"Maintenance electrician here. My job is.
There is a new task every day and nothing of it follows any sort of standard procedure at least for an AI.
It would first need to have a fully functioning body that can work without electricity in tight areas before it could even begin to replace me."
plenty of errors and wrongful collection of information some times.
then watch the robocup, it has been around for some 25 years.
As of right now, I don't see any REAL danger from "AI". It has to get better by order of magnitudes to be a real threat.
True, most current AI is nothing more than a parrot, just regurgitation trained phrases, which means it's Algorithm Intelligence NOT artificial intelligence.
I have a neck massager that heats and massages my neck, those chairs at thr mall are amazing, and those water jet beds are better than ANY human message I've EVER had. Now, add a SIMPLE AI program that learns the speed, pressure, and area it's human owner likes and responds to best and it could EASILY do that job. In fact, that would be SO much better than a human. Don't get me wrong, I love getting a massage from an SO but lying in a bed while a stranger rubs my nearly naked body? I've had one professional massage in my nearly 40 years of life and I've never left a room more uncomfortable and stressed in my life. I would much prefer an AI learning massage machine over a human message therapist anyway.
Sure, there are plenty of jobs some people will ALWAYS prefer a human to do. I personally love self-checkout while many people hate it. But, a job human will still be able to get paid to do is not the same as a job AI will never be able to do
