dogpile@jeffowski AI is just another tool to make users lazier
Gavin Morgan@jeffowski Well, yeah. That's the whole point of software since "Expert Systems;" to crystallize expertise, alienating it from experts. Then the experts can retire, and the next generation can develop novel expertise.
Why, has something gone wrong?
enoch_exe_inc@gavmor @jeffowski Yes. We have yet to design a single, working expert system.
@enoch_exe_inc @jeffowski But we have, arguably, designed working software by other means.
Alexander The 1st@gavmor @jeffowski For 1.), the Experts helping crystalize the "Expert Systems" get paid to help do that work.
For 2.), they don't actually get to retire, as they're there to ensure that when it goes off the rails, they can point out it went off the rails, and figure out why.
Joanna Bryson, blathering@jeffowski I think that's what corporations do and not special to AI. We use unions, civil society, and government to compensate. See also though https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tops.12682 which in the end agrees with you. #AIEthics
Billy Smith@cstross describes Corporations as Slow AI running on a biological substrate. :D
