No. Not really anyways.

HOWEVER… The AIs in question MUST BE Competent Enough. What your definition of that will be is likely to be flexible and possibly even debatable with others depending on the situation.

What needs to be true is that AI must not be capable of making the same mistakes a human could, but the mistakes that an AI COULD POSSIBLY MAKE are required to be mistakes that any human could reasonably and very easily catch.

Unfortunately the above IS NOT TRUE of current AI LLM type implementations. These LLMs have no consciousness nor ability to reason beyond what a computer could. They have no creativity, despite having the ability to parse language and guess the next word.

If you only learned the rules, grammar and vocabulary of a specific language and were given absolutely zero context or cultural and historical teaching; an LLM is what that would look like. This by itself is not enough to replace jobs.

Is that fact enough to stop heartless corporations from trying it? Hell. The. Fuck. No. They will try it anyways, they will ‘fuck around and find out’ on the off chance that it may save them money. They don’t care that it’s the company selling the ‘AI product’'s job to lie to sell their product. The fact that some companies are that desperate to save cash is telling in and of itself about the state of the world right now…but that’s another topic for another day and another threaded post in another subcommunity on Beehaw.
