F2F Class Notes (Mike)

What differentiates superstition and spiritual belief?

Those kind of jobs which with high repeatability or have clear rules and SOP, mean they’re easy to be replaced by computers. But that’s the old idea. AI now can solve more problems that human can’t. Especially in big data area, they can make some decisions just by analysis the big data they collected, even they can learn by themselves. In this scope, they do better job than human, because they aren’t influenced by emotions or make logical mistakes. Luckily, AI still can’t think creatively and build up good relationship with humans yet. So except those jobs which need the creativity and interpersonal relationship will be replaced.

Jobs with high repeatability or have clear rules and SOPs mean they can be easily replaced by machines. But that’s the old idea. AI now can solve more problems than humans, especially in terms of fields related to big data. AI can make some decisions by just analyzing the big data they collected, what’s more, AI can now even learn by themselves. In this sense, they can do a better job than humans, because they aren’t influenced by emotions and won’t make logical mistakes. Luckily, AI can’t think creatively and is unable to build/form good relationships with humans yet. Therefore jobs requiring no creativity or interpersonal relationships will be replaced.

highly repetitive jobs or ones that have ….. means ….

Because of human’s curiosity, I don’t think we can stop AI’s evolution. We will stop them only if we found a big threaten from them. Although I still doubt it, we all know the earth warming is killing us but few people care.

Because of human’s curiosity, we can’t stop AI’s evolution. We will stop them only if they become a threat to us. The problem is, we tend to ignore the imminent issues, for example, the earth is getting warmer, but most people don’t care. 

Actually, I believe our civilization is inverted. We have all but we pretend that we don’t have anything. We create so much pollution just for buying an apple from supermarket which it’s so easy for our ancestors to pick off from a tree.
We claim technology is leading us to the happiness, but more and more people also get ill because of it. I wonder if we should be afraid of that AI is taking away our jobs or we should worry about AI is taking away our life more.

Actually, I believe our civilization is going backwards. We have everything we need but we still want more. We create so much pollution just to buy an apple from the supermarket, on the contrary, it’s so easy for our ancestors to pick an apple from a tree.
We claim technology is giving us a happier life, but the fact is more and more people are getting ill because of it, especially teenagers who can’t live without it. The real threat is probably not AI taking away our jobs, rather, it’s our life that we should be worried about.
