The only problem is that Users lie. Any AI that relies on users being able to accurately describe the issue will fail.

The way I see it, a lot of lvl 1 support will get handled right on the devices at some point, kinda like the current Windows built in troubleshooter except it'll actually work. Pop up the devices dedicated Ai assistant and say "I can't load youtube, what's wrong?" and then the device will just just doing troubleshooting and sorting it out. We're not far off from some crazy detailed auto-generated automation.

What about all the draftsman replaced by Autocad? We use to have 30 in my office for highway design. Now the inspectors draft designs in the winter when there is no construction. Not quite AIp but definitely a large workforce that was replaced by computer programming.

Humans have pretty limited gray matter. It's more than the other animals we know, but it's just marginally better. I would love to see someone's capabilities who had 2 brains worth of neural connections.

We've been modifying our brains since we discovered alcohol. We have a very large number of ways to modify brains right now - from various psychoactive drugs to surgeries to even directed therapy (which can, over time, cause changes in neural pathways).
It's not a matter of "can/can't", it's a gradient of capability. Over time we will be able to do it more easily; in more complex, targeted ways; and with fewer side effects.

Thats weather. Not saying climate change is false, because it isnt, but its unrelated to a hot winter day the same way its not disproved by a cold summer day.

Faulty analogy fallacy. Robots aren’t a race, nor a discriminated sex. They aren’t a subgroup of humans either. Not even a subgroup of animals. Don’t have conciousness or have the ability to feel (don’t answer to this with the typical argumentum ad ignorantiam fallacy). You are trying to give rights and moral consideration to a calculator. And if I see a calculator and a kitten about to be crashed by a car I’d save the kitten.

And yet I see tons of videos of women rubbing their full nude breasts in an obvious sexual manner but it's allowed just as long as it's titled as some sort of 'instructional' milking techniques...
They better not ban hickok45... Guy is the sweetest old man who just has a joyous hobby and shouldn't be banned just because he's educating people on firearms and their history

YouTube has become the bloated mess it used to save us from.
Do they have some legal rights to the concept itself? I don't understand why another platform hasn't just copied what YouTube USED to be.

And watching the same f****** Uber Eats and tiktok ads over and over. 10 minute video? Here's a bunch of ads. 12 second video? Be sure to have an ad before and after
And for god sakes bring back the damn unlike button. We all know they got rid of it to shield corporations and politicians

They take every single natural event as a "climate disaster". The bulk of which are Florida hurricanes, according to other sources stating the same number. But of course they had "climate disasters" long before we started burning coal.

Never want AI to take over the world? Start granting AI rights. People in power hate to give rights to things so they'd probably straight up just ban them or make super strict laws

Climate change is false, now excuse me while I enjoy this perfectly normal February 23rd on a beautiful 67F day here in South Eastern Pennsylvania.

Reply to comment by LettucePrime in Question for any AI enthusiasts about an obvious (?) solution to a difficult LLM problem in society by LettucePrime
I disagree with some of this. "The struggle is the process" wafts of "I suffered, so so should you."
If our tools and technology progressed past the point of a certain test being useful, we move on and make new tests.
The math comparison is not useless. No one thinks writing and arithmetic are the same, so pointing it out isn't moving the discussion forward. The core point of the comparison is that when technology can perform part of the process, we change what it is we care about teaching. I don't know about you, but essays were often basically take-home busywork.
As far as writing essays go, LLM didn't exist when I was in school, but CliffNotes did. Sparknotes did. Enough internet to plagiarize with some clever editorializing. "Academia" has always had this problem. Some students will learn to the degree that they need to. And what industries are harmed by students fudging their essays? What jobs?
Won't those jobs also have access to the same tools? I'm in a very high level technical field and I now regularly use llm tools to get me started on templates for yaml files, terraform modules, etc. If anything, learning how to use it will be the skill.

Rights? No. Not at all. Next we'll be asking rights for Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Next question.
