Bill Gates: AI will replace doctors/teachers – humans unneeded for most things

So far Google/Microsoft/Meta can't even get me to tap all the shiny stars and colorful animated rings they've crammed into their products in an unprecedentedly intrusive way, all to beg me to interact with their AI. And now they're going to replace my kids' teachers?

Even my nine year old has a better understanding of how his eyes are sometimes bigger than his mouth.

> “It’s very profound and even a little bit scary — because it’s happening very quickly, and there is no upper bound,” Gates told Brooks.

The “there is no upper bound” in this assertion seems to be bearing a lot of weight. It’s probably a mistake to believe that the upper bound is where we are currently, I admit, but it also feels equally scummy to hear another Shovel-merchant announcing that they have struck a vein of infinite gold and it’s only a matter of time before everyone’s digging. The rhetoric used here, where this bold claim is just thrown in as if it’s already universally acknowledged, particularly rubs me the wrong way.

I hope AI replaces Bill Gates. Even a bad LLM could write less insipid and vacuous statements, and publish a witless list of books to read every year.

An AI can’t fall backwards into tremendous wealth and then imagine it earned it from smarts and hard work, then pretend to know more than everyone else.

this seems like someone who interacts with only 1% of society.
