    I bet it’s just running scripts though. It won’t have any actual intelligence.

    When people talk about robots taking over human jobs they’re talking really about AI powered robots. Ones capable of at least some actual thought processes rather than just blindly moving around based on what some unchanging computer code tells it to do. Ones that are capable of adapting to new situations and error handling on their own.

    Companies don’t really have those robots yet.

    Comparing current industrial construction robots to AI robots of the future is like comparing a spinning wheel to a 3D printer.

      Robots are a different discussion from AI, because as soon as AI can replace human labor basically all desk jobs will vanish almost overnight. Manual labor will take longer to replace because it’s not just a matter of programming, but installing and engineering the robotics necessary to do the work.

      And even then, humans might still be cheaper since we’re just disposable meat lol
