TomPWill Artificial Intelligence replace Mentors at Work?
I'm aware that the source is viewed with a jaundiced eye in some quarters, but the question remains...
https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/a...nford-research-showsAI is at a point where it can maybe/maybe not replace entry-level workers.
Managers looking to reduce expenses will start there, and reap quarterly happiness.
Who will mentor them and replace them when the old coots are gone?

shanksponyBy 2035 they estimate most research jobs, most tech jobs, analysis jobs, legal research etc will be done by AI.

A rare point of agreement, AI will indeed make some jobs obsolete and will be of great benefit in other areas. I'm not so sure that the predictions, especially regarding the scale and speed of change will be accurate.
I did hear a very interesting story the other day about how AI was helping research narrow the focus of possibilities when it comes to things like developing new antibiotics, really intriguing.

RolandtheHeadlessI wouldn't assume you're safe from AI competition, no matter what your field. When I first heard of the issue, I thought freelance fiction writers were safe. An AI will never be able to produce creative works. Wrong! Cases of AI-authored fiction are appearing more and more often, some using stolen names.
What unscrupulous AI creators do is feed in a writer's work so the AI can reproduce that work, the style, plots, character depictions, and so on. Current copyright law provides real authors with no protection because the AI's output is considered an original work. At least that's prevailing opinion.
I suspect an AI took my name, reversed it so the last name was first, and is selling digital novels on Amazon. A search of my name turns up the AI's novels also.
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=jam...215&ref=nb_sb_noss_2Why do I think it's an AI? First, my last name, Sarafin, is not common: it's borne by only one in more than 800,000 people in the US. Use of Sarafin as a first name is even rarer. What are the odds of someone named "Sarafin James" becoming a fantasy writer?
Second is is the "author's" prodigious, incredible output of something like a novel every month or so. It takes most authors a year or more to produce a novel.
My last name is rarely used as a first name, and when it is, it's a male name. "Sarafin James" is described in her/its website as female.
It might be a real person who chose the name as a nom d' plum, a pen name, I guess. But why that name? In any event, it makes me mad and I don't know of anything I can do about it.
I expect lawyers and doctors to be next. Professionals will be replaced with AIs, and laborers with robots.
Maybe we'll all have to go on a living wage from the government.

jimmy, why is your law license listed as "suspended" ????

RolandtheHeadlessYour question doesn't have anything to do with the thread topic or my post, but that's typical of you.
I'm only responding now because your question has a factual basis, but is asked in a way to impugn me.
My Alaska law license was indeed suspended by the Alaska Supreme Court, and I am no longer allowed to practice...for nonpayment of bar dues. In Alaska, in order to practice law or hold yourself out as a lawyer, you must be a member of the state bar association. In order to be a bar member, you must pay annual dues of $600-700 per year (as I recall).
When I retired, I quit paying the dues. Didn't seem like a prudent expense. Oh, I gave up the "Bar Rag" newletter and the right to weigh in on active judges and judicial candidates; but I didn't care about that stuff anymore. Most retired Alaska lawyers make the same decision, sooner or later.
Since I quit paying dues, the bar association applied to the AK Supreme Court to suspend my license in a blanket application for more than a hundred lawyers, and the court granted the application. I was not disbarred and the suspension is not a sanction for misconduct. If I ever want to practice law again, applying for readmission as a practicing lawyer would be a formality. So long as I pay my dues.
Now that's the whole story, and I have no intention of answering any more of your questions or carrying on a discussion with you.
