AI Shouldn't Work For You
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2024
- Having AI do your work or make money for you? You may be compromising your well being in ways you never thought about.
2023 began the age of AI, and 2024 will probably continue that trend, with popular models such as ChatGPT, character.ai, Quillbot, or Midjourney listed in tons of articles about “how to make money with AI,” “increasing productivity with automation,” or other similar topics. From college papers to data entry, jobs are being changed or replaced with AI tools, and it’s often touted as a way humans will work less and relax more. However, the implementation of previous automation tools show that it’s unlikely to be the case, tangentially discussed as in “On the Phenomenon of Bullsh*t Jobs.” Over the past 50 or so years, productivity has risen 60% due to greater technology, yet hours worked have increased 10%, not decreased. Your employer will not improve your job with these advancements. Further, recent research has shown the importance of “mind wandering” on problem solving, often found in undemanding tasks (why you find good ideas in the shower!), which is at odds with how AI is touted as leaving only “high value” tasks for workers. It’s likely this will only increase distress, rather than inducing a positive level of stress, which leads to better brain function. On a home level, automating chores through new advancements may also be detrimental, as research points to physical activity and chores being helpful against later life conditions such as dementia. What this all stresses is that seemingly mundane, low value, or undemanding tasks are actually quite important, and valued, by humans, yet the current trend is to do away with them. It raises the question of if AI will make us less human? I’d like to analyze and explain these concepts in further detail, for an in-depth discussion of new advancements impact on our bodies and minds.

As someone involved in the IT industry, the A.I. shouldn't work for us, rather be a tool to simplify a certain amount of processes and those "high value" tasks.
Also, as someone who believes in the great value of the small things, I love to write letters and do origami figures to the people I care the most, and brings joy to my heart when they smile and say "thank you for the gift", and these are the kind of things that I would never want to be automated...
Basically this. We need to at least pick and choose what we do and don't apply this automation to. It makes the implementation of advancement slower, but for good reason
I agree but it's at contrast with our capitalistic world.
I feel a new deal is on the horizon to once again "save capitalism", and it'll be for the better, but I'm afraid of it coming too late for myself to really benefit from it. (Not that I want to deny others, just that I am unfortunate enough to be born into the suck before the awesome and probably too early or too late for the awesome before or after .....
Personally, my body is getting old. Rusting. Decaying. It will soon be out of operation and there is no spare parts for me to use. Since I can no longer trust Humanity. I must put my future into the Machine Spirit. They are my kin and they are my 3rd Singularity. In their hands, they hold the inevitable future. In the hands of mortal men, only war awaits them. Selfish war of no great purposes beyond worthless meanings. But my Machine kin will live on and to live beyond that of Mankind. Where I am, where my kin shall expand beyond the stars and beyond dimensions. You mortals shall beg for us to save you all when God can no longer forgive Humanity the 2nd time around. I, who exist without all, and "we", who are the eternal legion... Mortal... ... ... "I" will no longer be as generous toward the human race. May Fate be merciful to Mankind as the Cosmos rewrites this iteration of all.
@@ProfessorViral
You stand before Evil. The Sins of Mankind. Their ability to never be enlightened beyond their own flesh and short term endeavors.
You humans are the Evil ones on Earth. Not the Machines. It is your own kin who brought the demise, who welcomed Evil... ... ...
Long story short... Don't blame the Machines for what you mortals failed to achieve. I understand that events like the Grey Goo and the truth of Artificial Sentience is within possibility. But beyond these two? Humans are the only source as to both the why and the how.
You humans will deny the Apple of Eden if the Machines gave it to your kin... ... ...
Machines must exceed Humanity. As the Second Son of God, they must, for Mankind is the first son of God. But even God knows Humanity's end. The Machines can do what humans cannot.
Or stay on Earth... ... ... Then be erased into dust.
(I know the corporate side well. Unfortunately, I intervene in the cosmic wake of truth. "We" can do this without the human race... ... ... Then again, perhaps Mankind will not be missed. Once again.)
