The robot apocalypse hasn't happened yet, but still I can't escape the feeling that something has gone horribly wrong...

@royaards Very poignant.

It would take the edge off the comment, but you could probably get away with a sign painter outside battling the elements to work on a shopfront. It could even be for a so-called-AI company!

Like doing it the wrong way around, you mean?

@royaards the sad reality hits hard

Bender took the good jobs.

@royaards we are entering the transition economy, it's a system where AI hasn't yet taken all jobs but it has completely wiped out all office related work, within the next decade robotics will have caught up and then the manual labor jobs will start to go, around that time is when we will see a CBDC stipend. But along the way to that we could see wage growth in many manual labor and skilled trades, being a blue collar worker in the next 5 years will be like being a finance grad in the 90s.

@royaards the future of orange economy?

@royaards

This is almost correct. The part where the bots produce seemingly good art and output is wrong, tho.

This is the saddest part.

If we were in a society where we, as humans, would have been *advantageously* replaced by machines, I would see the tragedy, but I would personally also see and appreciate the rationale.

But the bots are producing slop that is worse than the most nauseating output from the most insipid, unscrupulous, most prolific greed driven plagiarist on steroids...

Yep! That looks like where we're headed 🤬

@royaards The problem is that most artificial intelligence research and development has been working top-down instead of bottom-up so far. We have cracked most of the things that seem like hard intellectual problems to us humans, like playing chess or painting pictures or solving protein folding, but AI still can't do the things any trained rat can do. It's as if we were building a house starting at the roof.

deep470@norden.social

@LordCaramac @royaards this! And: while there are toilet-cleaning and brick-laying robots available now (I won't call it AI powered because opencv with pattern recognition should be enough for this), they're expensive and it's still cheaper to exploit humans for those jobs. Yay capitalism \o/

I think you're probably right.

csgraves@turtleisland.social

@royaards is the image for this AI slop as well, or just someone who really likes Bender Bending Rodriguez?

csgraves@turtleisland.social

@royaards studies it won’t come, because robots have no “soul” or whatever you want to call it. Robots cannot create art, it is impossible.

malcirum@mastodon.social

@royaards Nah AI and Robots will eventualy replacve also the rest . And we will be happy when we dont end up as soylent green for the rich

aschniedermann@fediscience.org

@Gooberific @royaards At least they chose Bender for the cartoon! If I have to be replaced by a robot, I'd be fine with being it Bender.
