I heard that there would be a new Great Depression.
I’ve also heard a lot of different theories, and one of them interested me: after the bursting of the bubble, AI will not disappear anywhere, is it in vain that so many data centers were built? AI will be embedded everywhere, people won’t even be able to test how it works, “it works somehow, great!” because all human workers will be fired, not at once, of course, but gradually, In a few years, about 2-7 years to be exact(depending on the industry). And because of this, AI systems will begin to get out of control, this will cause incorrect diagnoses, failures in the banking system, arresting or killing innocent people by drones, and so on.
The reason I’ve explained this so poorly is because, in the first place, the topic of AI and the debate around it is terribly infuriating to me, and it’s obvious that the harm from AI won’t be able to compensate for the little benefit it will bring. Secondly, I use a translator, so my text may seem crooked, unnatural, or silly.
The problem with industrial robots is they really need scale. They’re not practical or useful for anything but very large manufacturing.
If humanoid robots become a thing, they promise to automate a lot of smaller scale manual work
I believe you overestimate modern robots a bit. They are still expensive, they still require maintenance, and they still cannot reliably and efficiently deal with new situations based on incomplete instructions.
Oh I totally agree. They are not very useful and even if they were there is also not a market/customer base.
But Boston Dynamics Optimus is getting pretty decent. There are claims that even at an expected price of $200k, over its lifetime that is cheaper than human menial labor. It can swap out its own battery, so tHere’s at least one useful skill
The goal of Tesla-bot is to hit $20k. While that doesn’t seem likely, even double that price could be affordable for small offices …… if it could do stuff.
