ai as in AI: aircraft auto-landing and pitch levelling. near-boundary ship navigation. train/ freight logistics. protein folding. gene mapping.

ai as in LLM/ PISS: hmmm... downlevel legalese to collegiate-, 6th-grade-, or even street-level prose. do funny abridged shorts. imo, training-wheels to some shakespearean writing is appreciated.

Reform tax law and get rid of 90% of the IRS. Computers could do all that shit if we simplified the system. Will never happen, though.

Most other countries don't make you do the math and then guess how much you owe, and give you jail time if you guess incorrectly.

i think i read some posts like hackernews that they already use AI as a therapist. I have good conversations with chatgpt when i asked for some personal advise. I haven't tried talking to a real therapist yet but i can see AI being used for this purpose. The services may still be provided by big companies or we can host it ourselves but it could be cheaper (hopefully) compared to paying a real person.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not against real physicians in this field, but some people just can't afford mental healthcare when they need it.

None, as long as society uses labor as a means to secure basic necessities. Shifting that towards some infinitely-scalable capital equipment owned by entities kinda fucks the whole system, don't it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Scammers. They are so stupid. AI is much more convincing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Scam detection would be more helpful

Jobs that are done in environments that are dangerous for humans. Or at least make these jobs safer for humans.

I’m not sure which jobs this will entail, but if a technology is able to reduce dead people on the job I think it’s a good thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

None. Maybe some middle management, but even then, until AI fixes the hallucinations for good, in useless

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I've met a few human middle managers who regularly hallucinated, when humans do it we call it "lying" though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

None. Sorry just my opinion.

Look at the unemployment numbers. Tell me it's a good idea to have less jobs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

CEO, politician... I guess that's it. Except I don't actually want an AI making our laws for us. That would be a catastrophe.

Requirements revision review. It is the most mind-numbing part of my job and fortunately only a small portion of it.

A word changes, even just punctuation changes, can change the meaning drastically. And finding that change within a hundred page document is a task humans just plain suck at. Get a computer to compare revision A to revision B, highlight the changes, then pass it on to the human to interpret the change and decide what to do from there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Comparing version A to version B and highlighting the changes is already something software can do, so I hope that you're already aware of this. But if you're not, just know that it's out there! Lol

(UK) Government.

It could not be any worse than the most-obvious self-serving pocket-liners of this century.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

no way you said this, yeah let's allow robots to rule over us. We totally don't have a billion movies and books to show why that is a bad idea

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

From your style of writing, you're in your teens, AI suggests. Later you may come to understand irony. Although I confess that I wrote not completely tongue-in-cheek.

You may also understand, that there are 650 elected MPs in parliament. Only a small handful are in the executive Government. The rest of the MPs or junior ministers are either cajoled by past indiscretions, a K, blackmail or thin majorities, to follow party line or are part of His Majesty's loyal opposition(s). There is room for change in the former, occasionally the trough (or whip) isn't enticing enough, and the role of HM Opposition is .. well .. opposition.

You may not realised that continuous raids on personal pensions by successive governments, and starving pensioners - of which I am not one - over the winter is a "bad thing". It is.

You may have wanted to own a home one day; you're probably going to be disappointed. I could go on but your friends who are somewhat older than you are probably already saying these things to you. Highest tax burden in living memory ..

Meanwhile, the pigs have their snouts firmly in the trough from way before Boris and Starmer all the way through.

The status quo isn't working. Something has to change.

I really hope that when you reach your twenties or thirties things really have changed, by whatever means necessary.

My first language isn't english sorry if my writing is not on par with yours. But no i didn't know this was ironic as some people in this thread seemed to be serious about it. I do understand there are problems with how things are now but AI wouldn't fix much, maybe it would help for a short while but then it would all go up in pieces.

'murica checking in.

Yeah fuck it: government. Hard to imagine it doing a worse job than we are.

Groundskeeping.

Realistically, a lot of the stock photo industry. If a few people can generate pictures on demand, you won't really need anyone doing sets, lights, wardrobe, etc for a series of generic photos .

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Currently very few jobs should be replaced with AI. But many jobs should be augmented with AI. Human-in-the-loop AI amplify the finate resource of smart humans.
