 this is why it's completely delusional to suggest that AI will ever replace humans in our lifetime

they are just text and pixel manglers

as a programmer, it bugs me immensely that programmers are so stupid as to suggest that programmers can make any use of these things

they don't even write templated find and replace generic type code generation properly, they can't even comprehend more than a 100 line function 
 well I think that AI can replace parts of the more robotic shores humans must execute right now, or maybe most, If not all of them. But there is ONE thing it cannot, EVER, do…to become human. AI should serve as our slave. And I mean it in a litteral sense.

 i doubt that they can even do much of that

here's the thing: how expensive is the cost of human labor in a kilojoules per dollar cost, versus burning coal/reacting uranium to drive turbines to run an electric grid, easily already a 30% loss of joules versus the direct and efficient combustion of an animal body?

how many of these joules does it cost to run the brain of an ai mangling engine? at least as much as 30 people are consuming, and this power is more expensive to produce and distribute 
 Is there something that, if you saw AI do it, you’d decide you were wrong on this? 
 no because there is way too much money sunk into it for someone not to be engaging in fraud
