This shit again?
The tasks AI is replacing only require powerful computers and internet access.
If you want to make that comparison, to scrap fucking ships using AI, you need a robot that the AI can control.
Or what else do you want to do? Putting a fucking computer server that is running some ship scrapping AI in the middle of a shipyard and see if it magically grows arms?
No, I'm not denying we have an issue with this fucking capitalism (with and without AI), but stop comparing "software" tasks with other tasks what would required specialized machinery/robots.
Isn't the point that we don't bother looking into those specialized machines and tools because why bother when we can just throw meatbags at it?
There are plenty of people working on automation for manual tasks, but it's a really hard problem. Making machines that can move around freely and are compact as humans is really hard. Automation works really well on assembly lines where parts can move to the machine.
But this is total nonsense because those tools are getting developed and have huge budgets. Many of them are already on the market and in use, especially remote control cutting tools.
Far more money has been invested in self drive and ambulatory robotics than image gen, it just so happens image gen is far easier than walking or using a saw.
Gpt 5 is coming around October and I think it'll likely be the version that is able to effectively create task based workflow so it'll be able to set up simulation training to evolve kinematic solutions within a framework, basically the thing we need robots to be able to do. When that's possible you can expect to see a big boom in multiuse robotics.
The image generator AIs are a byproduct of image recognition AIs, they're related.
Image recognition development is fundamental to advanced industrial automation. We're getting there, the media is just not covering that part because it's more fun to write an article about stupid computers thinking we have 6 fingers than about false positives dropping 2% because of some new development
Yes we do. It's just a hell of a lot more expensive, and a lot more difficult.
