Doing this sort of work has convinced me that the parallel postulate is a lie
I’d like to see AI miss work because it’s Grandma died… Again
I mean… it absolutely will get it wrong.
Ai “always incorrect”
Having a whole in your roof is a classic construction gotcha.
At least Ai will say sorry you are right, I pulled the measurements out of my ass
Good luck trying to emulate a dumbass, dumbass.
Hell, ai does that already
You’re right to push back! I removed your lung, not your appendix.
It doesn’t even have to measure it first!
You’re absolutely right…
The most tragic and obvious version of AI already doing that is the school that was bombed in Iran due to AI messing up at best.
It does my head in how we ignore the shit answers language models give (I refuse to call them intelligent).
I swear unless it’s baby shit, like where is the syntax error in this script, it almost always gets it wrong.
Making fresh scripts, even with padentic level prompting and detail just ends up with a script with multiple errors.
I’ve realised I would have written it just as quickly (after all the iteration work) if I had just done it myself.
The only I find LLMS are good for are glorified search engines. And even then it’s horrifying how inefficient chatgpt is for search compared to say Google.
Not to mention it’s run by a sociopath.
What are you talking about? They will measure it wrong 3 times, cut it wrong while saying it’s correct.
Technically, it’ll say it measured 3 times, when really it just found a number that someone on Reddit said they measured 3 times 10 years ago, and used that.
Damn it, I didn’t know AI was that good already
They will measure it wrong 3 times, cut it wrong while saying it’s correct.
Are we talking about the AI or the contractor?
Yes
Both. Technically all three.
- The general purpose AI unsuited to the task.
- The untrained contractor directing the AI.
- The soulless profit-bot AI that manages the contractor.
That would be ideal.
That’s literally what they do lol
Then try to fill the space with glue, to then conclude it needs to wipe everything and start over, removing the earth in the progress
just ignore the massive pile of fixodent in my garage that used to be a car
Have you seen AI with numbers? It doesn’t calculate, it just trying to give a statistically-likely answer (just like it does for every other next-word in its answer).
Some of them have to drop back to deterministic software tools (and even then sometimes they’re called with incorrect parameters because “intent” lol)
AI already emulates dumbasses it just got no legs. Don’t worry though, soon they’ll give it legs and guns. Nothing can go wrong guys. trust me bro the future is now
They already gave it missiles and we see where that got us…
I feel like that’s what AI specializes in
AI does it five times, in my experience.
correction: it claimed to do it 5 times. (it did 0 times)
3 times, sir.
I assure you it can give you three different measurements from the same picture then go on to explain why it’s okay to eat the plywood.
Phenomenal
I can see AI measuring something 3 times and cutting it wrong, more than I can see AI measuring things once and cutting it right.
Meanwhile ChatGPT setting a timer:
The only thing hindering AI from taking 99% of the jobs is that robotic engineers still can’t create a robot with the same level of dexterity as human hands.
well, that and the fact that it can’t actually do something to the same level of quality.
but that’s not going to stop it from taking the jobs. only from actually completing them successfully after it does so.
I mean, I would add to this list:
- Humans are way cheaper to recruit, maintain, and produce. Robots only compete on their potential for sociopathicly blind loyalty.
- Computers are deeply fucking stupid in ways that most normal humans cannot even understand, until something tragic happens directly to them, as a reuslt. (And no, AI hasn’t fixed this. It put a really cool looking coat of razor thin paint over it.)
Counterpoint. Robots build cars almost entirely on their own.
eh, sort of.
I work in automotive manufacturing. it’s a huge world. there are tons of people involved in designing, building, and running these cells.
also, the human part is pretty much always the most basic shit - loading and unloading feeders, moving material around with a forklift, loading parts by hand into the machine from material bins because it’s cheaper to hire someone to do that complex task (that is not sarcastic, picking something up from a loose bin and placing it in a known orientation is a difficult task to automate) than to teach and operate a robot for that
I don’t know how line operators stay sane. I’ve designed cells where it’s somebody’s job to do the same dozen motions every minute for an entire shift. many cells like that.
When I wrote that I was thinking in particular about the automated car factories in Japan that run without lights to save electricity.
But I take your point, there are still humans involved in the process.
I’ll have to look into those and see what level of autonomy is happening, thanks for the info. a quick search says they do some welding as well. usually the fully automated stuff is just final assembly stuff and paint, which is simpler to automate because everything is in known locations.
that’s also kind of why I always find it funny when people brag about where the final assembly of a vehicle happens - okay but like where did all the parts come from? there’s four $5 million cells in Mexico, designed and built by Canadians, making the rear subframe and employing hundreds of people; why is a car “American” because you put the last pieces together in the US?
FANUC was the dark factory manufacturer I was thinking of when i originally responded, but that was many years ago. No doubt more of the supply chain has been integrated into the automated process and many companies are providing services.
Note that at the high end the automation is reversed. Tour the Factory Where Bentley Handcrafts Its Luxury Rides. Similarly with expensive sports cars.
Made in X is mostly just for marketing now.
Realistically, most jobs don’t NEED hands. Most physical jobs can be done better with customized manipulators for the type of work being done.
We’d only need hands if we wanted a single robot model that could do multiple types of jobs, instead of a specific robot for each job.
You ever worked in the trades? You need hands.
I’d like to see AI change blinker fluid or bring the foreman a bucket of steam
Wouldn’t even know where to find a left handed screw driver
Or the board stretcher.
My favorite is having the new guy hold a bucket behind someone else using a grinder, to collect sparks for the spark plugs.
So nonsensical and yet so many people fall for it.
The Leftorium at the Springfield mall, obviously.
this is like my new favorite wikipedia article, the examples are so funny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fool's_errand
