Those stupid human errors AGAIN! Please make more robots to take over every persons work they can.

 

I am a programmer so i think it will take much longer to replace my job by AI. We programmers will never create AI that can write code :P

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

If you want to create AI that can write code, then you have to create AI that can think, have logic and so on. In other words you have to creat human. And if you manage to make one then it will have potential to replace whole humanity. Skynet remember? :D

So this has... What to do with automation and AI? They mention AI a lot in the article, but... Do they just not understand what happened? Even though they wrote about it?

Speak for yourself~
