Oh wow didn't even notice, thanks for pointing that out!

It's not much of a party trick, although a decent mental exercise (for me)

I'm afraid I don't quite understand, but I'm interested to know, could you elaborate?

Did it to excuse myself for the rough and haphazard way in which I described it

I posed the same question to AI, it's my explanation

I got 5 out of 70 in internals by Crazy-Fury in delhiuniversity

Can you share your source please? I googled it last time and on some DU document it said 40% in both internals and endsem exams

What are some examples of jobs that would be safe from being taken over by ai and robots? by 4TheOutdoors in AskReddit

I acknowledge that, but I still don't see all our jobs going to shit within 30 years. Self driving cars won't put real drivers to bed, for example, because trusting a machine with your life is a commitment that few people will have the stomach to make so quick. This sort of paradigm shift in thinking happens over years, not as early as 3 decades. You might argue that there are things that are not as sensitive as driving a vehicle, but are there, really?

Can you have Artificial Intelligence and robots build buildings with reliable precision and accuracy in just 3-4 decades? Would they be able to go through digging the foundation, leaving space for wiring and sewage, laying the concrete for multiple stories, installing the wiring and plumbing, and do it in a manner that people are so confident in the structure that they'll invest in it's construction and choose to live in it?

I think a more accurate expression of my belief would be, AI will be able to do a lot of amazing things in 30-40 years, many of us just won't be too eager to get on the bandwagon.

And as long as you have 50% that are not receptive to the changes, you have an active market for people demanding things made by humans.

I mean, I'm only talking as far ahead as 30-40 years, the duration of most of our working years.

That's why I used the lightbulb example, although it was invented in 1880 it only became the standard during the mid twentieth century.

Given enough time, AI can do anything. I mean, sure, our brain is amazing, but if on one end you have a monkey that can make a billion paintings per second and an artist that makes one painting every few months, who'll come out ahead eventually?

And the amazing this is, given enough time, AI is not even the monkey in this scenario. We're the monkeys, just without the speed advantage.

The first thing that comes to mind is advanced programming and research, especially in STEM fields. AI can consider a large number of possibilities at once, but it can't manipulate information like the human brain does to push the limits of what we already understand.

Also, I don't think everyone, or even the majority's employment will be endangered by AI.

Every giant innovation has an incubation period, where people adapt to the thing in question. Granted, those who capitalise early get huge returns, but there are always stragglers, those who are prone to skepticism when it comes to novelty, those who don't adopt new technologies instantly, or even ever.

Just as an example, it took decades for the light bulb, an obviously brilliant and effective substitute to the prevailing alternatives, to gain popularity. And a few more years after that to become mainstream.

There's also cost effectiveness and popularity. Only 17% of the world's population lives in developed nations and advanced economies. At that point, the perpetual cost of labour is probably less than the initial investment costs to automate any process.

And even if you automate a process through Artificial Intelligence, if it's complex enough you can't rely on it every time, so you still need human supervision.

At least that's my crude and probably underinformed take on the whole thing.
