In this scenario the threat of automation - the constant media buzz that total automation of everything is right around the corner - is more important than the actual technology itself even existing or being possible. And lo and behold that's exactly what we have now

to be fair, i think the video directly addresses this using the story of the great depression and the devastation brought on by 25-30% unemployment

i think the point isn't all the jobs are gone, but rather that enough are that the economy and society is majorly ~disrupted~

Computers are not as smart as you think they are. A retarded kid's brain is much more powerful than any computer. The only reason computers seem smart is because their architecture is uniquely designed to do arithmetic quickly. Deep Blue did not out-think Kasparov. Deep Blue ran the numbers on every single possibility of every single move -- because chess is discrete math and computers are uniquely suited to that.

A more fair comparison is neural networks vs. the human brain, and neural networks are nowhere close. Theoretically, you could build a neural network that is complex enough to mimic the human brain, and learn and adapt and make critical decisions based on inputs the same way the human brain does. Realistically, computers that are powerful enough to do this are nowhere on the horizon, and the best we can do right now is a "brain" whose ONLY purpose is to play Mario poorly or predict the next word in a sentence. Even this is deceptively impressive -- these AIs don't have to "learn" what words are, or who Mario is -- all that interpretation is built in, removing a huge part of the complexity.

Source: I work in biometrics. Right now computers aren't even smart enough that we can reliably teach them to tell apart cat vs. dog and you're telling me they're going to replace people.

Many people do not know who mario is or what certain words actually mean.

The entire world is just a complex mathematical problem, Deep Blue did in fact out think Kasparov, Deep Blue out thought him by "thinking" all of the possible moves that could be played. That's exactly what a human brain does. You program the possible moves into the AI and then get it to run the simulations in it's memory, humans do the same thing just in their minds eye and thoughts.

We just need more time to condition the AI's brain to act more human.

Chess software doesn't calculate every move. It calculates a certain number of moves ahead depending on hardware limitations. Once the software has gone as many moves as it can it has to decide which game state is best. Most of the recent improvements in chess software has come from improving the estimate of which games state is better using neural networks.

That's my whole point, humans can learn these things. For the comparison to be fair, you need to be feeding not ASCII codes or Mario's position into a computer, you need to be feeding images of a book or a TV screen, and teaching the computer to recognize them. Without any prior templates. To do that would take a neural network much more complex than the one doing the original job.

That's not what the human brain does at all. Kasparov does not think of every single possible move. He uses his brain to filter out a huge amount of the possibilities instantly because they're unreasonable. He needs to do that because his brain is not a machine specifically designed to do discrete math, which is very suited to chess.

Perhaps chess computers aren't the best example, because chess is a discrete math problem with a reasonably small set of possibilities (still way too big for even the smartest human to consider in its entirety). Consider "the entire world is just a complex mathematical problem". Yes, you can encode a human's perception of the world into 0s and 1s, but what then? Deep Blue knew every possibility that could happen in its limited scope of application. Humans do not know every possibility about anything, and yet we manage just fine. That's because we are not like Deep Blue -- we are like a neural network. A neural network that is orders of magnitude more powerful than anything that is even close to being possible.

E: Here's a great explanation of a Mario neural network. Note, like I said, it's "cheating" because it already knows what all the drawings on the screen mean (in a really primitive way). A human brain is born knowing absolutely nothing. Also note that it's nothing like Deep Blue -- at no point does it do anything resembling "thinking of all the possible moves", because, just like a human in everyday life, it has no idea what "all the possible moves" are. It does some things, see how they work, changes something, sees if that works, rinse repeat. That's how a human brain learns. Except a human's "neural network" is comprised of the entirety of your life experiences, so your incredibly complex computer is going to be firing off decision paths on "I recognize this is a video game, I've played video games before", "that mario is a human, I know humans", "that thing has teeth, it's probably dangerous, my decision paths will tend to stray away from it". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv6UVOQ0F44

Deep Blue is 30 years old and is an awful reference for automation and AI. It actually computes every move and is slow as hell, look at AlphaGo which is an actual AI and neural network and how much it poo poo on the best Go player in the world. The point of automation is not to be better than the human brain at everything it is about being better than the human brain at an incredibly narrow skill and we are reaching that point now in driving, medical diagnosis, and in the next five years natural language processing.

For example Nvidia made some driving AI simulator that will let an AI run thousands and thousands of hours of driving in a day. It might not be better than a human today but these things get better with more data and that is something we make at an increasing rate every day. This poo poo is inevitable it is not going to happen in a day but there is literally no way it won't come about because it's safer, cheaper, and best of all can be run 24/7 without needing to ever stop.

And I bet if you put a picture of a cat and a dog into an AI designed to identify pictures like that one MSFT has it would be right 99% of the time, in a year it will be right 100% of the time and in 5 years it will be finding hidden dogs and cats that no human knew were in the picture

I don't disagree that computers can replace menial jobs. I'm just pointing out that the brilliant AI that's capable of critical thinking that people envision isn't even close to being on the horizon. For that you literally need a neural network that's comparable to a human brain, and that's not even close to being computationally feasible.

I wouldn't say corner them. The whole point of the AR that I'm working on is to speed up the grunt-level ediscovery process so you don't need a group of JDs to wade through a pile of stuff. Which further chokes out an already crowded legal market since discovery is an easy gig for someone that made it through law school but isn't able to hack it with a larger firm.

But then certain aspects of doc-review have been sent out to call-centers for a decade or so now.
