People won't be joking about these apps in a few years as it's advancing exponentially, these will reduce jobs in a lot of fields.
Like which jobs. Show me the money
People said when mobile photography got good that wedding photographers would be out of work. No end of reviewers tried to show this or that phone as good as an SLR. Did it happen? no
When computer-controlled printing got started in the 80s it did put typesetters and engineers who had to configure printers manually out of a job. A new breed of printers that could understand postscript came out and the printing business was never the same again.
Has machine translation put translators or interpreters out of business? No, still required
I tried to translate a Russian document about their nuclear doctrine and I thought the translation was really good. Still going to need human oversight if it's to be used for anything official or commercial for that matter. The point is it's going to take a while for people to trust this tech before they let people go
This thread is full of nothing but fear-mongering and parroting of hype
Just like accountants started using calculators instead of calculators replacing them, no.
It is a tool, which will be utilized in the workflow.

Nice one. Jobs said the PC was like a bicycle for your mind. Improves productivity and that accelerated when those computers got networked and further still when those computers got miniaturised. Were people laid off in this process, no, economies grew worldwide and still continue to.
With each new iteration of tech, some jobs go away and new ones are created because productivity went up and that created a demand for something else. Nobody seems to be talking about that second bit.
When they wanted to computerise govt, there were protests by govt staff worldwide who feared the computer would take their job away. Instead, it created a demand for people who could write apps that went on for over four decades to the point there were not enough in the West and they had to import them from the East.
I've seen how well AI works in user communities like Google's G+. When the posts by the mods get deleted for spamming
Mods post more often, because they do the system decided they were spammers and removed their posts
I hear AI will be a real gamechanger in the military
When an AI fighter pilot beat an experienced human pilot 15-0 in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s AlphaDogfight competition, it didn’t just

AI pilot beats one with experience 15-0. It costs tens of $millions to train a fighter pilot.
So how soon is any air force willing to put one of these gadgets in their even more expensive jets? any takers out there in the real world
AI agents have weaknesses, though. Their performance is often very brittle, and AI agents can struggle to adapt to small rule changes in games. These weaknesses could prove fatal in combat — where there are no rules — and militaries should be mindful of AI systems’ flaws.
It will likely start with drones. Japanese got a 6G project on the anvil
AI decision-making that is somewhat mysterious, like the unconventional moves that AI agents sometimes make in poker, chess, and go, might be harder for militaries to embrace. It is easier for militaries to trust an AI agent whose advantage is clearly identifiable, such as quicker reflexes. Placing faith in an AI agent whose cognition is opaque and whose long-term plan is unknown may be a harder sell. Yet over time as AI systems take on more roles, including in tactical planning and decision-making, military leaders may face the decision on whether to trust an AI system’s recommendation that they don’t fully understand.
heh, if humans are the ultimate arbitrators and they don't understand the solution provided they won't use it. Faster reflexes is fine though