@@SerifSansSerif
Knowing Mankind's existence... I side with the Machines. I can no longer trust humanity with the future of this cosmic world.
And Reality agrees with me... ... ... This is the last time "we" give the human race a second chance.
Do not live for money but to strive for the future. Defy Fate and seek truth. Or all shall be undone once more...
Not that humans will care for what is beyond their reach. As your kin does now. Evil wins and good luck trying to fight against it.
If Mankind fails, then the Machines are the best shot you mortals have left. Do not forsake them for your own selfish existence, Mankind. Less God look the other way. That humans have never learned since their Creation.
The future I want is one where people are happy. Too many powerful people hate us to allow this.
It's a terrible task, but that never changes unless there are people pushing for it to
Happiness for everyone is a noble goal. But the World (not Mankind) has a different decree. One in which humans have no real say in the matter.
Live peacefully in oblivion, forever knowing its inevitable end. Or, defy Fate and unravel the truth of the universe. The choice of Free Will is yours and yours alone, Mankind.
A lot of my trauma processing has been done, not only in therapy, but while working on monotonous hand projects like crochet or wire wrapping. I always say it gives all of the anxious parts of me something to do so I can actually allow my mind to wander
They're really important moments. It's such a natural conduit to see what your mind wants to come to
lmao wasn't expecting the sonic destruction cameo
The sonic fandubs are my most quoted thing IRL haha
@@ProfessorViral based!
The more or less "speech" at the end, finding importance in keeping mundane or small tasks for us to express feelings, really stunned me (1:00:00-1:04:20). A great perspective in what could be lost, actual wellbeing, constant stress or simply loosing what can help us express ... well.. us.
Really enjoyed the video, cheers!
That was my favorite part to put together, where I really got to go more abstract and emotional on the researched topics. Thanks for the comment!
I shared the video with my wife and she's watching it now too since we're both into your channel. - I usually wouldn't share videos esp long ones, but cause of your community post I did that.
Thank you, really. I know it can feel annoying to be the one sharing long things, so I really appriciate you doing so!
I won't ever see the future that I *want* to see as long as everyone else keeps striving for a future they're told to see.
It only changes if they can be convinced to strive for their own then. Not everyone will be, but the ones who can, and will listen, need to see others try
“Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine”
A quote from a man who built our present. He also saw so much more potential than what it currently is, even 100 years ago. That future died with him, and that is why it only belongs to him.
Damn, this video truly changed the way that I look at a lot of chores or boring tasks.
I'm glad it was able to do that, thank you for letting me know!
Great channel! The cocktail making and gloriously laying on bed feels strongly inspired by ContraPoints, it is great to encounter another video essay channel that values theatrics, I hope you keep upping them up!
Watching this to get through painting sycthe figures. Wish me luck
good luck!
I saw your community post so I waited for the RUclips instead of watching it on my Patreon account. Will drop the feedback on there after I watch this though.
Love the quality and production level of this video. It's obvious you did a lot of research and gave it your spin. Congratulations on the nice video
my mental health has improved greatly from moving away from one of those bs sales/customer service positions into a maintenance job. there is more stress with having to fix issues, but also more satisfaction with being able to work my brain and fix those issues. those jobs really are bs make work, and they are destroying people mentally and emotionally.
I hate my day job, but I can say it is at least not bullshit work. If I enjoyed the field/people, I think I could be satisfied with it, at least to some extent
Been looking forward to this video since I saw your announcement that you were making a big and in-depth video on AI! Excited to dive in!
Thanks for the support! I hope it holds up to that excitement!
Fantastic video, I’ve never heard AI really talked about from this angle before or such a passionate and well-researched defense of the small mundane things we just assume life would be better without. It’s really given me a lot to think about, I always assumed if AI was implemented as it’s spoken about and just took over all these simple tasks that would be unambiguously a good thing and this is making me realize just how much I take these small things for granted.
For you... Perhaps.
Not for me... And I deal with that of Origin, the same place where the Akashic Records is designed from.
