A nightmare
Damn, you’d think that with such advanced technology, they could just automate that job and have the workers move to doing something that isn’t a dehumanizing slog.

No mention of the basic yet?
Camera + software = cheap;
Robot (hardware) = expensive
roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Humans are disposable, robots are expensive and require more expensive humans to maintain.

Humans are very expensive. They are just a highly subsidized resource for capital to exploit.

I hate to tell you this but that’s not how it works. The people who used to paint cars as they come off the production line aren’t creating interesting patterns for automation to paint on a car. There are just no production car painters anymore. Automating a job away doesn’t free the human up to actualize their life goals, it eliminates their income and makes their lives more precarious.

Under capitalism

This. Automation doesn’t improve the lives of the workers. It improves the wealth of the owners.

Robot cost money for maintenance, fuel, and upgrades. Humans take care of all of that themselves and can be made to work harder (upgrade performance) without expensive software, just cheap abuse.

Robots are expensive to buy, program, and set up. Energy cost and maintenance is cheap.

Data recorded for training
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 17 hours ago
Most of my life, I’ve had people scrutinizing me and believing my emotions to be inauthentic because I didn’t contort my face in the precise manner they expect of people feeling a particular emotion.
Given that AI is well documented to reproduce existing biases found in the training data, I’m betting that this is extra assholish to autistic people.

On the other hand, I want this app so I can just read what people are trying to say with subtle facial expressions. Ah yes, head tilted down with left eyebrow raised: they want me to move aside!

Not how it works once the robot police is deployed.

And of course it’s never to adjust their policies so that every employee feels better and does better, it’s just to find out how to bitch at literally everyone for being human.

Before we get robots taking over all our jobs we’ll have AI detection algorithms to make sure we work like robots.

Even without recording every move the amount of monitoring in factories can be quite substantial. I’ve seen a demo of an AI application of a German car manufacturer where a number of specialized knowledge bots (basically LLMs with specialized RAG for different databases) started from a car with a problem and then correlated the car serial with the production facility, the date, the shift working at the time of production of the car and the part and then some historical data and basically gave the result “nightshift crew 6 made a mistake and their quality isn’t as good as the other crews” I’m pretty sure if Germany wouldn’t have such a focus on personal data privacy the system could’ve said who exactly is at fault.
Also even without AI some jobs just have insane monitoring, I believe call centers are some of the worst.

The amount of traceability in auto plants regarding what was put onto a vehicle would surprise a lot of folks. The capability to do this greatly predates AI and I’m not really sure what AI would add in the example you cited. Nearly any OE part with a barcode can be tied back to the vehicle it was originally installed on, what shift installed it, which other vehicles have a similar lot of parts, etc. Correlating this information with other basic record keeping, like which station installs the part and who was working at that time, makes it very easy to unearth trends. Plants have quality incentives, so there’s a strong motivation to identify areas for improvement.
In addition to quality, it turns out the small additional cost of all this data capture and storage quickly pays for itself in the case of a spill. Being able to say “this specific set of vehicles” can save a ton of money. That’s part of the reason why very small and targeted recalls have been becoming more common.
affenlehrer@feddit.org 1 day ago
You’re absolutely right and I’m aware that the traceability was already a given. The collected data also was already there and has been for years.
The AI in this case added basically a simple “human language” interface and some automation. The multi agent approach was basically a “simple” way to integrate multiple systems. You could’ve done the same before but with more manual steps or fully automated but then more rigid and less flexible. E.g. with this system you could ask follow up questions etc.

amazon does this, even at thier smaller prime warehouses, they will know the moment you accidentally forgot to check for 1 moldy item.

It’s more likely that AI will become a middle, or upper manager than a floor worker.
Humans are still very cheap to work with, especially if you gut worker protections
