[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8906532, member: 11760"] There are a [I]lot [/I]of AI run content mills already. If you read a web page, looking for an answer to something, and it's strangely discursive, repeats itself and sometimes has completely wrong answers alongside clearly correct ones -- and I have run into those a [I]lot[/I] over the past six months -- no human ever touched that page. I'm actually OK with this (other than the garbage responses when I'm looking for answers on something). I don't want or need humans to just retype someone else's news story or recipe for me, any more than I need a human to manually crank out a thousand nearly identical legal documents in a year. Some stuff the AI can have. Those aren't jobs people love now and the machines can have them. That said, anyone who's doing a repetitive job they hate, just for the cash, machines are definitely coming for those jobs. And even the repetitive tasks in more complex jobs will likely get scooped up, too, which is fine by me. I don't [I]want [/I]to have to manually look up data on a page and build a spreadsheet with it just to be able to begin work on my real problem.
