@wibble @Uddelhexe But it is. It's taking away fun and fun out of work as well.
I used to go to work because it was still fun (even though there were harder days) and I was doing something worthwhile.
AI doesn't save on labor in that regard. Labor still has to be done (husband is a maintenance tech and I doubt an AI will ever replace him). It's the creativity and fun that gets taken away by AI.
@AuthorJMac @Uddelhexe I'm sure you must be right, but I'm not sure I see it. As I understand it, AI's good at churning out boiler-plate prose and images (likely plagiarised and probably wrong) and spotting anomalies in account-books or X-rays, but none of that sounds much like fun.
The risk, as I see it, is managers will assume AI will boost productivity, and give workers twice the "fun" in half the time, to make them four times as profitable.
But that's a tale as old as time-and-motion men.
