Reply to comment by wienercat in North American companies notch another record year for robot orders by darth_nadoma

People have been saying a lot of things for decades, doesn't mean it will never happen. AI is coming for skilled labor as well. You'll have one experienced guy being able to do the work of 5 with the help of ai.

Never said it wouldn't happen. It's just not going to happen anytime soon.

Being able to pull from a database of resources to answer questions on an exam doesn't make an AI a qualified doctor or lawyer. It means it can properly query its own database.

A lot of knowledge work is simply knowing stuff and knowing what to look for and where. Our current setup doesn't allow for robot lawyers standing in front of a jury maybe but they can absolutely replace the associates doing the grunt work of finding precedents/cases, drafting and proof reading briefs etc.
