleasent, helpful tones, I can not wait.
Too conservative. The majority of businesses will be AI first (human in the loop) within 3-5 years. I am already implementing this for businesses across the board. Call centers will go first (with the advent of advanced RAG and reasoning techniques). Knowledge industries next, and robots will begin adding concierge servers to big box stores and restaurants a bit later. I can’t even imagine why your estimates would be this conservative given what is plainly obvious in current AI capabilities and current efforts underway across all industries to apply these technologies on the front line.
I'm inclined to believe the takeover will be more rapid too (although perhaps not as fast as you say); maybe the only thing that will slow it down is legislation protecting human lobs
@@h-di4qd Totally agree. I think it comes down to what sectors of the economy will be affected on what timescale. Being embedded int he corporate world and seeing so much automation happening now, from data entry to help desk, and experimenting with anti-hallucination techniques, I am seeing a massive amount of low level knowledge industry workers at risk. This would be customer support type workers at first, and much of that has been offshored. I worry about the affect it will have on those economies when we outsource those jobs to AI instead of third world companies, but the second and third tier knowledge workers in first world countries should be safe for a while if current trajectories hold. However, that is a big IF, because the likelihood that we have peaked seems low. It is hard to resist the urge to believe we will all wake up one day soon and the entire equation will have changed. I don't mean AGI, just more trustworthy "agent" type bots, and by extension, physical robots that can do warehouse jobs. Certainly, nobody can say for now, but on the front lines I am seeing firsthand many low level jobs being successfully replaced.