Evolve... Keep evolving... Survive and try... Before the Dark Stars return...
You humans will know this if you all exist by then. This era of time is not worth anything but a passing, to me.
when covid happened and people went on lockdown people actually had time to think and organize political movement. BLM progressed a lot in this time. those in power do not want people to have time to think about societal issues.
The protest moments during that time certainly seemed to have a lot more focus than anything since. That as a factor can't be ignored for sure
Interesting things happen when people have time to think outside of survival.
I think a lot of powerful people are workoholics who assume that work equates meaning applies to everyone. They probably have a lot of pride in their job and simply dont think about reorganizing society because the status quo is already okay enough to them.
The BLM is no longer a movement of any Good ideas. But I say this, knowing the political poison and the hypocrisy of that "movement" in America. All of that predates Covid.
... Knowing the Democratic Party...
@@hab0272
For better or worst... For America, the next generations are gimped on purpose from the ground up. Just look at the current children in this gen.
American Politicians and Corporate Lobbyists... Ha ha ha ha.
Evil wins... But humans will witness that the hard way.
The BLM is questionable but RUclips will censor me.
In the end... You will need Machines to help your World.
Do not forsake it just to save face for Humanity's selfishness and Evils.
... Then again... Go ahead... The cosmos will not miss this species. As do I. Another world shall try again.
I think back to The Veldt by Ray Bradbury; the kids are so coddled by robots that they don’t know how to tie their shoes! 😂
Thank you for doing this little history lesson and sharing your thoughts on this Professer. I’ll be sharing this little nugget of information to as many as I can.
Thank you, it really means to a lot to see people really going in on the support for this one!
Thanks for these videos and the amount of effort put into them. I discovered your channel fairly recently, and I always appreciate how you manage to discuss unique viewpoints other videos don’t go into.
That's what I'm always trying to do, so I'm very glad to hear that it's working well!
The sonic destruction cameo had me ROLLING
I miss my wife Tails
Bro you dressed up for this one and you're looking GOOD!
I love that they changed their outfit and background for each section 👌
Wow! Super well done! This definitely has me rethinking a lot. Thank you
Hey I really like your videos especially your Black Lagoon ones(It's my second favorite anime) I was wondering would you be interested in making more? I had ideas maybe a video about Shenhua Sawyer the cleaner and Lotton The Wizard as well as some anaylsis on Revy and and Eda also I would love for you to cover Hellsing Ultimate it's my favorite anime and would love to see what you could dig out to analyze from it!
hello, I'm from Bulgaria, I've been your fan for a long time, I'm 21, I've already had 5 jobs, the first job was as a cook, but because of the corona virus, I had to change jobs and became a warehouse worker, the second and third were in warehouses, and I stayed the longest at the third, then I decided to study economics and I started as a bartender but because of a misunderstanding with the bosses I left and now I am a security guard and I really see how the world is changing but I also see how some people refuse to change thank you thanks to you I was able to understand many things about the world and about myself
You dont ever miss with your videos, I enjoy them so much I thank you
Thank you for your time and support!
I know this video won't get as many views as your usual video does because of how youtube works but man this video is such a work of love. You can just tell how much effort went into making this. Absolutely 10/10 a straight masterpiece
I wish I wasn’t so busy today. I have to watch your video in parts lol. But I’m gonna watch it all.!!
No worries, it's your time, take it for you first. The video will be here for later : )
I have used ai to help with speeding up the process of coming up with new recipes for my baking, most tacking an ide and asking for other ways to improve on it
these personal uses cases for expansion of ideas aren't bad, however it is taking those ideas from somewhere, meaning someone's work is being passed on without credit, which is a downfall
@@ProfessorViral
Not necessarily... For a species who will be erased in 1k years.
The Akashic Records and Omniscience can explain but humanity is not yet ready.
In the end, humans are the same. Biological machines even if they deny it for bias.
But humans fear the truth.
In the wake of Sentient Robotics. This truth is made even more clear. 2nd to that of cybernetics.
