    Sydney Morning Herald[^]:

    In a survey conducted earlier this month of firms using AI since early 2022 in the Richmond, Virginia region, 45 per cent said they were automating tasks to reduce staffing and labour costs.

    Try not to be shocked

      Not all, but many will end having big problems and let see if they survive the next 5 years.

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        1790: so what this new machine going to do? I will allow 1 person to make fabric as fast as 10 people oh, what will the other 9 people do? I don't know, but I will pay you 1.2% more 1980s: what do you mean we don't need the lino type machines any more. Oh we also only need like 1 out of 5 people to do this new machine and get even more newspapers made

          Computer scientists: We've invented a virtual dumbass that is wrong more often than not. Tech CEOs: Great, let's replace our staff with it!

            Probably says as much about the current staff as it does the CEO, right?

              I'm probably just getting old and crotchety but I am not a fan of this whole AI hype thing. There are arenas where it's surprisingly useful, but people want to employ it everywhere. Fortunately, if it's anything like other tech bubbles it will eventually burst and at least some sanity will carry the day.

                I don't disagree. I think AI is in it's infancy and the hype is off the charts and ridiculous. That being said... I'm probably just getting old and crotchety but my opinion of my cow-orkers (to borrow a Scott Adams term) has been plummeting lately. Seems like the average work ethic and IQ have dropped significantly. It's doubtful, but maybe the threat of being replaced by AI will trigger a response.

                  It told me Lake Baikal was 500,000 sq Km. Oddly I went and searched again to try and screenshot that, but neither google nor bing opted to give me the AI summary.

                    I find myself starting to think like that, and I relegate that stuff to "intrusive thought" status. I've found that it's too easy to A) let it go to one's head, such that you decide you're "better" than other folks B) get miserable, having to face the fact that everyone I work with is basically useless. It's easy to remember the bad stuff. The good stuff tends to be business as usual, and so it's kind of a downhill trajectory without actively putting the brakes on and reassessing. All that said, you're not necessarily wrong, but if that's the case, you might look for a different place to work.
