It’s a bad metaphor. Tractors are actually useful, AI is garbage.
Interesting and probably true

Just because you might not understand it or see any viable use-case doesn’t make it garbage. Maybe to you. I like LLMs and use different ones for different needs, knowing their limitation.

Your mom told you Soylent Green was people, but it was really horses.

Reminds me of a visit to amazon where there were a ton of people packaging and labeling stuff into boxes and then into the robots. At the end of the tour we got to see a machine that eats a roll of cardboard and creates boxes on the fly for objects that are flowing into the machine from another conveyor. So the next phase will be people just taking stuff out of the truck and putting it on a conveyor.

There’s an almost unlimited amount of work to do. The elderly/children to care for, the art to be made, the research to be done, etc. Tractors freed up a hive amount of the world population to work on other things, current technology does the same.
The problem is that humans have made a system of tightly controlling what work gets valued, how much it gets paid, what should be done and gatekeeping qualifications/resources to be allowed to do things.

Modern horses usually have a short rough life and they are sent to the sausage factory from slightest join ache. Luckiest end up in some petting farm.

Where do you even get that from? Most horses are pampered lawn ornaments.

It is true already. Washing machines, dishwashers, tractors, lifts, escalators, cars, computers, cnc, power tools, cranes, etc. They make our life much more relaxed.

Do you prefer eternal stagnacy just to keep unskilled jobs? No judgment towards “unskilled” but some jobs just die out and create new jobs. The horse’s carts might be gone, but we have cars now with millions of diverse jobs plus legwork. I prefer a car over a horse-ride. And a house over a hut. And mobile phones over smoke-signals or pidgeons.

We gave up “all-flat-terrain”, carbon neutral, semi-self driving things and got “this road is not paved so I’ll shake you so much that your baby will die”, “created new jobs: climate disaster control”, “just currently getting some self-driving capabilities”.
I’m half-joking of course, cars are great for long distance travel but you could argue humanity would be far better (apart from GDP) if we have no roads in the cities.