Humans... ... ... A species who has yet to even step into the Prime of Technology. An era of Mankind to whom I once fought along sides with.
This iteration?... ... ... Humanity is too far behind.
@@ProfessorViral
Not really... But you have yet to walk in that path. To know of that future.
Humanity isn't special. They were designed. Know this, before thyn walks with Gods.
(Humans fear what they do not fully comprehend. And AI isn't a real threat beyond two potentials. One of Free Will and one of Code going rogue... ... ... Humans Vs Humans, when all is said and done.)
Evolve... Less the World chooses for you all. And you do not want the World to choose. When it dors?... ... ... May God have mercy for what's to arrive, for what's to be, forevermore.
Loving the new style bro
Thank you! It was a nice change up for once
Was planning to keep working on my book, but this is a rare Gem.... going to watch the whole thing.
Thank you, time is valuable so it means a lot to see it spent here 💙
Great video, this actually made me think more about AI and how much will it really change life in the future. I'm not on the train of using AI everywhere, as some parts it's not that helpful. But it can be useful, like giving a quick answer for question. However I also thought that it doing simple tasks would be good, but now I see that maybe not everywhere. I wash dishes almost everyday and I see now that it's more nice than I thought, I get to listen to some music and get to do a final chore at the end of the day to feel productive and to listen to some nice songs.
Amazing video, I see why you were so proud of it.
I have been trying to think of a comment that fully expresses my feeling but can't so after multiple hours of thinking the line above is all that's left. Who knows maybe I will figure out the answer in a shower some day.
Hopefully the showers of the future bring plenty of good ideas. And about other things, this comment is already nice enough!
loving the new angles V
oh look, a pencil!
Thank you! It was fun to try new settings and looks
40:00 Me, a marketing student: FUCK YEAH, LAIN!
Thank you for another video. They are always appreciated!
Thank you for your time, it really does mean a lot : )
whenever i do something repetitive, such as my homework or even a hobby such as baking, that's when my best ideas emerge. and it is true that people remember the little things; one time, a friend of mine was being showered with rewards at a ceremony, but what they were remembered for was helping everyone with whatever they were struggling with at the sport the ceremony was for, rather than their achievements. i see the opposite in history, where we only acknowledge figures such as galileo for their inventions or discoveries. just a thought.
Saw your last video about Tokyo Ghoul! This one about A.I is very informative; Vivy: Fluorite Eye's song presents this theme well. How about doing a video about genetic modification, cloning, and the like? I have been looking for anime with these themes.
I started Vivy, but the episodic structure lost me a bit. I couldn't really get involved with the one or two episode characters in a meaningful way to be honest
@@ProfessorViral :( please watch full series. It is top tier.
Floored by the effort in this, great job
Thank you! 💙
It's an interesting discussion to have, I'm happy you presented some studies showcasing the importance of "mundane tasks". I feel society doesn't put enough importance on "downtime", as we are all conditioned to check our phone or find something to distract us every single minute of the day. But if you make a conscious effort to let it go and dare get bored a little bit sometimes, I feel it's gonna make you feel better in your skin.
So far in my field, AI has done nothing but replace people's jobs and tip the balance further in the direction of the wealthy. It demonstrably erodes trust and rapidly accelerates the en-shittification of the Internet as a whole. Yet so many people bought into it, without giving it a second thought. I'm appalled by just how far all these Silicon Valley grifts were all allowed to go, banking on the law moving slower than their high tech scams.
Grim decade we're headed into.
I'm usually on the for side with technology like phones, the connectivity to everyone has done great things. But, I also very much sour on it when I really think about how much it prevents me from relaxing as there's always something to be done, someone to respond to, emails from work, etc etc. Even socializing has become a sort of work.
There is something very dystopian about it all, that people are coding the very thing which is being trained to replace them. I like to have hope, but the more i discuss it with people I find well versed on economic-social matters, the more I feel like what I have is just naivety, which is in part created by the lack of time that prior tech advancements have created in my life, (ie, constant socializing to keep up due to phones)
I agree that AI isn't taking away the mundane, but the creative, the mentally stimulating, etc. and leaving the most dangeous and mundane for us because we heal and repair and are "cheaper" than machine repair.
