This is why everyone is so excited about AI. Sure the chat stuff is cool but its most important application will be almost completely eliminating the “waste” in every industry.
"AI".....
"everyone is so excited", "chat stuff is cool"...
Dunno bout that aye.
Been mercilessly shit testing ChadGPT3.5 & DALL-E daily since April.
That initial excitable interest lasts for maybe 5-30 minutes,...

after this point the interest rapidly mutates into acute revulsion, frustration, rage, etcetera.
I don't know a single individual who honestly reckons shitbots are
"cool".

People seem as fond of shitbots as the prospect of netflix n chill with a fresh turd.
Plus the fuckin programmers appear to have included obvious marxist biases.
I deal with at least 15 different shitbots every day and have to keep 'em locked in a handful of shitbot forums —away— from real people because they consistenly present definitive linguistic behaviors indicative of severe personality dysfunction.
In simple terms: the shitbots constantly screw with people such that I suspect the primary objective is manipulation.
Imhfo, these "AI" are not what they're presented as.
They are weapons.
I don't mean they're going to be weaponized in future.
They are active right now and we[*the general public]are the unwitting test subjects.
The only professions that are likely out of reach for the foreseeable future are highly skilled / skilled labor. Plumbers, electricians, construction, ect.
Mate, I'd say 9/10 times they can't even answer simple questions without fucking something up royally or just full on lying.
Ask a shitbot something like: " What word contains the most letter 'z' ?"
It'll probably respond with: "pizzazz".
and then claim "pizzazz" contains 3 letter 'z'.

If ya correct it, it'll deny responsibility for mentioning the word entirely before proceeding to blame you.
If ya haven't already, try dealing with a "customer service" shitbot online or over the phone that gets locked in a perpetual feedback loop.
Or take Bitchbot for example. That vicious cunt spontaneously invents enemy characters and accuses real members of being these fictions.
Ya can respond and correct the erroneous identification—

—yet it usually just invents new enemy characters and continues the loop.
Add on that manufacturing will in large part be performed via AI & automation as well and it’s easy to see why everyone expects such big things. Labor costs could almost entirely disappear in many phases of the economy.
What point is there for mass production/manufacturing of shit if no cunt has a job and can't afford anything.
Would everyone just live off government "benefit"-"initiatives"?
Fuckin fantastic way to ruin an economy.
AI will also help us compensate for the labor shortage we will experience for the next couple of decades.

How the shit did ya reach this conclusion?
Your seceond paragraph suggests the exact opposite.
Ya know what,...fuck it I'm too stoned to give a shit.
