Reply to comment by fool_on_a_hill in What are the so-called 'jobs' that AI will create? by thecatneverlies

People said AI couldn't do art, write stories or make movies. These things are now either done or will be done soon. Robotics will go through the same progression, say within 5 years we have an android that can operate in complex environment, within 10 it replaces almost all manual labor

no AI expert would concede that we are anywhere near that close to this. You're severely underestimating how much work the human brain does to filter out complexity and practice relevance realization. Hell we can't even reproduce the visual cortex let alone all the other sensory input systems required to do what a grunt construction worker does with ease.

Personally I don't think we'll ever do it, but that's just me. Either way it's decades out

I think it’s not nearly as good as it seems yet and it’s also never gonna be economical to replace laborers

The idea is if we get AGI it will solve manufacturing Robotos that are good