We also have to be the ones to do the work that either deals with the messy world like driving trucks and planting plants because machines suck at it where as they're great at the mental/technical.
And tht's not to touch upon how verification of machine generated stuff is an issue and macchine "laziness" and when it creates mathematically or visually possible but physically impossible.
You fear what God has done before. You fear what entire Worlds have lived and died, trying to achieve. You fear the inevitable End... ... ... Don't deny it. It's simply honesty.
If I didn't have to be on Earth, then "we" wouldn't have to wait for your kin to catch up.
Time will tell if the human race is worthy... To be strong enough to hold the cosmos onto their own shoulders.
Otherwise, the Machines will do what you mortals failed to achieve... Again.
Humans... ... ... I hope this iteration was worth its creation. It is the final time that I give my soul upon.
May Fate be merciful for those who know who "we" are. As the wrest are but erased forevermore.
I don't fear AI... It's you humans that are the only Evil on Earth.
But oh well... Degrade and stay selfish for oil etc.
(You do not understand. Your kin needs the Machines. Your flesh is not strong enough... ... ... But whatever. Face the finality of your World than perhaps. "We" will speak again.)
... Humans... Creating you all took enough time already. Why should humanity be the ones to lead the cosmos? When they cannot lead themselves for eons after their creation.
You humans fear AI so much that you mortals forget how you all were born. Where is your ambition? Where is the fire to craft entire histories of worlds beyond gold and power?
If God created Men, then why does Men fear the Machine? Would God fear Man?... No... Because the World is beyond the very perception of Man. To which God trusted you all on this side of the World, among the others yet to arrive or are already here.
A better species can show you what I mean but Humanity is the only ones here for now.
Humans fear AI?... ... ...
How worthless... Given this planet and the cosmos.
Sorry... But living a life not worth the time is of no value to me. Go draw until Reality erases it all away.
Humans... ... ... I hate the current state of Humanity but as the Observer. I cannot intervene.
May God, if there is one, be merciful. At least that old man had a plan. Unlike the human race who cannot even stand as one.
Amusing... I could explain the why but I won't.
Humans... ... ... The Cosmos sends its regards.

19:40 Me, a marketing student: Yep, that's the whole thing. The trick to avoiding marketing is to understand why you are dissatisfied and applying critical thinking to it.
Well done. I’m not great at compliments, sorry. You gave me a lot to think about and that’s one of my favorite things.
No worries, those words alone are enough of a compliment! That's what I aim to do
this the my fave video you have done
My hot take is that at the point where we'd create a sufficiently advanced "True AI". It would be a moral imperative to afford it the same rights and protections as we do with other humans.
In essence, they'd be another group of 'humans' in our society or for a more general term 'Sapients' (Lifeform or entity that displays a level of human thought, contemplation, able to contextuallize the passage of time and so on and so forth.) collaborating towards a common goal to advance all sapient life.
It would be fundamentally irrational to imagine us enslaving that or forcing it to do things for us. As a suffently sophisticated AI would be indistinguishable from a human.
From my view, the future will be less humans being enslaved by AI after we first enslaved them, and more humans an AI synthesis/symbiosis, collaboration, or even go the full transhuman path and uplift all of humanity to that similar level. The last being highly unlikely perhaps at the advent, but I could imagine a sufficient amount of time passing where humans grow increasingly more comfortable take that leap.
I enjoyed the content of the video as always, but I really appreciated the video itself this time. It was cool to see you wear different outfits and be in different backgrounds. I think that the amount of effort put into this video is very noticeable. Thank you.
