Only advise I can recommend is stepping ahead of the ai issue and learn to use it to your advantage. It is just another tool. Calculators didn’t stop mathematicians. Just because a tool to improve them. I believe “ai” will too

I like this one.

Yeah. Not sure about firefly. Love the show but just not sure who I trust to capture the charm of the cast. I remember really liking space A&B. Tried watching it a few years ago but could not find it and afraid it might not hold up. There was also a monster show with metatron from supernatural with a cheesy pig nose that I liked that just disappeared.

Space above and beyond

I don’t believe all art. Just low hanging fruit. The bottom 80%. He’ll, even I have pulled a few quick images for articles. Having been in the commercial art field since the ruby days and still doing high end drone photography and corporate brochures and ads I already see it eating away some work.

I err on the long side due to need vs cost savings. Development of a safe and reliable AI system for home or commercial plumbing that take the job fully is way off. What I anticipate is AI companion with AR glasses. It will start with new construction jobs that are designed for them. The 30-50 is to account for the degradation of current facilities. I still have units we maintain that are over 60 years old with 60 years of undocumented modifications and repairs. 30 year old units from companies that have been out of business after install.

Companion systems that reduce the number of technicians maybe. But not full removal.

As a professional artist (past life) and owner of a trade repair company I have to disagree. Agree: yes. One day it can happen. Disagree: 80% of commercial art jobs will be replaced in particular low hanging fruit. Most articles can just generate a “good enough” piece to suit their needs. Product photography will disappear completely. Echo cal artists will go. There may be some left o. The high end but it will be more of ai writer. Hell, corporate web copy is almost completely ai generated for smaller companies.

But. I need to repair the fault on an elevator. Unless there is a built in system to self diagnose (and the have no real reason to do so) external diagnosis is difficult. Then to manipulate the current systems would embolden high levels of dexterity through multiple passenger safety systems. Then determine to location and means of access which can vary extensively. As well as maintain the system for public safety. Once accessed fine motor manipulation as well as continued diagnostics. And that doesn’t take into account that there are several dozen different systems per several dozen different manufacturers that intentionally cause obsolescence.

Will it happen? Sure. Maybe. 50-100 years. We are more likely to have ai deal with resource management and design than repair.

My idea is similar to replicative drift. Where after every copy there is a slight degradation or difference. So when AI continues to make choices based on the original objective the real intent of the objective is drifted away from.

Even though the objective is still there it will begin to make choices that are unexpected. And may take a route to accomplish the objective that is unforeseen and have unexpected consequences.

May not be the best name for it but not my expertise.

That was my idea. Was playing with character.ai and conversationally building a story. Got me thinking about Star Trek computer and how it never misinterpreted commands but my kid will easily twist everything he is told “within the letter of the law”. So if you were to have a consortium it would need basic principles to constrain the conversation.

I feel that the nuanced nature of communication would be a problem. And the ai would begin to wonder way from our original intent through decision drift. Plus I think it would be wise to have general parameters that all programmers must stay inside of. Because humans are not nice.

I don’t believe it would be malicious but I do believe in unintended consequences of our instructions. And bias of humans to manipulate it.

My son does the same. Every…single…time. Not sure how old she is but if young check out the podcast Greeking out by National Geographic kids. He was obsessed.
