The most automated stuff are tedious things like rotoscoping. Creative projects still require human expertise to assemble, fine-tune, and use ML tools effectively.

Repetitive Basic tasks have been continually made more manageable by technology, and thanks to that skilled professionals have been able to complete more ambitious projects that would have been impossible for individuals or small groups to take on before.

Mentioned it in another comment already... People already do this with robotics and ai

This is one of the most interesting takes I’ve seen on AI.

Such a good point. We totally need robots to be the ones picking through piles of E-waste to get precious metals, not little kids.

Because those are byproducts of trying to build AGI to help augment the white collar workforce, which as others have said purely digital work is just lower hanging fruit right now.

It may cost millions of dollars to build a model, but that can be after an exponential amount of iterations. Doing the same with IRL hardware and capital is the exception not the norm.

The next phases are better digital twins and applying these advances to them to find strategic meat space projects to put hours to.

This is a kind of bad take really. Just because AI can make art does not mean that's the only thing that it will be used for.

Realistically though it's blindingly obvious why AI isn't being used for ship breaking, and that's because it's not a purely software problem, it requires interfacing with robots and humanoid robots at that because a standard mechanical arm attached to an assembly line won't cut it in this scenario. So it's an incredibly difficult problem to solve and being angry that someone hasn't solved it yet is stupid.

If this guy is really a programmer he should know that.

While he's at it he should automate doctors, mechanics, contractors... It's all so easy right???

I wonder what he's a developer for?

I can assure you that the finest minds are not in ad tech.

They make equipment to cut up ships from the relative safety of an excavator.
