  The difference is that the actual revolutions like that generally use technology that actually works.

    Have you ever used AI tools? What kinds of things are you expecting it to do? It can do a lot of minor tasks well.

  Yeah. Which means, replacing all workers with AI will not work out well. A wrench alone can’t fix your plumbing.

    It can definitely replace some jobs with minimal oversight.

  Yeah, except that ai is almost 40% wrong, yet it pretends to know everything and sounds very convincing. It will never tell you “i don’t know” or “that’s a bad idea, don’t do that” like a real person or friend would do but instead encourages your with everything. Still, app developers sell ai chat bots as “virtual friends” to insecure people.

    Of course any implementation will need oversight, but it can do many things as good or better than a human.

  But AI can be inaccurate, which is a problem when trying to teach people things

    For sure. You don’t just let it run the show. Nobody is saying there won’t be oversight.

  “the genie” lmfao

  if i knew you fucking people were going to do another round of pretending AI was real, i would have taken up sky diving in 2012

  • venusaur@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    “you fucking people” wow. So aggressive. Parachute-less skydiving was probably a good idea.

      yeah i aggressively dislike people who believe in genies and it makes me want to kms because you never go away, is that a problem?

        Too many bots on social media these days. Doesn’t understand simple idioms. I guess I was wrong about AI. It is reallllly stupid doo doo dumb.
