Jobs Market isChanging

[Raul-02]

The jobs that AI will take are non-skilled labor jobs first.

I remember the first CNC machine tools. the promise from EVERYONE I mean everyone from industry experts to university professors and politicians, was the machines are not taking your jobs.

There was not one man alive who didn't know it was all lies.

I remember thinking at the time that if a machine could take my job they'd have rocks in their heads not to go that route.
Well, each machine obviated no less than three jobs almost right away. Then when they got rid of the card reader and tape machines and started with the multi axis "Machining centers" it was one machine would eliminate ten to twenty jobs. And they did just that.

I gotta say, I'm holding out for sex robots. I want really hot looking robots that I can dress all slutty and have 'em sit on the couch and make salacious remarks to guests walking by.
But really I want them to be my caretakers as I age, Have modules I can plug in 'em for culinary so they can cook and elder care so they can keep track of my meds and hydration and bathe me etc., even modules for conversation with all the information in libraries of things like engineering literature etc..

Really? I just married a real girl for that…….

Good for you! Some of us are too crotchedy and mean for that, hence the need for robots.

Ai is modern day snake oil. Gluten free scam.

It's nothing new. People who dont understand programming are just being fooled by advertising

There's no fooling anyone...many of the required capabilities are just now on the horizon...

Heck...some of the oldest AI technology is rooted in robotics and much of that has been adapted into self driving vehicles etc... and we can all see how far that has come to date...!

one milestone that will be interesting will be the first corporate board of directors meetings where the entire meeting (including taken minutes etc.) is done by computers in a matter of microseconds with all decisions being the best possible choices etc. for the corp...no in house politics etc...!

Ai is just marketing name for math/algorithms

Machine I work on has been learning
for 30 years. Nothing new

I am so glad my response is not something about burying mine recently.
Mine will be aging with me ( I truly hope) and she'll need help too.

You sayin' my sex robots will be boring?

That's fine...Algorithms don't really "learn"...
And to reach even the cusp of it's (AI) capabilities it requires running millions or even billions (ever increasing number) of algorithms at one time...what you're talking about is running maybe one or two at the same time...

Edit: Robotics Process Automation (RPA) as it is now being referred to today, is actually programing but now there are tools that do a lot of the code so you don't have to be such a smart programer. They are going after tasks that were once repetitive tasks that a person would do or a sequence of tasks that you would do on a regular basis. Really not that difficult to do. I have a degree in programming, though I don't do it now.

I can tell you that the RPA programs they have today would take a lot of lines of code for a conventional programmer to do what the RPA software can do in a fraction of time. Programming is probably another example of a skilled job that could be done by a computer, getting closer and closer to it.

Like the little voice to text option on your firestick or phone, it replaces what used to require a bunch of keystrokes with a voice recognition and instructions sent to your TV. At some point you will be able to verbally tell a computer what app you want generated and it will do it.

@Raul-02 Forgot about CNC, that is a great example of a skilled labor job that was replaced by robotics. There are some skilled jobs that could be done robotically, welding is another good one.
