When Artificial (Semi) Intelligence Replaces 90% of Bloggers and 99% of Reporters, We'll All Fucking Laugh, Because We had It coming
Some of us know how stupid our jobs are and how easily replaceable by (barely) thinking9mitation machines we are.
For many, though, this will come as a shock.
It will be funny.
An awful lot of "mindworker" workers, who think they're splitting atoms simply becausse their jobs involve the simple manipulation of language grammar rules, are going to soon learn their drudges and as easily replaced asa a McDonald's order-taker.
Building a machine that can think up good, smart ideas will take a decade or two.
But building a machine that can come up with stupid, bad idea -- as most online writers do -- will take about five years.
See you guys. Hope you like working at Starbucks, instead of just hanging out there pretending to "work on your novel."
