Haven't noticed AI cleaning the toilets or watering the pot plants yet.

[@combatwombat2134]

AI does water flowers, but not sure they're in pots... And, I suppose through a certain perspective, that Aqua-something that cleans public or workplace toilets is a form of AI because it doesn't just work on sensors as a function.

[@Betweoxwitegan]

Algorithms and to a much lesser extent ai are used for large scale greenhouse irrigation, it's also being used in drone tech and farming equipment. There are robots and automatically cleaning toilets which use algorithms to clean toilets, using ai is just a waste for such a system task.

The real concern should be only the energy used by AI. AI it is expensive and we can't afford it as humans, the world is already suffering for the lack of energy and AI it is so hungry of energy. The Big Tech companies have to put down lots of money on Nuclear power plants as soon as they can.

[@qlmbusinessnews]

Absolutely agree! 🌍 The energy consumption of AI is a pressing issue that needs immediate attention. With our current energy crisis, balancing technological advancement with sustainable initiatives is essential. Investing in nuclear power could be a way forward, but it’s crucial to explore all green energy avenues for a more sustainable future. 🌿 Let's hope Big Tech steps up to the plate. ⚡

The growing demand for AI, ChatGPT, and robotics inspired me to dive into coding, as it’s the foundation for mastering these fields.

[@RanmaSyaoranSaotome]

Of course a big company at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="196">3:16</a> has created a "personality type" around AI, despite such concepts being being utter nonsense.

[@s8piral]

One other reason for not using AI that they didn't discuss is how much energy and water it consumes (for cooling data centers). This is why I think there will always be limits to how much AI we can and should use. We also don't have the chip capacity to keep up with current demand, much less if everyone uses AI. While I doubt this is a reason most people aren't using AI, I do think it is a good thing that most aren't. It should be reserved for science and high end uses where it can do the most good, not trivial things like memos.

[@TheStonesQT93]

A lot of money is being thrown at finding sustainable solutions to building and operating data centers. Google, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, HP, Lenovo are all putting in millions into research and development. Using water and relying on the current grid is simply not feasible, and they know that. I think we’re going to innovate our way out of this issue. Look at the COOLERCHIPS program. Governments are pushing this too.

I am a fan of FT, but I found this video terrible. What is said about AI is vague and obvious. Once the video is over, no new information or interesting reflections about AI in the workplace are gained. It would be more engaging if you conducted interviews with philosophers or sociologists about AI, while keeping the focus on the economy. This could provide us with a different and deeper perspective.

[@mikedodger7898]

Very useful, thank you. If you are considering a follow up video, you might consider looking into the risk of losing organizational "tribal knowledge" to an AI service that has an uncertain future. Like all SAS products, once a company grows then founders sell and a hedge fund takes over and strips the human overhead and changes terms of service. The legal terms of service show how at risk a company is when dealing with a monolithic company that decides to "evolve". Rarely do profit minded companies do what is best for society, or all of their customers... they do what gets the humans the most short term payouts.

I find it hillarious to think that HR types use AI to create long corpo speak out of short corpo speak. As a programmer I find AI useful to safe time on questions I otherwise would have solved googling. I rarely use it to create production code. The problem with ai-generated code is that it is very difficult to find the mistakes because it looks good while still being wrong in subtle ways.

[@christianlunday7368]

This video completely ignored the concern of most people. AI in "cost-cutting" measures is the issue. The job displacement of millions of people in the economy, while tech companies try to improve AI where it becomes a self-improving technology with the general intelligence of human beings is the main issue. Why adopt it now, if it will replace me later? What is inspiring OpenAI to do tests for UBI? It's because they anticipate massive job displacement, and in some sense, permanent industrial cuts. Distrust of top-level leadership to self-preserve over the needs of their workforce is the secondary issue. The general public doesn't trust top-level corporate leadership - they will always choose to cut others over themselves. And with our pursuit of a self-improving/self-replicating artificial general intelligence, new jobs that are created while old ones are destroyed is not a viable option as the self-improving/self-replicating artificial general intelligence could simply fill those needs theoretically as well.

The downside no one speaks about is there will be less roles for juniors vs seniors...and then secondly, the rich will get richer and the poor poorer. He explained the seniors thing..senior people have been delegating work to juniors...now they will delegate it to AIs...eventually the AI will also become good at delegating tasks and will comfortably replace even senior people...but thats much later. The second less obvious thing is that the rich will become richer and the poor poorer. There is a lie being peddled by people like elon musk about AI leading to the rise of universal basic income. AI that works on your behalf but you get the salary...that stuff will never happen. AI is going to replace the need the rich to need the poor. Before, rich people still needed lower class people to do menial tasks...they needed a driver, a maid, a gardener etc...now all those roles will be replaced by robots and suddenly the rich wont need to pay poor people. The rich will get richer and the poor poorer because they will lose the few jobs they have. Eventually there will be big protests against AI and machines/robots...AI will be banned in certain spheres...new companies will push the fact that they hire real humans as an advantage...a feature of their products.