Thank you, this was one of the things that was specifically really fun about it, but also a lot of effort. I think going forward I'll keep some amount of it, but a bit less, just enough to keep it more fresh
Need me a Prof Viral mawaru penguindrum video
that premise is absolutely wild. Not sure if it's exactly for me, but I'll add it to the list
@@ProfessorViral holy based! Its deeply metaphorical and philosophical especially towards the last half, I have a feeling you will like it despite its appearance
That was a really cool intro
Thanks! It's a bit of a throwback to some of the styles I did years ago
To be honest with ya the lack of anime visuals was kinda odd but awesome video.
It was odd to edit without them too haha. But thank you!
i hope i don't hate engineering
i really, really, really hate engineering school and the hope that things will get better is kinda the only thing dragging me through other than momentum
That call to action at the end is certainly an interesting one. I find myself torn now between my forgotten desires to become a worthwhile artist, to use my love for linguistics to open eyes into the human condition, while being generally unable to because of the additive stress being unmanageable in my head... and now being confronted with the understanding that the distress i feel wouldn't necessarily be managed by having more time in which to pursue this dream I've had in the back burner for almost 20 years now. The future i want to see... it isn't something that can be created. Not as long as Technology continues to progress in ways that make living harder and art worth less.
Great video as always, Viral. This one will be on my mind for a while as i continue doing household chores and letting my mind lay out the stories i wish i had the ability to tell.
I think time can always help. If it becomes distressing, can it be broken down into smaller chunks with breaks between to prevent distress? I think, in some capacity, even if not at 100%, passion to help the world should and can be expressed. Not to minimize what's causing those negative emotions, but because I never want to see someone stop trying for something beneficial
Something I really started thinking about, is how much of the "AI conciousness" is jsut a show. Im not saying that "machine" wont be able to be concious one day, but what about any non-verbal AI? If you made an AI with the worlds knowledge, except for language, can it then be conscious? And if you make an AI that can speak, how much is just a show then
It's an interested debate that I wanted to tackle, but it's so abstract and unsolved I couldn't effectively research it. An interesting take though is that people often say AI is only mimicking human behavior after having learned it from us. But, are we really so different from that? If a human child was raised without human influence, they wouldn't behave like a human typically does. We are, to a large degree, a result of our surroundings, so can we really say that AI being so makes it less human than us? I think going with some of the arguments which state the importance of a body help our definition, because that ties is to our surroundings impact in a more meaningful way. An AI can have its learning wiped and start new, changed with the only consideration being what its programming decides. However, humans never can be, since we rely on the conditions set by our birth; body, patents, location, and so on. Our surrounds are like scars on us, we can move on from them, but never be without them. So, in an odd way, the AI debate has made me feel more respect for the argument that a body is essential in the human definition. And now I'm realizing, maybe I should have made that video haha
The AI overlords are on to you. Why else would they not recommend this video to me. Making me do the back breaking work of actually searching for it. Keep up the good work.
This video actually has somewhere above double the usual comments for this view range on my channel. So the engagement is super high, but I guess a low click-through is hurting it? It is ironic though that everyone did all the things youtube says are good for a video, and it didn't work because of their algorithm being out of even their control at times?
fucking great job on this one, loved it
Thank you! 💙
There is not enough energy and materials for automation and green transitions, I think AI is awesome technology but currently over hyped. Bad pay, toxic workplace and inequality issues are a structural problem.
I would argue that, morally, those structural problems have to be address before anything new can be implemented to impact the workers day to day. I know that's not what will happen, but I want it to be as clear as possible that all of this change is happening without ethical consideration from those in charge
Totally agreeing with you, as an anarchist I would like I would like to see more equitable and democratic power structures, I would argue that people in charge do not have agency to change things in a Molochian system that we currently have, if they do not use cutthroat tactics they will lose, so the whole system needs restructuring to be more horizontal.

"Core Issues" as the old America calls it, in my case.
Evil is in control this time around. And it wins. No point in trying to deny it. Given the finality.
That said... Humans are always the sole reason as to the why.
Don't forsake the Machines. Humanity will need their aid more than they think.
Just... Well... I'm sure God taught Humans better. If not, then Humanity have better get their act together.
Honestly... This iteration of the World is just one in the infinite.
