If this is the case (which it definitely isn’t) how the hell can we prepare? All resign from our jobs so they don’t have to make us redundant?
Tech Secretary Peter Kyle thinks AI is just a few years from becoming as smart and capable as a human — and he wants the U.K. to prepare.

Tech Secrettary Peter Kyle has fuck all idea how modern AI works and how limited it actually is.
IE it is in no way capable of comprehension. Only pattern advanced matching. Comprehension will always be needed to be as capable as a human.
Hence why taco bells attempt need to be programmed/trained how to reject order of 18000 cups of water. While a human would automatically know such was not considered normal or acceptable.

Yeah, AI is extremely good at specific things. If my workplace chose to train one on the engineering software I use and the company standards it would almost certainly outperform me at the design work in a fraction of the time. Fairly scary as my career would just completely evaporate. However, it absolutely couldn’t do the bullshit parts where there isn’t enough information to make a concrete decision or you have to chase specific people in other teams for info, and it certainly couldn’t be trusted to sign-off any designs. It would still reduce my job to what is essentially general admin/project coordination work though
