People are weird. AI will be great for menial things, amplifying things and bringing up the floor. It'll leave people to focus on higher level stuff. However, I think it'll hollow out the lower tier stuff, so training at lower tier tasts to reach the higher level tasks is going to be a challenge... but I'm sure we'll figure it out. I think the biggest change will be teaching people to ask AI, "Why?" and understand each step vs being happy with just the answer. I also think that this phrase will be more important as time goes on, "A question well posed is a question half answered."
Robo AI for dumb stuff like basic doctors visits, basic prescriptions, hell even as basic double check in general will be good. Robo nannies will also be great. Robo chefs as well. I view it no differently than tech to enhance the lives of older people. Lights on/off to more enhanced and accurate request fulfilment etc. Think something like swiftkey that learns your swipe style to customize a keyboard for you... but daily routines etc. That's the basics of a future where everything we deal with is AI enhanced. Some will still hate it, most will like it... majority will be like now, addicted to consuming media, but given higher quality media.
I don't think people realize that technologically speaking, we aren't being given the highest tier of product to consume. We essentially are still mostly provided pixelated games for phones capable of playing movies.
This morning I was thinking... what if there was a mashup where the Joker and the thief intro was used for the intro to Muse's uprising... One day it'll be easily accessible one day if I want it to be.
A future where AI turns us into the Wall-e or Matrix time line could happen, but only if we let it, and honestly speaking, I'm sure it'd take a while to reach that point. There's still too much in terms of resource scarcity for what AI would need to take over in terms of power, physical barriers etc.
What I like the most about AI is more appropriately identifying the question. It's good at all necessary details for situations where people keep thinking their situation is simple, but not. Honestly speaking, many people's definition of simple vs complex is purely based on their intentions of putting in effort, not their actual situation. Lately, I've been solving certain arguments with the wife and kids by telling them to stop asking me but to ask AI and ask AI why it is correct.
"What is the answer to this elementary school math question?"
"Cake is X number, cookies is Y number."
"Too fast. How do you know you're right?"
"Sigh... I don't have time or energy for this. Just ask ChatGPT to explain step by step how to solve..."
"Pfft. Computers can't do that."
"Will you just try before making those claims?"