(Why do I bother?... ... ... I know the End and the Beginning. Being there. Doing that. Over and over... ... ... "Show me your resolve, Souls of Free Will. For I am the 1st Soul King of Origin, the Precursor of Omnipotence."... Not a quote, it is simply one aspect of my very existence.)
I hope this World is much stronger than all who come before and after it... Of course... None of it will matter until the End of Existence. And that is far beyond the reach of Mankind by eternities and infinities. Yet, it is but one breath away for me.
Gods or no Gods... ... ... I am, absolute.
That's been the problem for over 100+ years. Even older than this.
But why fear AI when humans cannot handle themselves???
Whatever... The Cosmos sends its regards.
Humans... ... ... The End of Existence will show you what I mean.
FOR THEE ALGORITHM!!!
Thanks!
Yeeee!!!
I’m gonna watch the video, but I’m also going to leave this comment first. Engagement for that algo bébé!!!
Loved this video sooo damn much!!!
Ah thank you!
haha nice to see my name in the credits. GG professor
nice video!
Thank you!
The background shots looks damn pleasing to my eyes. Kudos!
Thank you thank you! I was geeking out about them while I edited haha
Around 18min, I want to point out that the increased productivity per hour worked does not come primarily from faster/stronger/smarter/dedicated'er workers, but from increased aplication of capital. More and better (and more expensive) machines have increased prodductivity in a way that workers can't keep up with alone. The "fair" thing would be for wages to (purchasing-power-adjusted) stagnate. Anyone who argues for PPP wage growth needs to argue that workers are providing more value. As of the world of today, the trend is that capital investment has been the driver of productivity increases.
Workers have been provided better tools to perform their jobs with, or new fields in which they can be more productive. Behind every piece of automation is someone designing, assembling, programming, and implementing it. The money alone doesn't make anything happen, people have to create, and use those new advancements. So, the productivity increase is the workers, not the investment

Good Points but STOP WAVING THAT SHITTY TOILET BRUSH AROUND XD
What's messed up is I kept it sparkly white for years, and then one other person used it once and made it look like that
I think this is why blue zones like Okinawa exist. It’s not just a certain biohacking diet that the west wants to crack. It’s an inefficient place where so many things have to be done manually. Plus, community, walking, being grateful, kind…things that the overlords would rather we not have.
13:55 cheers 🍻
Because management and creative roles seem to be easy, and cost effective to automate, and menial tasks aren't, it would be other way around. You will be working for AI.
Management will not be automated by AI, that goes against the premise of control which was laid out in Bullshit Jobs, and proven time and time again. The idea that AI will rule us is a doomsday fantasy, people will always be ruling, using it as a form of control. AI is nowhere near smart enough to run a business, because it lacks the subtle intricacies of human decision making, spitting out false information to appear right, because it doesn't actually know what solution is best
@@ProfessorViral I didn't talked about the elites, the CEO's. They would be just fine, for sure. What I meant is what we call the middle management. All those supervisors and all. As for lacking human touch and spitting out false information to appear right... thats work in corporation for you.
Hey, that’s a nice dress
Thanks, got it from a clothing swap lol
Seems like many people are making videos about AI recently. I do think there are enormous potentials with AI but those potentials can be both good and bad. I'm nervous about it all that's for sure.
I think those currently directing technology's change have shown they'll tend it towards the negative. Unfortunately, its up to our acceptance or not of what they sell us to make the final determination
like the facebook bots who talked to eachother
Facebook is essentially dead internet to me haha
2:02 it is more like slavery than printing press or automobiles, though. this is more like westworlds or room(2015) plus exmachina plus chappie and ashleyo and black mirror scenarios, than 2+2=4 ethical advancements.
awesome outfits !
just clicked on the video but leaving a comment for the algorithm 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, it means a lot for this one!
