Comment on Is AI as it is now a scam? by nevertheless

Clearly it is delivering results to people, so I don’t think it is a scam.
  
AI is a tool.

Can it be used as a method for subduing the people? Yes.

Can it be used to help improve our lives?
Also yes.
  
Criticizing it as a scam for not being “sentient” is kind of like saying “I wish this hammer knew where the nails were and nailed them itself”

The hammer doesn’t need to be sentient to figure out how to hammer nails into a wall.

But it would need to be sentient to go pursue create that capability itself. AI doesn’t seem to be good at innovative creativity.

Arguably, we’ll get things done faster and more easily with AI. But I just don’t think it will be coming up with groundbreaking NEW ideas.

The shift of the 3rd Industrial Revolution will be learning how to apply the AI to solve problems and optimize and figuring out where the limits of the technology are.

Humans will be there solely for creative thought.

Much like any new tech, there are people who are afraid of it. You can look at AI’s potential as exciting or threatening.

And even if you are a construction worker…
  
Someone’s still gotta design the house.

Someone’s still gotta sell the house to a buyer.

AND someone’s still gotta fix that thing when it (and the AI) breaks.

I think everything that can be automated will be automated, so put yourself in a position where you can be ahead of the ongoing creep of AI capability.
