Hopefully humans parrot and then think about it. The problem is the second part is missing in today's AI.

I cannot capture all the complexity in a simple phrase, but repositioning the "god-like AI that will take over and enslave us now any second" as nothing else than an unthinking parrot is one important dimension.

If it turns out that there are jobs this parrot can take over, it also sheds an interesting light on that job ...

Just an idea for the next conference panel :-)

I agree that is an important distinction for sure. I'm actually of the belief that most jobs outside of garbage collection, farming, water treatment and healthcare are not "essential"... A la #davidgraeber 's famous book Bullshit Jobs ... This puts artists, lawyers, accounts, copywriters, traders and a whole host of others w/o a means to survive in #capitalist society...if we lived in star trek world it wouldn't matter;)
