    I guess that’s basically one of my problems with this ai craze. It’s the wrong tool for the job. There are way better ways to automate processes ir whatever they are trying to do. Possibly cheaper, though not having tried to purchase an ai system in kit sure.

    You point nails it, yeah the self serve kiosks are a good example they work way better. Then the human backup is there too.

    At this point I fundamentally disagree that it will replace jobs, the kiosks didn’t. Walmart and Home Depot almost exclusively have self checkout, right? Well what about the cashiers? For one, those stores had like…. 3 cashiers for the entire store so not many are replaced. Further, now they have the employee milling about the self checkout kiosks for whatever. Shrink prevention, assistance because the self checkouts are hilariously dumb etc. the jobs changed but they are still there.