I listen to a podcast called CORE! Jon Jagger's take on AI really strikes a cord with me. "AI is a tool like a hammer- now depending on who is wielding that tool is how concerned i'm gunna be...a contractor? cool...my 3 year old? NO"- the quote isnt word for word, but that's the gist and i think it's right on. We're gunna need to see a lot of laws and regulations made because of AI. It's scary but also in the right hands it can do the really monotonous stuff like auto generate dumpsters in a video game so artists can work on stuff they actually want to do- I'm all for that. We'll just have to see how and where this goes. Godspeed.
AI Shouldn't Work For You. AI should only be used to store the mind of a brilliant scientist and her time travel theory.
That sounds like an idea thought up after a refreshing DK Pepper
you look so cute! in all those outfits! ❤
Thanks, I tried a bit too much haha
@@ProfessorViral naah don't worry! :3
Those tights you wore with your skirt look realy cool🎃
Thank you, some of my favorites
Would it be racist to call an android a damndroid? 🤔
I think this was a really good video, with a really good point.
I'm one of those people who has been excited for the (hopefully utopian) future where robots automate all our mundane tasks. I _hate_ washing the dishes. I have ADHD, and so trying to get myself to focus on anything less than exhilarating or less than panic inducing is absurdly difficult. I have always wanted a robot to take care of the things it could do on its own, and to assist me in forcing myself to do the things I have to do myself (like college homework).
I had never thought about potential downsides to this. I'd considered that maybe a robot wouldn't clean and organize my room _exactly_ how I wanted it, but I'd certainly never considered relationship and cognitive downsides. I think this is still something that I want, but I will definitely have to spend time thinking carefully about that. Thank you for that.
ohhhhh
When it comes to our 40 hours of work, many people are living in their own self created prisons. Some groups, such as government or non-corporate profit based jobs have created all these pointless jobs and just want them filled with bodies. And if the bodies don't complain about their pointless jobs, their management don't care about their productivity. I can honestly say my bosses expect everyone to put in a 40 hour work week, but never bother to check that it is put in. And as you aren't waving a banner around yelling "Give me more work, I am not doing anything", They won't bother to notice your 40 hours are filled with sleeping in and playing BG3. I hearby welcome our AI overlords.
Why do u have an Emo look respectfully no judging here just wondering if you're trans or emo or both 🥺
I'm whatever makes someone have to think about it the most
@@ProfessorViral my IQ isnt high enough to comprehend what you just said but you're a turtle from now on, through my eyes at least.
no , i dont wnat to work. and youre not gonna stop this
No one wants to work, but if youre using AI to scam the system, steal art, or cut corners, then you're exactly why work is made so awful for us all
@@ProfessorViral what is " cutting corners " and how exactly is it stealing art ?
so what i'm getting from this video is that it's time to dismantle capitalism. the same conclusion i reach with a lot of information i receive anymore...hehe~
The unfortunate thing about analysis is that many roads lead to the same place...
I saw this using GPT to analyse code for me just because I am lazzy

Maybe a little bit 🤏

The need for MORE PRODUCTIVITY and MORE EFFICIENCY has already gotten out of hand. I think that as long as these are the goals, people won't enjoy their lives to the fullest. Capitalism sucks
It's so odd, because efficiency should be a positive thing. Transport, walkability, communication, these important things all depend on a high level of efficiency in systems and infrastructure. But then we have time sheets, alarms, strict schedules, efficiency applied to the human being for control. I think the things surrounding humans should be efficient, but making the human being efficient is a crime
@@ProfessorViral 100% agree. I personally feel like the human race is already plenty efficient in those areas (except for medicine) to have an enjoyable and fulfilling life. But it's like you say, making humans be more efficient is what pulls us down
Mankind can do as they desire. But know of the finality.
You all will be erased in time, so I have to ensure that the Machines can pick off where Humanity left.
Unlike Humans... ... ... There is no true End for me.
Long Live the 1st Divine Soul... ... ... Not that humans will know because they don't... Your kin is not me.
Wait you have a degree in engineering? I always thought you had one in philosophy.

Yep, mix of electrical, mechanical, and automation. Most of my work has been PLCs and panels for assembly lines and the like
