The robot apocalypse hasn't happened yet, but still I can't escape the feeling that something has gone horribly wrong...

This is almost correct. The part where the bots produce seemingly good art and output is wrong, tho.

This is the saddest part.

If we were in a society where we, as humans, would have been *advantageously* replaced by machines, I would see the tragedy, but I would personally also see and appreciate the rationale.

But the bots are producing slop that is worse than the most nauseating output from the most insipid, unscrupulous, most prolific greed driven plagiarist on steroids...

@royaards The problem is that most artificial intelligence research and development has been working top-down instead of bottom-up so far. We have cracked most of the things that seem like hard intellectual problems to us humans, like playing chess or painting pictures or solving protein folding, but AI still can't do the things any trained rat can do. It's as if we were building a house starting at the roof.

@LordCaramac @royaards this! And: while there are toilet-cleaning and brick-laying robots available now (I won't call it AI powered because opencv with pattern recognition should be enough for this), they're expensive and it's still cheaper to exploit humans for those jobs. Yay capitalism \o/

@royaards
I think you're probably right.

@royaards is the image for this AI slop as well, or just someone who really likes Bender Bending Rodriguez?

[csgraves@turtleisland.social]

@royaards studies it won’t come, because robots have no “soul” or whatever you want to call it. Robots cannot create art, it is impossible.

@royaards Nah AI and Robots will eventualy replacve also the rest . And we will be happy when we dont end up as soylent green for the rich

[aschniedermann@fediscience.org]

@Gooberific @royaards At least they chose Bender for the cartoon! If I have to be replaced by a robot, I'd be fine with being it Bender.

@royaards Its true, AI sucks at the tasks that run the world!
