人工智能自动化“重复性”工作的荒谬说法

3作者: cadabrabra5 天前
这只是人们津津乐道的一种说法,因为它听起来不错。或者也许是因为它让 AI 听起来不那么可怕,甚至更容易接受。“别担心。AI 只会取代你工作中重复的部分。” 但如果你花一分钟仔细思考这种说法,就会意识到它有多么荒谬。 人类已经知道如何自动化重复的体力劳动和数字劳动,而且我们已经通过使用机器和计算技术做了几十年甚至几个世纪。简单来说:如果它是重复性的,那么你根本不需要 AI 来自动化它。 事实上,我们希望 AI 自动化的任务恰恰是那些不重复的任务。这才是 AI 的全部意义所在。 我们怎么会从 AI 的最初目的,变成声称它会去做我们已经做了几十年的事情?这些说法从何而来,为什么人们会相信它们?

This is just one of those narratives that people latch onto because it has a nice ring to it. Or maybe it’s because it makes AI sound less threatening and perhaps even palatable. “Don’t worry. AI is going to replace only the repetitive parts of your job.” But if you spend even a minute examining this narrative, then you will realize just how preposterous it is.<p>Humans have already figured out how to automate repetitive physical and digital labor, and we’ve been doing it for decades and even centuries by using machines and computing. Simply put: If it’s repetitive, then you don’t need AI to automate it.<p>In fact, the kinds of task we want AI to automate are precisely those that AREN’T repetitive. That was the whole god damn point of AI.<p>How did we go from the original purpose of AI to claiming that it will do what we’ve already been doing for decades? Where do these narratives come from, and why do people fall for them?
