Flown in a plane by a human.

Give it time, soon enough they’ll be AI planes crashing all around us and it will be considered “progress”

Can't speak for this specific instance of course, but in the UK you occasionally get people flying messages over football ⚽ grounds or whatever, and I have read more than once that the company doing the flying don't actually know what message they are pulling - they just get the packaged up message and fly it where the customer asks them to.
Don't know if that's true, though and it's arguable whether that absolves them completely of responsibility for the message being shown.
EDIT - that being said, the first example I found contradicts me - here, the message was known by everyone, including the pilot!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/26783751
EDIT 2 - a particularly nasty example here, where someone mentions banners not being checked. They definitely should have been.

"Due to the nature of the activity, banners are not checked before take-off and the content is at the operator's discretion."

I mean they use autopilot for most of the flight.

They'll cram AI in there given the chance

Uhh yeah, almost all planes have an autopilot system.

Since when is that a requirement? Other types exist.
You can use linkages and mechanics in automation too, not just fluids, pneumatics as well.

Modern…? Why do you think it’s complex?
They’ve been around since 1912.
What’s this about economic sense? It’s to make pilots jobs easier and allow longer flights.
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 108d
Which isn't (yet) AI.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 108d
Still isn’t a human, the distinction is irrelevant.
A computer or a set of instructions is handling it, instead of a human, saying it’s Ai or not instead is missing the entire point.
You are saying one’s okay, but not the other? How would they be different?

This company is known for this. To clarify, I mean known for making deliberately inflammatory ads, then showing them as obtrusively or carelessly as possible, because it gets people to post about it.
The only reason their company got popular in the first place was when they put these ads everywhere to piss people off and generate engagement.

Damn, while I fell for it. Hopefully this won't give them any business

Oh yeah, rage sells even better than pornography.
Meta and Google etc realised this years ago already and tuned their algorithms for this. Get people enraged, they'll scroll more and see more ads, more revenue! It'll enrage people, divide people, get them to vote for the worst candidates, like Trump.
Tech companies have ruined and continue to ruin the world and right bros are full on aiming to end it for all of us so that they can live in some utopia whole the rest of us are dead or suffering
Sounds super conspiratorial? Thiel, Musk, as a few good examples

Just because AI can't do that doesn't mean I couldn't replace you.

Agreed. What I meant is the target group: they probably love the idea that this is offensive and inhuman.
It's also bullshit. A lie, a boundless exaggeration.

I see a lot of ads for ai slop on the subway and I refuse to engage with them. I don't look them up. Fuck 'em.
Sometimes people vandalize them and if I saw someone doing so, I don't know what you're talking about.

At least they are finally saying it out loud - AI and Automation is here to totally replace human workers. None of this "Your job won't be replaced by AI, it will be replaced by someone who knows AI," because that ONE person who knows AI is going to replace THOUSANDS of jobs.
I've been saying since before Covid that unregulated AI is going to cause a permanent double-digit unemployment rate of 20%, 30%, 40%, very possibly higher, and I've been savaged for it. Yet last night, ABC reported that within 10 years, there will be 170,000 autonomous trucks on the road. That's 170,000 permanently unemployed truck drivers. What are they going to do make an alternative living and match that income? Uber says on their website that they intend to replace their fleet with autonomous cars, and has a partnership with Waymo, with a plan to roll out on Atlanta soon. That's been a job that LOTS of unemployed, or underemployed people can do, and now that's going away.
And it's just the start. I just read how the tech leaders in SF are quietly worrying about the giant looming unemployment class that AI is going to produce. It's already happening with GPT-1, what's it going to be like when it's evolved to GPT-7, and it can do most jobs better than humans?
‘Catastrophe in the making,’ tech expert warns about AI
After replacing half his workforce with AI, the Salesforce CEO brought in an Elon Robot to stagger around the office and be less helpful than a toddler, then:
He's so GIDDY about his dumb robot, that he can't hide his glee in replacing every single disgusting human who works for him.
Tech experts are finally voicing extreme worry about what our country will look like when there are millions of permanently unemployed people, and a government who treats them like it's their fault. The government should already be discussing this issue, and they simply won't. AI policy for BOTH parties right now is to do absolutely NOTHING. Don't even hint at any kind of regulatory policies, job protections, robot taxes, UBI, etc. And that includes DEMOCRATS.
And why are they worried? Because hungry, hopeless people will do seriously desperate things for their children, and if they band together, every single rich person will die a gruesome death. And there are a lot of rich people in Silicon valley, and beyond. When the floodgates finally open, there will be no stopping it.
The question is: How will The Government handle the excess unemployed workers? Will they have UBI, and encourage them to create innovative products and businesses? Will they create great great art? Will they recognize that by giving people a satisfying life it makes a safer America for everyone?
Or will they just decide that they want to keep those profits for themselves, and they don't want to pay for those increasingly dangerous people, and eliminate them?
Which party will choose which strategy?

I know what Republicans will do. They will send AI robot armies marching through every city to just start massacring humans.

Oh, yeah, Slaughterbots are on the way, count on it.
Here's the strategy: Don't kill the Slaughterbots, that will be very difficult, and they could be valuable weapons for us.
No, save the Slaughterbots, and kill their owners, take over their corporations, and take control of the Slaughterbots. Then turn them on the wealthy. Force them to live at sea on their Mega Yachts, and track them down one-by-one.

Nah, they'll likely have some kind of remote-activated self-destruct feature that fries them to prevent us from using them.

That's fine, then they can't be used against us, either. Than we can just go after them with sharp, pointy, and blunt objects.
